Approved
The clip met the brief. It starts accruing on verified views from the public count on your own post, and it pays on the schedule published in that campaign's brief.
Four promises
small enough to keep
The standard in VALORAE Cast is four promises written as behaviour: payouts go out on schedule, view counts are public, every rejection carries a reason, and every rate is published first.

The standard
The four promises, written as behaviour
Clipping pays well and is run badly almost everywhere. Payouts land late. View counts come from the people who owe the money. Rejections arrive with no reason. These four are the fix, and they are written as behaviour so you can hold us to them.
Pay first, explain later
The payout goes out on schedule even when the reconciliation is messy. Disputes get resolved after the money has moved, not before.
Counts in the open
Every view number you are paid on is one you can independently verify. No internal dashboard nobody else can see.
A rejection comes with a reason
Never a bare no. What failed, what would pass, and whether it is worth re cutting rather than starting over.
Say the number
Rates, caps, minimums and timelines are published before anyone cuts a frame. If a rate is unknown, we say it is unknown.
What comes back
A submission lands in one of three states
Every clip you submit gets one of these, and each one comes with the reason attached. The colours below are the same ones used on the submission in the server, so what you read here is what you will see there.
On hold
Something needs checking before it can accrue. Usually the view count is still settling or an asset needs confirming with the client. A hold is told to you as a hold, with what is being checked and roughly how long.
Rejected
The clip did not meet the brief. You get told what failed, what would pass, and whether it is worth re cutting the same footage rather than starting over. Never a bare no.
Payouts
How the money actually moves
Written plainly, including the part that is not finished yet.
- 01
Views accrue on the public number
Earnings are calculated from the view count showing on your own post. You can open the post and check the figure yourself before anything is paid. There is no internal dashboard that only staff can see.
- 02
The minimum is real
Below 1,000 views a clip pays nothing. The floor exists so the count is worth verifying at all. Above it, every thousand views pays the published rate up to the cap.
- 03
The cap is per clip, not per campaign
One clip stops earning at $300, which lands at 375,000 views on the current rate. Your next clip starts again at zero. Nothing about the cap limits how many clips you submit.
- 04
Payout runs on the campaign's own schedule
The date is published in that campaign's brief before you cut anything. Proof of each payout goes in the public payout channel where every member can see it.
The honest part. Zero clips have been paid through Cast so far, so the payout path has been built and not yet exercised at volume. That is why the schedule lives in each campaign brief rather than as a sitewide promise. When a date is uncertain we say it is uncertain instead of inventing one.
Questions
Every question, answered plainly
Do I need a following to start?
No. You post on your own accounts and get paid on the views the clip gets, not on the audience you brought. Plenty of clippers start from a new account.
What does it cost to join?
Nothing. Verifying, picking a track, taking a campaign and getting paid all cost nothing, and there is no course. The one thing with a price on it is the Elite floor, which is a monthly subscription and is optional. Everything the server was built to do works without it.
When do payouts go out?
On the schedule published in the campaign brief, with proof posted in the public payout channel. If a date is ever uncertain we say it is uncertain rather than inventing one.
How are views verified?
From the public view count on your own post. You can open the post and check the number yourself, which is the point. There is no internal dashboard that only staff can see.
Why is a clip rejected?
Usually the brief was missed on a specific point, for example an asset placed wrong or the wrong source footage. You get told what failed, what would pass, and whether it is worth re cutting.
Can I use the same clip for two campaigns?
No. A clip is submitted against one campaign. Cutting the same footage differently for a different campaign is fine.
What editing software do I need?
Whatever you already use. Most people in the server edit on CapCut on a phone. The resources channel carries free packs, presets and templates, and the war room is where people post an export and ask what is wrong with it.
Is $0.80 per 1,000 views good?
It is a starting rate, and it sits at the lower end of what public clipping campaigns advertise. WinGram is the campaign that is signed and live, so it is the rate that is published. When a higher one is confirmed it goes up here.

Read the standard, then decide
Nothing on the other side of the door asks you for money. The rate, the minimum and the cap are all published before you cut a frame.
