The main difference
Munch Studio is a social media workflow. It learns your brand, writes a content strategy, makes posts, carousels and videos, repurposes long videos into clips, and publishes on a schedule. ViewGum is a short-form editor for one thing, the finished vertical short. It writes a script with a hook in the first seconds, voices it or uses your own take, puts a picture or animation under each scene on faceless shorts, and times one-line captions to each word inside one safe zone that clears all four apps. It writes the post copy for each platform, and you post the MP4 yourself.
Made for monetizable content
- An original script written for your topic, not a template.
- Your own voice on a talking-head edit, or an AI voiceover on a faceless short.
- Visuals made for each scene, in a Cutout, Paper or Cartoon look, so the short is transformed, not reposted.
- Guidance on labeling AI content: How to label AI videos
Each platform decides what it pays for, and nothing here promises views or earnings. The rules in plain words: Can you monetize AI shorts?
