Muscle ups are easier to get by doing kip to supports for high volume, as you get stronger decrease the kick and increase the pull. If you can do at least 1 pull up you can do a lot of kipping muscle ups.

Can someone please give me some advice on how to do it or point to a video with explanation, how it's really called etc. ?

The name doesn't matter, call it partial muscle up, swinging pullover or however you like it, it's just the beginning motion of a kipping muscle up.

You see the guy literally jumping on the bar to get momentum and then doing a pendulum motion. Imagine the outer position of a headbanger pull up but with vertical momentum.
