Morphology
The compound meaning 'a person who creates or curates short video clips' is directly derivable from the constituents 'clip' (short recorded excerpt) and 'artist' (a person who creates). Although somewhat informal and domain-specific, the noun+noun composition follows regular productive patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both words would likely infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The compound clip artist comes from clip meaning 'a short piece of video' and artist meaning a creative person who works with it. So a clip artist is someone who edits or makes short video clips, often for social media.
