The money is real, and it moves fast.
The biggest deals pay the smallest rates.
You can’t negotiate the rate. What you control is what one clip costs you and how many shots on goal you take. That’s the whole business. The full breakdown
Every clip has a break-even. Make yours small.
20 minutes to find, cut, reframe and caption one clip, if your time is worth $10 an hour. Both are assumptions — swap in yours.
$19 for 30 hours of stream, at the ~12 clips an hour we actually return. Your time goes on picking, not cutting.
What an hour of someone else’s stream gives back.
Median across 128 link runs of 30 minutes or longer.
Median, job start to last clip rendered. Nine in ten inside 44 minutes.
Of 4,740 scored clips. The best clip in a typical run scores 82.
Half of all clips land between 26 and 57 seconds — Shorts, TikTok and Reels length.
6 in 10 of a long stream’s best moments start after the first hour.
That’s the stretch nobody reaches when they scrub a VOD by hand at midnight — and the reason to let the whole thing be read. Small sample: the top three clips from 16 VODs over 90 minutes that were processed whole.
Zoupyu production data to 14 September 2026, clips mode, YouTube and Twitch links only. Turnaround excludes queue wait. The viral score is our model’s prediction of clip strength, not views achieved.
The reasons clips get rejected — and which ones we fix.
No watermark on any plan, free included.
Every clip is reframed to 9:16 around the subject, with word-timed captions burned in. Edited output, not a mirror — the creative angle is still yours.
Moments are pulled from the whole stretch you pick — including the hours of a VOD nobody scrubs.
Paid packs go ahead of new free jobs in the queue, and an hour of stream comes back in about 30 minutes.
Not ours to fix. We make the clips — we don’t post or submit them for you.
Clip inside a campaign brief. That is your permission, and it is yours to check.

Run your own campaign math
Set it to the streams you clip and the rate on your brief. One credit clips an hour; the clip count uses what we actually return, not what we aim for.
The last two are your numbers — we only do the arithmetic on them. Campaigns advertise $0.20–$6 per 1,000 views, about $1.00 typically.
At your numbers the pack pays for itself after 19 clips — roughly 2 days in.
When a credit is a minute of source video, your 25 videos cost 1,500 credits — length is what you pay for, not output.
The usual top tier ($29/mo) includes 300 minutes. This workload needs custom pricing — you'd pay $19 with us.
Those plans are monthly and their credits typically expire after 60 days; ours are one-time and never expire, so anything left over rolls into next month. Figures are the published pricing of the leading per-minute clipper, checked 2026-07-29.
Your clipping week, with Zoupyu in it.
A brief drops
Copy the stream or video link straight from the campaign. No three-hour download, no re-upload — paste a YouTube video or a Twitch VOD, or a Drive link.
Pick the hour
Anything past an hour opens a picker with suggested stretches and the stream’s own category changes marked, so credits land on the part worth mining.
Review, don’t scrub
About 30 minutes later the clips arrive ranked by viral score, captions burned in, a streamer’s facecam kept in frame. Post from the top of the list.
Post, submit, repeat
Clean 1080×1920 MP4s, nothing stamped on them. Post, submit the links to the campaign, and the rest of the list is tomorrow’s queue. Credits never expire, so a quiet week costs nothing.
We are a VOD tool. Live streams are turned away until the VOD is up — if a campaign is won in the first 90 seconds of a moment airing, that race needs a live clipper.
Clipper questions
A streamer, creator or brand funds a pool and sets a rate per 1,000 views. Clippers cut short clips from their content, post them on their own accounts, and submit the links. Approved clips earn against verified views until the pool runs out. Whop Content Rewards and Vyro are the best-known marketplaces; some streamers also pay clippers directly.
Yes — that is the normal clipper workflow, and it is why Zoupyu takes links rather than assuming you own the file. Paste a YouTube video or a Twitch VOD. You are responsible for having the right to use the footage: a campaign brief grants it for that content, and a public VOD on its own does not.
YouTube videos, Twitch VODs and Google Drive links, or upload the file. A stream that is still live is turned away up front — paste the VOD once the stream has ended. Anything longer than an hour opens a picker so you choose which stretch to spend credits on.
For a one-hour stretch the median in our production data is about 30 minutes from the job starting to the last clip rendered, and nine in ten finish inside 44. That excludes any time waiting in the queue, where paid packs go ahead of new free jobs. We are a VOD tool — live clipping services that post within seconds are a different game.
A credit clips an hour of the stretch you pick. A one-hour run asks for up to 18 clips; the median that actually comes back from an hour or more of YouTube or Twitch footage is about 12. Every clip is scored, and 68% of clips from link sources score 70 or above.
No, and nothing honestly can. It is our model’s read of the hook, the arc and the payoff of each clip — a way to decide what to post first, not a forecast. Clipping payouts are top-heavy, so judge your results over fifty clips, not five.
Three credits with no card. Each clips up to 20 minutes and returns up to 9 clips. You can preview every clip and download one per video in full HD with no watermark. Unlock a single video for $2.99, or buy any pack to unlock every clip and raise each credit to a full hour.
No. Zoupyu finds, cuts, reframes and captions the clips; posting them and submitting links to a campaign stay with you and your accounts. We are not affiliated with Whop, Vyro or any campaign.
