FAQ

Common Questions

Does it cost anything to join the Creator Program? ▾

No. The Creator Program is completely free. There are no subscription fees, upload fees, or hidden charges. Cinee earns only when you earn — through a 30% platform fee on revenue generated from your content.

Do I need a minimum number of followers to start monetizing? ▾

No. Every creator can monetize from their very first upload. There's no follower threshold, view minimum, or waiting period. Set your pricing and start earning immediately.

Can I upload films I've already published on other platforms? ▾

Absolutely. You retain full ownership of your content. You can publish the same film on Cinee, YouTube, Vimeo, or anywhere else simultaneously. We don't require exclusivity (though exclusive premieres may receive a discovery boost).

What AI tools can I use to make content for Cinee? ▾

Any AI tools — Sora, Kling, Seedance, Veo, Runway, Midjourney, Pika, ElevenLabs, Stable Diffusion, and more. We support all AI filmmaking workflows. You just need to disclose which tools you used in your film's metadata, which is a platform requirement for transparency.

How do payouts work? ▾

Payouts are processed weekly via Stripe Connect, directly to your bank account. The minimum payout threshold is $25 USD. You can track all earnings in real time on your creator dashboard.

What's the difference between the Creator Program and Cinee Studio? ▾

The Creator Program is about distribution and monetization — it's how you share your films and earn revenue. Cinee Studio is an optional AI production tool for making films. You can use Studio without joining the Creator Program, and vice versa. They work great together, but neither requires the other.

Can I remove my content at any time? ▾

Yes. You own your content and can remove it from the platform anytime. The only exception is that existing licenses purchased through the Licensing Marketplace remain valid for their term — but no new licenses can be issued once you remove the content.
