The platform
edit office connects artists and labels who run music campaigns ("Artists") with approved short-form video editors ("Editors") who create content for those campaigns. Editors are paid from a campaign reward pool after editorial review and submission acceptance.
The platform is not a talent agency. Roster acceptance does not guarantee campaign work. Campaign placement does not guarantee any specific viewership, reach, or virality. edit office makes no viral guarantees.
Accounts
- You must sign in with a valid Google account to access editor or artist features.
- You are responsible for all activity on your account.
- Sharing account access is not permitted.
- You must be at least 16 years old to create an account.
Editor roster
- Applying to the roster does not guarantee acceptance. All applications are reviewed manually.
- Roster access requires verification of TikTok account ownership via the edit office verification flow, unless a special-case application is approved.
- Each TikTok account may only be claimed by one edit office user. Attempting to claim an account already linked to another user may result in account suspension.
- Roster access can be revoked at any time for submitting low-effort edits, violating campaign briefs, or other conduct that harms the platform.
- Accepted editors receive campaign briefs by email and through the platform dashboard.
Artist campaigns
- Campaign briefs submitted through the platform are reviewed before being dispatched to editors.
- Submitting a campaign does not guarantee it will be accepted or that a suitable editor team will be assembled.
- You must own or have the right to distribute the track you submit. edit office is not responsible for copyright disputes arising from tracks submitted by Artists.

Payouts

- Payout amounts depend on the campaign reward pool and the number of accepted submissions.
- Payout day is every Friday for completed campaigns. edit office reserves the right to adjust this schedule with notice.
- Payouts require valid payment information on file. edit office is not responsible for delays caused by incorrect payment details.
Content and conduct
- Editors retain copyright over the edits they create. By submitting an edit as a campaign deliverable, you grant edit office and the relevant Artist a license to use, distribute, and promote that edit in connection with the campaign.
