Tweeting all day on X? This is the tool you must know
X launches a built-in Clipping tool for cutting segments from long videos directly in the app, with financial rewards for both the original creator and the sharer. The tool is available on Android and iPhone.
Platform X (formerly Twitter) is launching a new built-in tool called Clipping, allowing users to cut short segments from long videos directly within the app, without the need for external editing. The tool supports recorded videos at least two minutes long and limits clip length to 5-60 seconds, with the cut segment not exceeding 30% of the original video length. Each clip automatically receives a label with credit to the original creator and an exact timestamp. The key innovation is a dual economic model: both the original creator and the user who cut the clip earn from views. The tool is available on mobile apps for Android and iPhone, with a desktop browser version expected later. The move aligns with Elon Musk's vision to turn X into a direct competitor to YouTube and TikTok.
