How MyClippingViews works

A manager launches a clipping campaign and announces what they pay per 1,000 views. Clippers join, connect their accounts, and post. From there MyClippingViews does the rest: it finds the clips on its own, tracks their views continuously, and applies the campaign's payout grid to tell everyone, to the cent, where they stand.

The whole journey, end to end

1. A manager creates a campaign

   They set a date window (clips posted outside it don't count), a payout grid — usually a rate per 1,000 views — and, optionally, a maximum budget. The campaign gives them an invite code to share.

2. Clippers join with the code

   From the app, a clipper enters the code and joins. They immediately see the grid: what 1,000 views pay, on which platforms, until which date.

3. Everyone connects their own accounts

   TikTok, Instagram, YouTube. Sign-in happens on the platform's own page: the password is typed there, never with us, and the access granted is read-only. The details are here.

4. Clips import themselves, views get tracked

   Nothing left to do. Videos posted inside the campaign window appear on their own, with their view counts, and the earnings counter follows. Nobody pastes a link by hand, nobody forgets a clip.

What the app reads on your accounts

Only your own videos and the public statistics that go with them. Nothing else is requested, and nothing that is requested can write.

Access tokens are encrypted (AES-256-GCM) and deleted the moment you disconnect an account. You can also revoke access from the platform's own settings, without going through us at all.

How earnings are computed

Always from tracked views, never from an estimate. A manager composes their grid from one or more of these rules:

The rate per 1,000 views

The baseline. At 1 € per 1,000 views, a clip at 128,400 views earns 128.40 €. The maths is continuous: it doesn't make you wait for the next 1,000-view step to credit the difference — unless the manager explicitly chooses payment in 1,000-view increments.

Tiers

The rate can climb with volume. A tiered grid looks like this:

Per-platform multiplier

A TikTok view and a YouTube view aren't necessarily worth the same to an advertiser. Managers can weight each platform — ×1 on TikTok, ×1.3 on YouTube, for instance.

Viral bonus

A fixed bonus, paid once per clip, when it crosses a milestone: 10 € at one million views, say. It adds to the per-1,000 rate, it doesn't replace it.

Threshold and budget

• Threshold — a clip can earn nothing below a certain number of views. Depending on the setting, crossing the threshold pays every view from the first one, or only those above the threshold.
• Budget — a campaign can be capped globally, per clipper, or per clip. The cap is visible in the app: you see what is left to distribute.
• Counting window — a manager can decide that a clip's views only count for X days after it is posted. After that, what was earned stays earned, but the counter stops climbing. The rule is stated in the grid, before you post.

Why our numbers can differ from the native app

We display what the official APIs of TikTok, Instagram and YouTube return. Those APIs have their own latency and their own rounding, so a counter may sit for a few hours slightly off from what you see inside the platform's own app. It's the same number converging — and it's the same source for you and for your manager, so never a disagreement about what is owed.

Where to use the app

• Android — on Google Play.
• iPhone — on the App Store, soon. Until then, the web app: "Add to Home Screen" gives it its own icon, like a real app.
• Desktop — the web app, nothing to install.
• Managers — the manager dashboard, in the browser.
