What are GIPHY Clips?
Clips on GIPHY are essentially GIFs + Sound. When creating video Clips, focus on short, shareable trending moments, actions or highlights that people would want to send to each other, and get rid of all the rest. GIPHY Clips is meant to spark conversations and encourage sharing.
Clips creation is only available for upgraded Brands and Artists. You can apply for an upgraded channel here with a new or existing account.
