ClipStudios Creator Circle

      Make AI video with ClipStudios, share it with your audience, and get comped credits plus a first-month discount code for your followers. It's a capped pilot for creators based in the EU, UK, EEA and Switzerland — credit-first, reviewed by a human, and free to apply to.

      Apply to the Creator Circle

      No application fee. No cash payouts at launch. Seats are limited.

      Applications go through our contact form for now. Put Creator Circle in the message and include your social handles, a couple of links to recent work, and the country you're based in.

      How it works

      Seven steps, from application to your first credit grant.

      1. 1Apply with your social handles. Tell us where you post and what you make, and send it over with your handles and a couple of links to recent work. No fee, no follower minimum.
      2. 2A human reviews it. We check that you are based in the EU, UK, EEA or Switzerland, and that your audience is a genuine fit for AI video. Handles and follower counts you share are self-reported, so review is manual by design.
      3. 3Get a seat in the capped cohort. Seats are limited and we open them in small batches. If yours is accepted you get your unique discount code for your audience.
      4. 4Make one qualifying video and post it. Generate it in ClipStudios on your free-tier credits, post it publicly on your own channel, and put your code in the caption.
      5. 5Submit it to the showcase. Submit the video from your ClipStudios gallery and include the link to the public post. A reviewer approves the ClipStudios-generated video and the public link together.
      6. 6Get your creator credit tier. Once approved, your entry tier of comped credits lands on your account.
      7. 7Climb the ladder with paid conversions. When people use your code and subscribe on a monthly plan, you move up a tier and get the next credit grant.

      Who it's for

      EU, UK, EEA and Swiss creators working in AI video — audience fit over raw follower count.

      ClipStudios is hosted in the EU, and this pilot is scoped to the regions we already serve: the 27 EU member states, the United Kingdom, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway, and Switzerland. Residence is checked against the country on your ClipStudios account before you're accepted.

      Beyond that, we're looking for people whose audience actually cares about AI video — filmmakers, motion designers, marketers, educators and short-form creators who publish regularly. There is no follower minimum. A 4,000-follower channel where people watch to the end and ask how a shot was made is worth more to this program than a much larger account with no overlap. Anything you tell us about your reach is self-reported and we treat it as context for review, not as a score: every accepted creator starts on the same entry tier.

      The perks

      A credit ladder you climb by driving paid conversions, plus a discount code your audience can actually use.

      Every tier is a monthly comped credit allowance on your ClipStudios account — spendable across every studio and every model, on the same terms as a paid plan. You start at Seed on acceptance and move up as people who use your code subscribe on a monthly plan.

      TierMonthly creditsHow you reach it
      Seed100 CS creditsAccepted into the cohort with one approved qualifying post.
      Growth250 CS creditsYour code converts a first handful of paid monthly subscribers.
      Core500 CS creditsYour code keeps converting paid subscribers month over month.
      Ambassador1,000 CS creditsTop of the ladder — sustained paid conversions from your audience.

      Alongside the credits you get a unique discount code for your audience. It takes a percentage off their first month on a monthly ClipStudios plan — a genuine reason for them to try it, not a tracking link. Exact tier thresholds are shared when you're accepted and are reviewed as the pilot runs.

      Requirements and rules

      Short list, and we'd rather be plain about the limits up front.

      • Capped cohort. Only a limited number of creator seats exist, released in small batches. A strong application may be held for the next batch rather than rejected.
      • EU, UK, EEA or Switzerland. Checked against the country on your ClipStudios account.
      • One qualifying post to enter. A ClipStudios-generated video, posted publicly with your code, submitted to the showcase with the link and approved by a reviewer.
      • A light monthly cadence to stay active. Roughly one ClipStudios video a month. Go quiet and we may free your seat — credits already granted stay yours.
      • No cash payouts at launch. The program is credit-first. No commissions, no per-sale cut, no per-view payments.
      • No application fee. Applying is free, and joining is free.
      • Disclose the partnership. Follow your platform's rules on marking sponsored or incentivised content, and our content guidelines apply to anything you make.

      FAQ

      Do I get paid in cash?
      No. The Creator Circle is credit-first: you get comped ClipStudios credits and a discount code for your audience. There are no cash payouts and no commissions at launch — your code discounts your audience's first month, it doesn't pay you a cut of it.
      Does it cost anything to apply?
      No. There is no application fee and never will be one. If anyone asks you to pay to join a ClipStudios creator program, it is not us.
      How many followers do I need?
      There is no follower minimum. We read your handles and your recent work during review, and audience fit matters more than raw follower count. Follower numbers you share are self-reported — we use them for context, not to decide how many credits you get. Every accepted creator starts on the same entry tier.
      Why is the program EU, UK, EEA and Switzerland only?
      ClipStudios is an EU-hosted product and the pilot is scoped to the regions we already serve, so residence is checked against the country on your account before you are accepted. We may widen it after the pilot.
      What counts as a qualifying post?
      One video generated in ClipStudios, posted publicly on your own channel, with your unique code visible in the caption or description. You then submit that video to the ClipStudios showcase together with the link to the public post, so a reviewer can approve both halves at once.
      Can I use my free-tier credits for the qualifying post?
      Yes — that is what they are there for. You make your qualifying video on the free plan, and your creator credit tier is granted once the post is approved.
      What does my discount code do?
      It gives your audience a discount on their first month of a monthly ClipStudios plan. It applies to that first payment only, it does not work on annual plans, and it does not pay you a commission on renewals.
      How do I move up a tier?
      Tiers advance on paid conversions — people who use your code and actually subscribe on a monthly plan. Clicks, views and free signups do not count. We share the exact thresholds when you are accepted, and they are reviewed as the pilot runs.
      What happens if I stop posting?
      Seats are capped, so staying in the cohort means keeping a light posting cadence — roughly one ClipStudios video a month. If you go quiet we may free your seat for someone on the waiting list. Credits already granted are yours to keep.
      How long does review take?
      Every application is read by a human, so it is not instant. Because the cohort is capped, we may hold strong applications for the next batch of seats rather than reject them.
