Video Game Clipping Campaigns: How to Get Paid to Clip Games

Video game clipping means cutting short videos from game trailers or gameplay and getting paid for every 1,000 views. On November 12, 2026, Content Rewards listed 62 live campaigns tied to video games, with more than $350,000 in budgets. The top publisher rate was $4.00 per 1,000 views, on the World of Warcraft Forever campaigns.

Game studios pay for clips most around a launch or a new trailer. Here is what is open now, what it pays, and how to get in.

Which video game clipping campaigns are live?

These are the biggest game campaigns on November 12, 2026. CPM means cost per 1,000 views.

Call of Duty. Six campaigns for Warzone Season 1, Modern Warfare 4 and DMZ. Warzone Season 1 alone listed $40,000. Rates, caps and the best one to join are in our Call of Duty clipping guide.

SEGA Football Manager 27. The main trailer campaign listed $20,000 and opened on November 10, 2026. A Spanish version listed $4,000 and asks for Spanish captions.

SEGA Metaphor: ReFantazio. The trailer campaign listed $12,000 and opened on November 12, 2026. It had paid out $0 so far, so the whole budget was still open.

Blizzard World of Warcraft Forever. Four campaigns of $8,000 each, one per region: UK, France, Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and the Nordics.

GTA 6. One music campaign asks for GTA 6 themed clips ahead of the November 19 launch. See GTA 6 clipping.

Clipping Culture, a verified organization, listed the SEGA, Blizzard and English Call of Duty campaigns.

What do game clipping campaigns pay?

Here is what the main campaign pages listed:

• World of Warcraft Forever: $4.00 per 1,000 views on TikTok and YouTube, up to $500 per clip. Only views from that campaign's region count.
• Football Manager 27 and Metaphor: ReFantazio: $2.00 on TikTok and YouTube and $1.50 on Instagram, up to $800 per clip. Views from Pakistan, India and Bangladesh pay $0.
• Call of Duty Warzone Season 1: $2.00 on TikTok and $1.50 on Instagram, up to $1,000 per clip.

To work out pay, divide views by 1,000 and multiply by the rate. A Football Manager clip with 100,000 TikTok views earns $200.

Content Rewards takes a 10% fee from each CPM payout, so that $200 clip pays you $180 (how payout fees work).

For context, clipping-only gaming campaigns had a median of $1.125 per 1,000 views on November 10, 2026, across 18 campaigns (highest-paying clipping niches). The big publisher campaigns pay above that.

What about indie and mobile games?

Smaller studios run campaigns too. Their budgets are smaller, and some pay more per view:

• Spacetime Chronicles demo: $20.00 per 1,000 views for clips of the Steam demo. You apply first and need the game.
• Eneba: $2.50 per 1,000 views for videos that send gamers to its game store.
• Animal Valley: $1.50 per 1,000 views for a mobile merge game.
• BATTLE BEARS GOLD: $1.00 per 1,000 views for a game that launched on Steam, iOS and Google Play on November 11.

Roblox, Fortnite map and Minecraft server campaigns are another big group. They mostly pay $0.60 to $2.00 per 1,000 views.

How does a game trailer campaign work?

The studio gives you the footage. Each SEGA and Blizzard brief links a content folder with trailers, gameplay and other video files. You cut short clips from those files and post them.

1. Open the campaign page and join. The SEGA, Blizzard and Call of Duty trailer campaigns need no application.
2. Download the official footage from the content folder.
3. Cut a short clip with a strong first second. Show the best moment, a character or a big reveal.
4. Post it on TikTok, Instagram or YouTube Shorts from an account you connected.
5. Put a clear ad disclosure at the start, then submit the clip within 30 minutes of posting.

The submit and disclosure rules come from our guide to earning more. The brand reviews each clip against the brief before it pays.

Use only the footage the brief allows. If you're not sure what you can use, read is clipping legal?

Which game campaign should you pick?

Pick by where your viewers live and what you already play.

• Your audience is in the UK, France, Germany or the Nordics: the World of Warcraft campaign for your region pays the most per view.
• You post in English to a wide audience: Football Manager 27, Metaphor: ReFantazio and Call of Duty pay $2.00 on TikTok.
• You post in Spanish: the Football Manager 27 Spanish campaign.
• You already play an indie game: smaller campaigns have fewer clippers, so your clips face less competition.

How do game publishers run trailer clipping?

Publishers fund a campaign, upload trailers to a content folder, and pay clippers per 1,000 views. They set a rate per app, a cap per clip and a minimum payout.

The campaigns above show the main controls:

• Region rates. World of Warcraft pays only for views in one region. SEGA pays $0 for views from some countries.
• Language versions. Football Manager 27 has a Spanish campaign. Call of Duty has Arabic and French ones.
• Per clip caps. A cap stops one viral clip from using the whole budget.

Campaigns start at $1,000, and brands review every clip before it is paid. To run one for your game, launch a campaign. For budget help, see how to run a clipping campaign.
