Schedule your Reels ahead and keep Instagram active on your busiest weeks
Connect your Instagram Business or Creator account, choose a day, and Munch Studio suggests the time your followers are most active. Your Reels sit on one calendar with the rest of your social, so nothing depends on you remembering.
Munch Studio schedules vertical videos to your connected Instagram Business or Creator account, where they publish as Reels. Choose a date, take the suggested time or set your own, and manage every Reel from one Planner.
Your followers notice when Instagram goes quiet
Most businesses don't stop posting Reels because they ran out of ideas. They stop because the week got busy, and posting at a good time meant stopping a client meeting or a dinner rush to open the app.
When that happens a few weeks in a row, the account starts to look abandoned to the people who were about to buy from you. Scheduling is how you stay present on the weeks you can't be.
Plan your Reels in one sitting
Connect Instagram once from the Integrations page, and from then on your scheduled posts publish on their own. Every vertical video you schedule to Instagram goes out as a Reel. Instagram only lets tools connect to Business or Creator accounts linked to a Facebook Page, so if yours is a personal account, switch it in the Instagram app first.
When you schedule, you pick the date and Smart Scheduling suggests a time based on when your audience is active. It does the same for the clips Munch cuts from your longer videos, right in the Planner. You can switch the suggestion off and choose the hour yourself whenever you'd like more control.
Every post comes with a caption written for it, ready for you to keep or change. You can add a first comment that goes up right after the Reel does, which keeps your caption clean and your hashtags out of the way.
Reels, carousels, and posts on the same calendar
Your Reels live in the Planner, a day by day, hour by hour calendar that also holds your carousels, single posts, and everything going to Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, and TikTok. Click any post to edit it or move it, and you can see the whole week before it starts.
Seeing Reels next to your carousels helps you keep a good mix, so your grid doesn't turn into five videos in a row followed by a silent week.
Where your Reels come from
Scheduling is easy once the videos exist, and Munch Studio helps make them in the same account.
Reels you've already edited.
Made a Reel in another app? Upload the finished video and schedule it like any other post.
Clips from recordings you already have.
Upload a webinar, podcast, or Zoom call and Munch cuts it into short clips with subtitles, then you schedule them from the Planner, with Smart Scheduling suggesting a time for each one. See how video repurposing works.
Voiceover videos.
Choose a style and topic, pick Instagram as the platform, and Munch generates a short vertical video with AI narration, ready to schedule.
Weekly video scripts.
When you'd rather be on camera yourself, Munch writes scripts for your business so the next Reel is easy to film.

If you only need to clip and queue Reels
If all you want is to cut long videos into clips and bulk schedule them as Reels, a clip tool like OpusClip handles that well, and its scheduling ahead sits on its Pro plan. It's a good fit for creators whose content already starts as long recordings.
Munch Studio suits owners who want Instagram handled as part of the whole week, with posts and carousels written from your website and videos scheduled alongside them. For a fuller comparison, see Munch Studio vs Opus Clip or the best Opus Clip alternatives.
FAQ
Can you schedule Instagram Reels with Munch Studio?
Yes. Once your Instagram Business or Creator account is connected, you can schedule vertical videos and Munch Studio publishes them as Reels at the time you set.
How do I schedule Instagram Reels with Munch Studio?
Connect Instagram from the Integrations page, open the video you want to share, and choose a date. Smart Scheduling suggests a time based on your audience's activity, or you can set your own, and the Reel then sits in your Planner until it goes live.
Can I upload a Reel I edited somewhere else?
Yes. Upload the finished video to Munch Studio, add your caption, and schedule it. It publishes to Instagram as a Reel at the time you set.
Why can't I connect my Instagram account?
Instagram only allows Business or Creator accounts linked to a Facebook Page to connect to scheduling tools. Switch your account type in the Instagram app, link it to a Facebook Page, and then connect it in Munch.
Can I add hashtags in the first comment?
Yes. You can add a first comment to any scheduled post, and it goes up right after the post publishes. You can turn it on or off for each post.
Does Munch Studio suggest the best time to post Reels?
Smart Scheduling suggests a time for the day you pick, based on when your audience is active. Our guide to the best time to post covers the wider patterns.
Can I turn a long video into Reels and schedule them?
Yes. Munch cuts long recordings into short clips with subtitles, and you schedule them from the same Planner, where Smart Scheduling suggests a time for each one. Essential includes 500 minutes of video repurposing a month and Premium includes 1,000.
Do I have to approve each Reel before it posts?
No. With a properly connected account, scheduled posts publish without another approval. If the connection expires or loses permissions, reconnect it in Integrations so your scheduled posts can go out.
Is Munch Studio the same as getmunch?
Yes. Munch Studio, formerly getmunch, comes from the same company, and getmunch.com now redirects to munchstudio.com. Clipping is still here, now alongside scheduling, posts, carousels, and performance tracking.
The Reels that keep your business in front of people don't need you standing by at the perfect minute.
Plan them once, and let your Instagram keep working while you do.
