X launches native video clipping with dual creator rewards
X has rolled out a native clipping feature on iOS and Android that lets users extract and repost 5- to 60-second moments from videos while splitting potential monetization between clippers and original creators.
X has introduced a native clipping tool that enables users to grab a moment from a video, add their own commentary, and share it directly without leaving the app, according to reports from Degen News and Polymarket. The feature is currently supported on the platform's iOS and Android apps, though it is not yet available on the web version.[4][6][1][2][3]
Clips can range from 5 to 60 seconds in length and automatically attribute the source through a "Clip from" tag that links directly back to the exact timestamp in the full video. Users who clip videos and the original creators can both earn revenue through Original Content Rewards, provided they are eligible.[4][3][5]
Under the new system, deleting an original video automatically removes all clips generated from it. While creators currently lack an option to disable clipping on their content, a toggle setting is in development.[3]

X now supports clipping on iOS and Anroid! This feature works like the "post video" feature that credits the original author, while giving creators a new way to highlight their takes. This one I would test for sure 👀 https://t.co/dHJnMPUROk

X launched CLIPPING, and this could be huge for both creators and people who find the best moments buried inside long videos. You can now grab a 5 to 60-second moment from someone else’s video, add your own commentary and post it directly to your audience. The original creator stays credited through a “Clip from” tag linking back to the exact moment in the full video. BOTH sides can make money. If eligible for Original Content Rewards, the person posting the clip can earn from their post while the original creator can also earn when other people clip their content. One great long-form video can now produce dozens of shareable moments across X, while still sending attention and revenue back to the person who made it. This is a REALLY smart feature.
