TikTok Creator Rewards: 1-minute videos, 10,000 followers, 100K views
TikTok's US Creator Rewards terms (updated July 20, 2026) require a 1-minute video, 10,000 followers and 100,000 views in 30 days. How to build a 60-second cut.
TikTok's US Creator Rewards Program Terms, last updated July 20, 2026, require eligible videos to run at least 1 minute. The creator also needs at least 10,000 authentic followers and at least 100,000 authentic total video views in the last 30 days. A 45-second clip, however good, is outside the stated duration rule.
What the terms list
These are the eligibility points on the page, quoted in short.
| Requirement | What the terms say |
|---|---|
| Residency and age | Legal resident of a country where the program is available; 18 or older |
| Followers | At least 10,000 authentic followers |
| Views | At least 100,000 authentic total video views in the last 30 days |
| Video duration | At least 1 minute publicly posted |
| Payment account | At least one valid linked digital payment account in the creator's own name |
| Disqualifier noted | Videos with unauthorized uses of music |
What the terms do not say about AI
The terms, as fetched, do not explicitly address AI-generated content. That is not a green light: the Community Guidelines and the AI label rules still apply to the same video. See how TikTok treats unoriginal AI batches.
Making a 60-second cut
Most single AI clips are shorter than a minute; Sume's docs list seedance-2.5 at 4 to 30 seconds. To reach 60 seconds, assemble several clips.
- Plan the story as 4 to 6 scenes so the join points are deliberate.
- Use Timeline 1.0: it takes one audio spine plus ordered clips, accepts 1 to 1800 seconds, and defaults to 1080x1920 output.
- Run the unbilled plan call first and check that
duration_secondsis comfortably above 60, not exactly 60. - Use music you have the right to use; Sume's Music docs cover generating a track, and the terms list unauthorized music as a disqualifier.
Why aim above 60 seconds
The terms say at least 1 minute, so a cut that lands at 59.8 seconds after an encode is a risk you do not need. Aim for 65 to 75 seconds, then read the finished file's duration before you post. Sume's video inspect returns probe facts for a clip, which is a quick way to confirm length without downloading it into an editor.
Rewards eligibility is also about your account: followers, recent views and a linked payment account. A longer video does not change those.
What stays with you
Sume does not know your follower count, your 30-day views or whether your account is enrolled. Check eligibility in TikTok, and re-read the terms before you budget production around them.
