Submitting clips
Post a clip from a verified account and submit its link to a bounty. Covers batch submissions, every automatic check, and what to do when a link is rejected.
Updated 3 min read
You post clips on your own accounts, then submit the post links to a bounty. Each link is checked the moment you paste it, so you know right away whether it will be accepted.
Before you post
- Verify the account you'll post from. Links from pending accounts are rejected. See Social accounts.
- Add the campaign's payout method. Each campaign pays with one method, and you can't submit without it.
- Read the brief for the bounty, and download the source files from Assets.
- Check the post window. Many campaigns need the link submitted within a set time of posting, such as 72 hours.
Submit your links
Open the Submit tab
On the campaign page, choose Submit clip and pick the bounty, or open the bounty and go to its Submit tab.
Paste your links
Paste one link, or up to 25, one per line, into Links. TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and X links all work, and duplicates are removed for you. Posting from lists your linked accounts and whether each is verified.
Add anything the campaign asks for
Some campaigns ask you to pick a Special tag, and some bounties need a short note on every clip.
Review the checks
Each link gets a row under Checks. A link that passes says Ready. A link that fails shows what's wrong in red; fix it or remove it.

Submit
Choose Submit 1 clip (or however many are ready). Each clip is checked again as it's sent, then tracking starts.
Send links to several bounties at once
Turn on Set a bounty per link to pick a bounty for each link. In this mode, tick the box confirming you've read the brief for each bounty and your clips follow its rules before you submit; the confirmation is saved with each clip.
What each link is checked for
| Check | What it looks for |
|---|---|
| Platform | The link is from TikTok, Instagram, YouTube or X, and the campaign takes that platform |
| Account | The post is from one of your linked accounts, the account is verified, its category is accepted, and it's approved if the campaign needs approval |
| Post window | The post is inside the campaign's post window and wasn't posted before the campaign started counting clips |
| Duplicate | The post hasn't already been submitted to this campaign, or to another campaign that doesn't accept duplicates |
| Bounty | The bounty is live: not capped, ended or not yet open |
| Rules | The clip is a video, uses any required sound and caption tag, carries a note if one is required, and you're within the campaign's account limit |
Fix the common messages
"@name isn't one of your accounts": Link and verify that account first, or check you copied the right post.
"@name is still pending verification": Finish the bio code check. Choose Verify next to the message.
"Posted 4d ago, outside the 72h window": The post is too old for this campaign. Post a new clip and submit it sooner.
"Already submitted to this campaign": Each post can only be submitted once per campaign.
"Doesn't use the campaign's required sound": Repost the clip with the campaign's sound.
"You've reached this campaign's limit of 2 TikTok accounts. Submit from an account you've already used here.": Use an account you've already posted from in this campaign.
When you can't submit at all
If the Submit tab says Clips can't be submitted yet, something applies to the whole campaign:
This campaign pays out by PayPal. Add it in Payments, even if you already have another method saved.
Open Payments- The campaign isn't running, is paused, isn't accepting uploads or has used its full budget.
- None of its bounties are open.
- The campaign is invite-only and you haven't been approved. Choose Join Discord to apply.
- You're missing the campaign's payout method. Choose Open Payments and add it, even if you already have another method saved.
- Your clipper profile isn't set up. Choose Open Settings.
- The campaign needs a special tag and you haven't picked one.
- You're banned from the campaign or from CLIPPING.
If you think a rejection is a mistake, reach out in Discord.
After you submit
Accepted clips start tracking straight away and appear under Clips. See Tracking and clip status.
