MrBeast launches Vyro, a video clipping platform
Vyro pays users to turn long-form videos from brands into short clips shared across social media

YouTube’s biggest creator, MrBeast, has launched Vyro, a new video clipping platform that connects editors, known as “clippers,” with major creators and brands. The platform creates a marketplace where long-form content can be turned into viral short-form clips for platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.
Vyro positions itself as a bridge between creators with massive back catalogs and editors who can transform that footage into short, shareable videos. Each campaign lets creators or brands post the kind of clips they need, while users browse, create, and upload matching content to their own social channels.
MrBeast, who is also known for large-scale philanthropic projects such as funding clean water access initiatives in several countries, appears to be extending his collaborative approach into the creator economy through Vyro.
How Vyro’s model works
Clippers start by creating a free account on Vyro.com and linking a payment method such as PayPal, a bank account, or a cryptocurrency wallet. Once approved, they can find campaigns from brands and creators. Each campaign specifies clip requirements, payout details, and the type of audience the content is meant for.
For instance, a clipper might take a 30-minute YouTube video and cut it into several 15-to-30-second segments. These short clips are then posted directly to the clipper’s social accounts. Vyro tracks performance across social platforms and pays the clipper based on the total number of views their posts receive.
How clippers earn from Vyro
Clippers get paid based on the total number of views their clips receive, not on their follower count or channel size. It’s a model that contrasts with the YouTube Partner Program or TikTok’s Creator Fund, which require significant audience thresholds to qualify for monetization.
Vyro’s earning model reportedly pays $3 per 1,000 views (a $3 CPM), capped at $1,000 per post, with a minimum of 1,000 views required for payment. In comparison, YouTube’s Partner Program pays between $0.50 and $2 per 1,000 views, depending on ad engagement and watch time.
A new $300,000 Fan Rewards Pool
Vyro is currently running a $300,000 reward pool for fans clipping Beast Games Season 2 content on its platform. The company confirmed the promotion in a video post on X featuring MrBeast explaining the reward structure. According to him, “We’re paying Clippers over $100,000 for this season.”
Fans who have registered on the Vyro platform can browse episodes of Beast Games Season 2 and create short clips from the content. Each clip is tracked based on how many views it receives on the platform.
The reward system works in two main ways. First, there is a total pool of $300,000 that will be shared among fans who create clips. The amount each fan earns depends on the engagement their clips generate. Second, for every episode, the single clip that receives the most views can earn an additional $5,000 prize. This means fans who focus on creating clips likely to attract attention could earn higher rewards.
As fans upload more clips and audiences interact with them, the platform keeps a running tally of views, allowing users to see how their clips are performing.Â
A response to the short-form boom
Vyro enters the market at a time when short-form video continues to outpace long-form viewing. Data from multiple analytics firms shows that platforms like TikTok and YouTube Shorts have seen double-digit growth in viewership, particularly among Gen Z and younger millennials.
For instance, according to Ampere Analysis, more than 60% of the global online population now watches short-form videos daily on TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels. The firm also found that 73% of 18- to 24-year-olds—a key Gen Z demographic—engage with short-form content daily. MrBeast’s YouTube Shorts has also surpassed his long-form content in total views.
This highlights a shift in viewer attention, but the surge isn’t just about time spent. A report from NetInfluencer showed a 71% year-over-year increase in short-form video posts across social media platforms. The trend highlights how creators and marketers are shifting their focus toward formats that capture fast, high-frequency engagement.
Brands have also been looking for new ways to keep up with this shift, especially as maintaining an always-active social presence requires consistent output. Vyro’s approach taps directly into that need.
Vyro also represents a potential new channel in the creator economy. Brands can create campaigns on Vyro and let a network of clippers generate short-form versions of their content instead of investing directly in influencer campaigns or hiring video editors. The clips could reach new audiences through the clippers’ own social pages, expanding organic reach without traditional ad buys.
It also signals a growing focus on performance-based creator marketing, where payments are tied to measurable metrics like views or engagement rather than flat sponsorship fees. This model could appeal to smaller brands looking for exposure across multiple platforms without large budgets.
While it’s still early, Vyro’s launch adds another dimension to how creators and marketers can work together in the short-form era.
