The clipping agency of record · industrial-grade content distribution for serious creators
Each desk is run by a specialist editor. Work flows between them on a single ticket so your clip never sits, your account never goes cold, and your analytics never lie.
Editorial unit · 22 editors
We watch your long-form, decide what's punchy, and cut it. Hooks rewritten, captions tested, vertical reframed, subtitles burned. Each clip is reviewed by a senior editor before it leaves the building.
Operations unit · proprietary playbook
New accounts? Old accounts? Burned accounts? We run the warm-up like a chef tempering chocolate. Residential IPs, organic activity windows, staged content density, platform-specific tells. No spray. No farming. No bans.
Posting unit · multi-platform
600+ warmed accounts in rotation. Time-zone aware schedule. Platform-native upload — not a cross-poster — with descriptions, music, hashtag audits, and first-comment hooks tuned per surface.
Data unit · client portal
Every clip tracked from cut to view. We tell you which hook pulled, which account performed, which platform paid off, and which clip should be re-cut. Weekly desk memo. Monthly editorial review.
Six anonymised client cases. Numbers verified by our analytics bench, redacted by request.
Network of 40 warmed accounts, 120 clips/mo. Zero bans across the warm-up period.
Built distribution from cold. Inbound demos +212% same quarter.
Game tape and pressers cut into 180 clips. Two clips broke 5M each.
Course revenue. Distribution tied to lead-gen funnel.
Twitch VODs re-clipped & cross-posted. 6.2K new Twitch follows attributed.
Talks, interviews, panels cut and synchronised to release. #1 in category.
Quick, honest, no email gate. Adjust the dials, watch the desk-projected output update.
Five stages. Two reviews. One ticket. The same shape every week. Below, the long version.
You drop source files into the locker. RSS, Drive, Dropbox, Frame, Riverside, S3 — the desk doesn't care. Brand brief, voice notes, do-not-clip rules attached on day one.
An account manager (a real one, with a phone number) reads every brief. We map your roster against our warmed-account network and assign platform priority. If you don't have a roster yet, we build one.
DAY 0–1Editors pick the moments. Not by AI vibes — by people who watch hours of your tape and study your audience.
Every clip gets two hook variants. Every clip gets a thumb. Every clip gets reframed for vertical with proper headroom, not just a center crop. Subtitles burn in your branded style. Senior editor signs off.
DAY 1–3Cold accounts run our 14–30 day staged playbook. Real engagement, real device prints, real time-of-day patterns. Every account graduates a checklist before it posts a single clip.
Already-warm accounts skip ahead but get a daily ban-risk score. If a platform is twitching, we ease density. Nobody on this desk has been temp-banned this quarter.
DAY 1–30 (PARALLEL)Native uploads from real devices on the warmed network. Geo-aware schedule. Surface-specific captions. We never repost a clip into the same audience twice.
The de-dup matrix tracks which clip touched which audience. The sound desk pairs trending audio per platform. First-comment hooks queued automatically.
DAY 4→∞Dashboards refresh every 15 minutes. We watch which hooks pulled, which accounts carried, which clips deserve re-cuts.
Weekly desk memo on Monday. Monthly editorial review with the creator. Quarterly strategy reset. The Friday log shows every post, every account, every dollar.
CONTINUOUSIf you make it, we can clip it. If you're talking, posting, performing, recording, broadcasting — we have a desk pattern for it.
Long-form audio & video. Two-mic, four-mic, live, async.
Talks, interviews, internal town halls, board prep, keynotes.
Game tape, training, behind-the-scenes, post-game pressers.
Twitch & Kick VODs — clipped, captioned, re-platformed.
Course videos, webinars, masterminds — lead-gen optimised.
Studio sessions, behind-the-scenes, performance reels.
Tours, panels, interviews — book-launch synchronised.
Campaigns, web series, scripted — long format to short.
All plans are month-to-month. All plans include the analytics bench. The desk does not believe in surprise invoices.
All plans include onboarding (1 week), creative direction, and the analytics bench. No setup fee. No long contracts. Cancel with one email.
If we miss your contracted output volume in your first 30 days — for any reason that isn't on you — the next month is on us. We've never had to invoke it. We expect we never will.
"I tried four other clipping agencies. None of them understood that the warm-up is the entire game. DistroEngine is the only one who treated it like a craft."
"The desk memo on Monday morning is the single most useful document we receive. It's like having an editorial board for our content output."
"From 80k a month to 14M without a single ban. The clip desk is just better than ours was."
"They cut our keynote into 36 clips. Twelve of them outperformed the original talk. Two of them are still pulling six months later."
Completely different. Bot networks fail platform fingerprinting in days. Our operators run sessions on real mobile devices, on residential IPs, with human-paced viewing, saves, and follows. Each account graduates a checklist before it posts a single clip. Read more in our operations manual or ask the desk for a sample warm-up log.
Sometimes. We run a 5-day diagnostic and tell you whether it's recoverable, whether it needs a long re-warm, or whether you should sunset it and start fresh. We do not charge for the diagnostic.
No serious operator should. We guarantee output volume, editorial quality, network warm-up integrity, and reporting cadence. Views are a function of source quality plus distribution, and we'll tell you on day 1 what we think your ceiling is.
You do. Always. Even the ones we warmed for you. If you leave the desk, you take the network. We hand over credentials, the warm-up log, and a portable analytics export.
Onboarding is one week. First clips ship in days 4–6. The warm-up of any cold accounts runs in parallel and graduates over weeks 1–4. By week 5 you're at full posting velocity.
We have editors who specialise in compliant clipping for regulated verticals. Disclaimers burned in, claim-language scrubbed, brand-safety reviewed. Ask for the regulated-vertical addendum during intake.
No call decks. No demo mazes. Real editors read every intake form personally and reply within one business day.
