Process
From raw footage to disclosed distribution.
Seven stages. Every clip passes through every one - no shortcuts, no exceptions. You approve before anything ships. New to the model? Start with our guide to what content clipping is and how creator distribution works.
Editorial Intake
You provide access to existing footage - recorded events, interview archives, livestream recordings, broadcast tapes. We catalog every source by topic, format, and moment so the editorial team knows exactly what it has to work with.
Clip Selection
Editors identify the highest-impact segments: positions stated clearly, contrast moments, audience exchanges, personality and voice. Each selected moment is mapped to a strategic goal - name ID, persuasion, recruiting, or turnout - so nothing is cut without purpose.
Production
Selected moments are cut into platform-native short-form clips. Vertical for TikTok and Reels, square for feeds, widescreen for YouTube. Text overlays, pacing, and hooks are built to match how each platform actually serves content - not a one-size resize.
Client Approval Gate
Nothing ships without sign-off. Every clip is reviewed and approved by the client before it enters the distribution queue. Edits, pulls, and holds happen here - the client retains full control over what the public sees. This gate exists in every workflow, for every clip, without exception.
Network Activation
Approved clips are distributed across the American Clipping network - real accounts, creators, and editors on every major short-form platform. Each placement carries the required “Paid for by” disclaimer and any platform-specific sponsorship labels before it goes live.
Live Measurement
Views, reach, engagement, and spend are tracked in real time across every placement. You have visibility into what is running, where, and how it is performing - not after the fact, but while clips are live.
Weekly Reporting & Optimization
Every seven days, a comprehensive report is delivered: clips shipped, total views, reach, engagement by platform, blended CPM, and a complete log of every sponsored placement with disclaimer records. The editorial team adjusts the next week’s clip selection based on what performed.
Turnaround
First clips live within days of editorial intake.
