What does 움찔움짤 mean?

ANSWER: a flinching GIF image

움찔 means flinching, and 움짤 is an abbreviation of 직이는 방, a moving 짤방. And 짤방 is Korean slang for a JPG file image,  so 움짤 literally means a moving JPG image, commonly known as an animated GIF image. That means 움찔움짤 literally means a flinching (움찔) animated GIF image (움짤).

But what is a flinching animated GIF image움찔움짤 may be just a longer, somewhat redundant version of 움짤, or it may be an animated GIF where only a part or parts of the image move, as suggested in the video below. Notice in the video that the only parts of the two women that are moving are essentially their mouths and arms. In other words, they are physically demonstrating what the camera's animation function does to still  photos.
