Inside the feature

From scene to sale

  1. 01

    Pick the moment

    Scrub the master in the browser and mark the in and out points.

  2. 02

    Caption it

    Add burned-in captions so the clip still lands in a silent autoplay feed.

  3. 03

    Share it

    Post it anywhere. The SmartLink travels inside the clip.

  4. 04

    Pay the sharer

    Set a share of any sale a collaborator drives. It pays out automatically.

Marketing that points at a checkout

Most film marketing sends people to a trailer, and the trailer sends them nowhere in particular. A clip with a SmartLink closes that gap. The viewer watches thirty seconds, taps once, and is inside the paid title. Nothing is re-uploaded and no separate landing page is needed.

Because the master already lives in Hiway, clipping does not mean exporting, re-encoding and re-uploading. The cut comes from the file that is already there. A live stream can be clipped while it is still running, which matters when a moment is worth sharing that night.

The interesting part is who does the sharing. Cast, crew, fans and creators can all share the same clip with attribution attached. When a share converts, the sharer earns their agreed cut at the point of sale. Hiway takes 10% of a pay-per-view sale, and every buyer lands in a CRM you own.

Questions

Clipping questions

What is clipping in Hiway?

Clipping cuts a short section out of a title you have already uploaded. The clip carries a SmartLink back to the full paid version, so a share becomes a route to a sale.

Do I need a video editor?

No. Clips are cut, captioned and exported in the browser from the master already in your account. There is nothing to download or re-upload.

Can other people share my clips?

Yes. Cast, fans and creators can share a clip with attribution attached. They earn an agreed share of any sale it drives, paid at the point of sale.

Can I clip a live stream?

Yes. A live stream can be clipped while it runs and after it ends. A moment can be shared the same night.
