X has introduced a video clipping tool that lets both original creators and people posting clips earn rewards when enrolled in its Original Content Rewards program, Mashable reported. The tool is live on iOS and Android, with web access planned.

Users can trim prerecorded videos through the repost menu and add commentary. Each clip links to its starting point in the original video. Eligible source videos must be at least two minutes long; clips can run from five to 60 seconds, or up to 30 percent of the original.

X's clipping rules do not list a flat payment rate. Creators cannot yet opt out of clipping; X says it is working on that control.
