# Clip Post

Prior creating a clip post, it is crucial to upload the video for the clip that will be included in the post data to ensure that the necessary information is accessible and can be linked to the post. This requires uploading the clip first, to obtain the clip data that will be used in creating the clip post. To upload a clip, please refer to [Video Handling](/social-plus-sdk/core-concepts/files-images-and-videos/video-handling.md#upload-videos)

Upon successful completion of the upload process, you can include the clip data as a parameter when creating a cilp post, as demonstrated in the code sample below.

Here's an explanation of the method's parameters:

* `targetId` - Id for the target, either a user id or a community id.
