AI tool that clips long-form video into short, captioned, platform-ready social clips.

Munch is an AI video repurposing tool that takes a long-form video — a webinar, a podcast recording, an interview, a livestream — and automatically pulls out the segments most likely to perform as short clips. It was founded in 2021 and is based in Tel Aviv, originally launching at getmunch.com before rebranding as Munch Studio. The product's reputation was built on one job: turning hours of footage into a stack of vertical, captioned shorts without anyone touching a timeline.
The way it works is analysis-first. Munch uses a mix of large language models, OCR, and natural-language processing to read the transcript, the on-screen text, and the speech patterns of your video, then scores moments against current social trends to surface the clips with the best shot at traveling. For each clip it auto-generates captions, crops and reframes to vertical or square, and centers the speaker so the subject stays in frame. Captions are available in a range of languages, and clips can be exported or published directly to connected accounts.
In 2026 Munch repositioned from a standalone clipper into Munch Studio, a broader "social media done for you" platform aimed at small businesses and agencies — adding AI-generated text posts, a content planner and scheduler, posters and carousels, and a performance dashboard layered on top of the clipping engine. Pricing has shifted with the relaunch and is tier-based around monthly video minutes; check the live pricing page before committing, since the exact tiers and limits have changed recently.
The honest scope: Munch is excellent at finding and cutting clips from footage you already have. It does not film for you, it does not generate net-new avatar or talking-head video, and its brand-consistency controls are lighter than a dedicated persona system. It is a clipping and light social-management tool, not a full content-generation engine.
Munch is a strong front end for one input type: footage you already recorded. It reads a long video and hands you a set of scored, captioned cuts. What it does not do is invent the formats you don't have footage for — and that is the gap Kompozy fills. Take Munch's best clip and run it through Kompozy to fan that single moment into a whole content unit: the clip itself for short-form feeds, plus a quote card pulled from the line that landed, a carousel that breaks the point into slides, a blog draft, a newsletter section, and a text post written in your own voice through your Persona Brief. One Munch cut becomes a week of cross-format posts instead of a single upload.
Kompozy also covers the destinations Munch's clipper does not reach and the formats it cannot make. Munch publishes to a handful of social accounts; Kompozy fans output to nine platforms — Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, X, Pinterest, and Threads, plus Mailchimp for email and blog destinations — from one queue with per-post approval. And where Munch needs existing footage, Kompozy generates net-new video Munch can't: HeyGen persona and avatar shorts, brand-exact HyperFrames compositions, and VFX hooks, all driven by a consistent AI Influencer persona. Use Munch to mine your archive; use Kompozy to turn each find into branded, scheduled, multi-format content — and to keep producing on weeks you didn't film anything.
Munch (now Munch Studio) is an AI video repurposing tool founded in 2021 and based in Tel Aviv. It analyzes a long-form video with language models, OCR, and NLP, scores the most engaging moments against social trends, and outputs captioned, reframed short clips for TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts.
It clips. You give it a long video and it returns a set of trend-scored vertical clips with auto-generated captions, cropped and centered for short-form feeds. The 2026 Munch Studio relaunch adds AI text posts, a scheduler, posters, carousels, and a performance dashboard on top of the clipping engine.
Munch works from footage you already have — it finds and cuts clips from a video you upload. It does not generate net-new talking-head or avatar video from a script. For generated persona or avatar shorts, you need a tool like Kompozy that produces video rather than only repurposing it.
Munch is subscription-based with tiers built around monthly video minutes and feature sets, and pricing changed with the 2026 Munch Studio relaunch. Because the tiers and limits have shifted recently, check the official pricing page for current numbers before subscribing.
Munch publishes to a limited set of connected accounts. To reach all nine platforms and turn one clip into multiple formats, bring the export into Kompozy — it adds branded captions, fans the clip into carousels, quote cards, blogs, and posts in your voice, and schedules and publishes across TikTok, Reels, Shorts, LinkedIn, X, and more.
