Morphology
clip + farmer
The noun combines literal 'clip' with a metaphorical use of 'farmer' (one who 'farms' or produces/gathers something). A B1 learner who knows both words would likely infer it refers to someone who produces or collects clips, but the specific notion of editing/uploading as an online content-creator is a figurative extension that is not fully predictable without exposure.
Etymology
Clip farmer may come from the simple image of a farmer who grows crops and a short clip of video. The idea is that the person 'plants' many small ideas and then 'harvests' them by editing and posting lots of short videos, so the term now means 'a person who regularly edits and uploads video clips'.
