<![CDATA[The development of short-form video platforms on social media has given rise to clipping practices, in whict individual select, edit, and redistribute segments of others’ content as both creative activity and a source of economis value. This study aims to understand clipping practices on TikTok across five dimensions: clipper identity formation, content production and distribution practices, monetization mechanisms, working conditions, and perceptions of content ownership. The study employs an interpretative paradigm with a qualitative approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with seven clippers from diverse backgrounds and work arrangements, and were analyzed using thematic analysis.
