Can I clip from my phone?

Yes. A lot of clippers work only from a phone, and the dashboard is built for it.

The phone only workflow

1. 1Open the campaign on your dashboard and download or save the source footage. If it is a link to a long video, save it to your phone or open it in the editor directly.
2. 2Watch it at 1.5x or 2x and write down timestamps of the good moments in your notes app.
3. 3Open CapCut, import the video, trim to a moment, crop to 9:16, turn on auto captions, fix any wrong words, export without a watermark.
4. 4Post the file to TikTok, then Instagram Reels, then YouTube Shorts.
5. 5Copy each post's link and paste it into the campaign on your dashboard.

Step three is 10 to 15 minutes per clip once you have done it a few times.

What is harder on a phone

Long source files. A three hour podcast is a big file. Scrubbing through it on a phone is slow and your storage fills up. Some clippers watch the source on a laptop or TV, note timestamps, and only pull the needed minutes into the phone.

Cutting many clips from one source. On a computer you can mark twenty moments and export them all. On a phone it is one at a time. At three or four clips a day this does not matter. At fifteen it does.

Small things that help

• Keep a notes file per campaign with the required hashtags and the caption format, so you paste instead of retyping.
• Export at 1080p. The apps compress anyway, and higher settings just take longer.
• Turn off the editor's default outro and watermark in its settings once, so every export is clean.
• Post, then submit the link straight away. The first view count is read the moment you submit.

The dashboard on a phone

Everything works from the browser on a phone: the campaign board, applying, submitting links, watching views climb, disputes and payouts. Verifying an account means pasting a code into your bio, which is easiest from the app you are verifying.
