Create and review a private video clip
Trim a verified video, choose a centered crop and optionally add timed captions, then verify and review the private result before sharing.

Before you start
- Your own approved partner account, a confirmed agreement and reserved funding.
- A verified video original in the same agreement and permission to edit its content and audio.
- A training environment with both the renderer and independent file verifier qualified and enabled.
Follow the steps
Review your source
Open the agreement, Deliverables and review, then Private original files. Use Download verified original to inspect your video. Record its file reference and the desired start time and duration.
What you should see: You can inspect only your own verified original. Its private download link expires after 60 seconds; a downloaded copy remains on the receiving device.
Choose the clip settings
Select Create private clips and choose the verified source. Enter start and duration in seconds, with up to three decimal places. Duration must be 1–600 seconds and the range must fit the source. Choose Source shape, Vertical or Square and Keep audio or Mute.
What you should see: Vertical and square use a centered crop. This may cut off faces, products or existing text; automatic subject tracking and a visual editing timeline are not provided by this workflow.
Add and review optional captions
Under Optional captions, choose Add caption. Enter each caption's start, end and text in playback order; timing starts at zero in the new clip. Use 0.01-second steps and at least 0.25 seconds per caption, without overlaps or times beyond the clip duration. Use Remove caption to correct the list. Each caption allows three non-empty lines of up to 60 characters, with at most 120 captions and 12,000 UTF-8 text bytes in total.
What you should see: Captions are drawn permanently into the new video. They remain private with the job, and cannot be edited after queuing. This is manual text and timing, not automatic transcription or translation. Keep lines short and check spelling, accessibility, translation and required disclosures before rendering.
Queue the private render
Review your rights and settings, confirm them, then choose Queue private clip. Preserve the job reference and refresh to observe progress. An agreement allows up to 100 clip jobs, including failed or cancelled jobs, and up to 100 original-file records.
What you should see: The job progresses from waiting to rendering. Your source is unchanged. A new MP4 output is registered privately and must pass independent file verification.
Review the verified result
When the output is File verified, return to Private original files and download the new clip. Watch the complete clip and check crop, timing, audio, quality, rights and required disclosures. For captions, check every language's glyphs and direction, timing gaps, line wrapping, contrast and whether text covers important content. Review recorded captions on the job to compare exact text. If unsuitable, create a corrected job within the remaining quota.
What you should see: The output hash agrees with the renderer and independent verifier. Technical verification does not approve the creative work, verify the caption wording or establish publishing rights.
Share only the intended version
Open the delivery for the original's deliverable group, select the verified clip under Verified original files, classify it and explicitly submit the delivery. Follow Submit creator work and respond to review.
What you should see: Creating, verifying or downloading a clip alone does not share it with an advertiser, publish it to a social platform or create payable earnings.
Recover without duplicating uncertain work
Refresh the existing job before retrying. You may cancel a waiting or rendering job; reload if the worker changed its revision first. Preserve failed job and file references for operations. A completed render cannot be cancelled through this form.
What you should see: Cancellation leaves the source intact. A raced or abandoned output cannot become a valid attachment through the cancelled job. Operations investigates repeated failures without overwriting objects or labelling a pending file verified.
If something goes wrong
No video can be selected
Check source verification, ownership and supported video type. A queued file or image cannot be used as a video source. Confirm agreement funding and account approval.
Rendering fails or stays pending
Give operations the job reference, range and environment. The worker makes at most three attempts; invalid ranges, unavailable workers or resource limits can prevent completion. Do not repeatedly queue duplicates.
A clip is rendered but cannot be downloaded
Wait for independent file verification and inspect its recorded result. A hash mismatch or rejected scan is an incident to investigate, not a reason to bypass the verifier.
Captions are rejected, missing or difficult to read
Check ordered output-relative times, precision, text and byte limits. Shorten lines for narrow crops. Ask operations to confirm a caption-capable renderer and language fonts. Correct the text or timing in a new job; do not overwrite an existing output or force it verified.
Try it in training
Complete OPS-16 in training: create and watch source-shape, vertical and square clips with manual captions; check timing gaps, multilingual text, mute behavior, private access, cancellation and expired-lease recovery; then explicitly submit one verified clip through OPS-14. Run CAP-01–06 with the facilitator and record actual evidence and an independent reviewer. Unobserved checks remain open.
Check your understanding
Does a rendered clip automatically become advertiser-visible?
No. It remains private, requires independent verification and must be explicitly selected in a submitted delivery version.
