Question 1

Does Shotcut.io bypass YouTube Partner Program (YPP) requirements?

Accepted Answer

No. Shotcut.io leverages YouTube’s licensed music royalty system. It does not replace or bypass YPP eligibility. It can provide additional music-royalty revenue on eligible Shorts and must follow YouTube policies.

Question 2

How do royalties relate to my existing AdSense/Shorts revenue?

Accepted Answer

Royalties from licensed tracks are separate from AdSense/Shorts ad revenue. If you are in YPP, royalties can complement your existing earnings; availability and rates are determined by YouTube’s systems and rights-holder rules.

Question 3

When are payouts made?

Accepted Answer

Payouts follow our posted schedule after reporting is received from platforms. Reporting can be delayed by platform processing times.
