Morphology

clip + farm

The compound is transparently built from 'clip' (short recorded excerpt) + 'farm' (a place/operation that produces something in large quantities), so a B1 learner who knows those senses can infer 'a business that produces many clips.' The formation parallels common compounds like 'content farm' or 'click farm' and follows a regular production/place meaning, making the overall sense readily derivable from the parts.

Etymology

Clip farm may come from the image of a farm that grows many crops and a clip as a 'short video'. Imagine rows full of little videos ready to be picked; that's why the term means a business that makes lots of short videos quickly.
