What happened to Munch?
Munch was a tool that clipped long videos into shorts. It is now Munch Studio, and getmunch.com redirects to munchstudio.com.
- Munch Studio is a done-for-you social media service. The AI writes your posts, repurposes your videos and makes new videos for you to approve.
- Essential costs $38 a month or $456 a year, and Premium costs $60 a month. Both start with a 7-day free trial.
- Essential still repurposes 500 minutes of video a month, so clipping is part of the service.
- If you only want a clipper, the tools below cost less.

How the Munch alternatives differ
The six tools fall into three kinds: clippers, editors that can clip, and a tool that makes the ad for you.
- OpusClip, Klap and Vizard are clippers. They do what Munch used to do: a long video goes in, and captioned vertical clips come out.
- Submagic and Kapwing are editors that can also clip. Submagic improves short clips, and Kapwing is a browser editor with a Clip Maker.
- Cutroom makes one finished ad from one short video of you talking, and you change it in the transcript.

When Munch Studio is still the better choice
Munch Studio is the better pick if you want your social media handled, not just a clipper.
- Munch Studio writes your posts and plans your content. No clipper on this page does that.
- Munch Studio suits agencies, because it has workspaces for several brands.
- Munch Studio posts to Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and TikTok, and a dashboard shows how each post performs.
Which Munch alternative should you choose?
It depends on what you start from: a long recording, a short clip, or a new video of you talking.
Which Munch alternative should you choose
Choose OpusClip if you want the clipper closest to what Munch did, with a free plan and a virality score from Starter.
Choose Klap if you want to schedule posts and read analytics in the same tool that clips.
Choose Vizard if you want 30+ captioned clips from one recording, each with a social caption, and 60 free minutes a month to start.
Choose Submagic if you post short clips every day and want captions, zooms and b-roll added for you.
Choose Kapwing if you edit many kinds of video and want clipping, subtitles and resizing in one browser tab.
Choose Cutroom if you film one short video of yourself and want a finished 9:16 ad back. Your first video is free.
Where Cutroom fits
Munch clipped long videos. Cutroom does something else: it edits one short video of you talking into a finished ad.
- You upload one clip of you talking, up to 3 minutes long.
- Cutroom adds short stock clips that match what you say, adds captions and a headline, and shortens the pauses on the Punch and Native styles.
- You get a 9:16 MP4. To change it, you fix a misheard word or move a clip to other words in the transcript.
- Each upload gives you one finished ad. It does not clip long recordings.
- Your first video is free, with no card, and you have 7 days to make it. It carries a Cutroom mark; Lite at $19.99 a month removes it.
