Tipping a film

Support a film or creator with credits, the same balance you use to generate. Creators can spend tips on generation or cash out eligible earnings.

The short version: tips start at 5 credits, cashing out is at 250 credits = $1, and withdrawals open once you have accumulated $20.

Tipping a film

You can tip from anywhere you watch:

  • Flick TV and Explore: every film card shows a hand icon with the credits it has been tipped. Click it to add yours.

  • Film page: the Tip tile in the action row under the player, next to Like, Share, and Workflow.

  • Creator profile: every film card on a creator's profile carries the same hand icon, so you can tip from there too.

  • Comments: Post with Tip attaches a tip to your comment. Both go through together.

Choose 50, 200, or 1000 credits, or enter a custom amount of at least 5 credits. You can tip anonymously and add a private note of up to 200 characters. Before sending, check your balance and the cash value shown for the creator.

If your balance is too low, the dialog shows the credits you need and a Buy credits link.

You cannot tip your own film. On your own films, the tip button becomes a counter showing what others have tipped.

Earning tips as a creator

Open Creator Studio from your account menu to see total tips, your cashable balance in USD, recent tips and notes, and top supporters.

Three rules govern your balance:

  1. Tipped credits never expire. They sit in your balance until you spend or cash them out.
  2. They are spent last. When you generate, your own credits go first. Tips are only touched once everything else is gone.
  3. A credit can only be spent or cashed out once. Spending tipped credits on generation reduces the balance available to cash out.

Open the tip notification and select Say thanks to send one private reply of up to 200 characters.

FAQ

Why did my cashable balance go down without a payout? Generation uses tipped credits after your other credits run out. A spent credit cannot also be cashed out.

Do anonymous tips count? Yes. They count toward your earnings and, if eligible, your cashable balance. They do not appear in the public top-supporters list.

Can I withdraw part of my balance? Not currently. A withdrawal always takes your full cashable balance at that moment. Tips that arrive while a request is pending stay in your balance for the next one.
