Docs to Video for knowledge your team needs to use
Bring the document where the product knowledge, process, or policy already lives. Turn it into a clear branded video, then update the same project as the underlying information changes.
Video generation uses credits. Review your estimate in ngram. MP4 downloads require Basic or higher.

How it works
Four steps from doc to a video that holds attention.
No timeline, no scene-by-scene scripting, no manual layout work. Paste the doc, review the plan, hit render.
Drop the doc in
Paste the document text or upload a PDF export. Review the plan to check the script, key points, and proposed video structure.
Structure becomes story
Each H2 becomes a scene. Numbered steps become sequence cards. Callouts become emphasis frames. The agent writes the voiceover script from the actual prose.
Review the plan containing the script
Approve, reorder, or rewrite scenes in plain language. Swap visuals, tighten copy, set tone. Every change is one chat turn.
Ship and share
Export MP4 in 16:9, 1:1, or 9:16. Publish to a hosted /watch page, push to LinkedIn, or hand off to Slack.
Output controls
Sensible defaults. Real controls when the doc deserves them.
Section-aware scene breaks
H1, H2, and H3 become real scene boundaries, not arbitrary 7-second chunks. Long sections split on natural paragraph beats.
Verbatim or rewritten script
Keep the doc's exact wording for policy and SOPs, or let the agent rewrite for spoken voiceover. Toggle per scene.
Voiceover that matches the doc's tone
Formal for handbooks, conversational for onboarding guides, dry for compliance. Pick a brand voice or clone your own from /app/settings/voice.
Burned-in captions
Auto-generated and styled per brand kit. Numbered steps stay visible long enough to read; quotes hold for emphasis.
Motion graphics for lists and tables
Bullet hierarchies animate in. Numbered steps stack as counter cards. Markdown tables render as branded scene cards.
Brand kit applied per scene
Logo, palette, font stack, and approved phrases from /app/brand-kit show up on every card. Different doc, same brand.
Localized edits prepared separately
Translate the same doc into a German handbook video, a Spanish SOP, a Portuguese training module. Captions, on-screen text, and voiceover all swap.
Channel versions from one source
Prepare a 9:16 all-hands edit, a 1:1 LinkedIn edit, or a 16:9 hosted-page edit from the same doc. Review each cut separately before exporting one MP4.
The rest of ngram
Docs to video is one node. The product is the whole pipeline.
Script generation
Turn dense prose into a spoken script that keeps the doc's meaning. The agent rewrites long paragraphs for ear, not eye, and preserves the order of your headings.
Learn moreAI voiceover
Narrate the doc in a voice that fits the audience: measured for compliance, warm for onboarding, brisk for change management. ElevenLabs and MiniMax under the hood.
Learn moreMotion graphics
Bullet lists animate in. Numbered SOP steps build as counter cards. Pull-quote callouts hold long enough for the viewer to read them. No After Effects required.
Learn moreBrand kit
Every doc-to-video render picks up the workspace logo, type, palette, and approved phrases. HR, ops, and policy videos stay visually consistent across the company.
Learn moreCaptions
Turn on captions before export. Helpful when the video plays muted on the all-hands TV or inside a help-center embed.
Learn moreTranslation
Convert the same source doc into localized policy videos and SOPs. Voiceover, captions, and on-screen text all translate together.
Learn moreUse cases
Where docs that nobody reads become videos that get watched.
Employee handbook as a watch-once video
Turn the 40-page handbook into a 6-minute branded video new hires actually finish. Re-render when policy text changes, no re-record cycle.
See use caseHR policy updates teams sign off on
Each numbered policy section becomes a scene. Pair with a quick acknowledgement so legal has a paper trail and the video has a viewer.
See use caseSOP and process docs as training modules
Turn an ops SOP or a tooling runbook into a modular training video. Steps stay numbered on-screen; sections become chapter breaks.
See use caseStrategy docs that people watch instead of skim
The quarterly plan in your shared drive opens nobody's inbox. The 3-minute branded video from the same doc gets watched in the all-hands and resharing in Slack.
See use caseAnnouncement docs as company-wide videos
Reorg memos, new policy rollouts, or culture updates ship as branded videos straight from the announcement doc, same wording, more reach.
See use caseSetup guides as onboarding videos
Your internal CS onboarding doc becomes a customer-facing video walkthrough. Same source text, branded scenes, and a separate reviewed edit for each channel.
See use caseHelp docs viewers can watch in 90 seconds
Long support articles get a 60-90 second video version embedded at the top. Deflects tickets, lifts self-serve completion.
See use caseFeature-education videos from product docs
CS turns release docs and how-to articles into branded videos for in-app tooltips, lifecycle email, and renewal touchpoints.
See use caseInternal playbooks as enablement videos
Sales playbook docs become branded enablement videos that new reps watch in week one: same content, less reading, faster ramp.
See use caseOther converters
Different source material? There's a converter for that.
Docs to video is one of 16+ converters that share the same agentic pipeline, brand kit, and export options. Different input, same output muscle.
When the doc lives as a PDF (handbook export, signed policy, archived guide), convert directly without copy-pasting the text.
Open converterWhen the source is a short brief or paragraph instead of a structured doc, drop into text-to-video for a one-prompt render.
Open converterWhen the doc is technical (API reference, README, integration guide), the product-docs converter respects code blocks and endpoint structure.
Open converterTools that pair with this converter
Sharpen the source. Polish the output.
Generating from scratch
When you only have the doc and no footage yet
Text to Video
Paste a single passage from the doc and get a standalone short video. Useful for pulling a callout scene out of a longer handbook.
Open toolAI Avatar Video Generator
Wrap the doc's script in a talking-head presenter instead of motion graphics. Good for onboarding and policy videos where a human face matters.
Open toolText to Speech Video
Convert a doc passage into narrated video without a storyboard pass. Faster, less branded, useful for internal voice memos.
Open toolAI Video Generator
Skip the doc and prompt the full video from scratch, handy when the written source is just a rough brief.
Open toolEditing the output further
After the doc-to-video render lands
Video Editor
Open the rendered doc video on the timeline. Trim sections that read better as text, swap visuals on a single scene, re-cut a 9:16 alt.
Open toolAdd Subtitles to Video
Layer extra subtitle tracks for localized versions of the same doc (German, French, Spanish) on top of the source render.
Open toolVideo Cutter
Slice a long handbook video into chapter-sized clips for in-app tooltips, Slack drops, or a chaptered help-center embed.

How it compares
If you've been doing this another way.
Avatar tools narrate doc text over a presenter card. Screen-recording tools rely on a person reading the doc out loud. ngram reads the doc's structure and builds a branded motion-graphic video.
| Feature | ngram | Synthesia | Loom | Manual edit (Premiere or DIY) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Reads doc structure (H2, lists, callouts) | Yes, headings become scenes, lists become sequences | Extracts text; avatar narrates linearly | Live read, no structural parsing | Manual, depends on the editor |
| Time from doc to first cut | Minutes | Tens of minutes (record + edit) | Real-time + edit pass | Hours to days |
| Re-render when the doc changes | Paste new version, re-render | Re-record narration | Re-record screen | Re-edit from scratch |
| Brand kit across every render | Set up and select your Brand Kit | Template-level branding | No brand layer | Manual per project |
| Storyboard preview before render | Full scene plan, editable in chat | Generate first, edit after | No preview, live capture | Editor decides |
| Localized variants | Voiceover, captions, on-screen text translate together | Avatar voiceover per language | Re-record per language | Manual per language |
| Channel versions | Separate reviewed aspect-ratio edits from one doc | One format per export | 16:9 only | Manual reframe per format |
| API + agentic access | REST API with self-service API keys; MCP, Zapier, and n8n for documented workflows | API on paid plans | Limited API | None |
| Best when | You want branded, scene-based video directly from a structured doc | You want a talking-head presenter for the doc | You want a live walk-through with your voice | You have an editor and time to burn |
