Tutorial to Video for steps customers and teams can actually follow
Bring the approved instructions and real product workflow. Turn each meaningful step into a clear branded video, then keep the project editable as the product, policy, or process changes.
Video generation uses credits. Review your estimate in ngram. MP4 downloads require Basic or higher.

How it works
Four steps from written tutorial to video people can follow.
Start with one tutorial. ngram turns the steps into a storyboard you can review before a video renders.
Add the tutorial source
Paste the tutorial text, upload a native-text PDF, or paste a public tutorial URL. ngram reads the goal, prerequisites, numbered steps, examples, and final check.
Steps become scenes
The agent turns the tutorial into a script and scene plan. Each step gets a clear narration line, visual direction, and recap point instead of becoming a static slide.
Review the plan containing the script
Rewrite a step, add a caution, shorten the intro, or ask for a beginner-facing version. The script, captions, and scene plan update together before render.
Render and share
Export a reviewed tutorial MP4 for help centers, onboarding, training, or product education. Prepare landscape, square, or vertical edits separately, with captions burned in.
Output controls
What stays editable between the tutorial and the finished video.
Step-aware scene breaks
Numbered steps become separate scenes with their own narration, visual direction, and check point. Long steps split on natural action changes.
Literal or rewritten script
Keep approved support wording when accuracy matters, or ask ngram to rewrite a dense tutorial into spoken language for a clearer how-to video.
Visuals for steps without footage
When the tutorial starts as text, ngram can generate scene visuals, diagrams, and motion cards that make each instruction easier to follow.
Voiceover from the approved storyboard
Generate narration with a selected voice, then regenerate the affected audio when you change a step or simplify an explanation.
Captions built for silent replay
Caption text comes from the reviewed tutorial script and burns into the output, so users can follow the how-to without sound.
Brand kit on every scene
Logo, colors, fonts, motion style, approved phrases, and blocked phrases come from the active workspace Brand Kit when one is set.
Multiple aspect ratios
Prepare a 16:9 help-article edit, a 1:1 feed edit, or a 9:16 product-education edit. Review the layout for each format before exporting one MP4.
Workspace source handling
Tutorial text, PDFs, fetched pages, scripts, and rendered videos live in your workspace. Account deletion can trigger the product data purge flow from Settings.
The rest of ngram
The ngram features behind tutorial to video.
Script Generation
Turns tutorial steps into a spoken how-to script with a hook, ordered instructions, warnings, and recap. The script stays editable before render.
Learn moreAI Visuals
Creates supporting visuals for tutorial steps that start as text, including concept frames, diagrams, and scene art tied to the step being explained.
Learn moreMotion Graphics
Animates step labels, callouts, lower-thirds, and recap cards so the tutorial video guides attention without a manual design pass.
Learn moreAI Voiceover
Narrates the approved tutorial script with a selected voice. Change a step in the storyboard and regenerate the narration for that section.
Learn moreCaptions
Burned-in captions make the tutorial easier to replay, skim, and follow silently. Caption text follows the script you approved.
Learn moreBrand Kit
Keeps customer tutorials, training cuts, and product how-tos aligned with your logo, colors, font choices, voice rules, and approved language.
Learn moreUse cases
Where one tutorial becomes a useful video asset.
Turn a written how-to into a video tutorial
Use tutorial to video when the written steps are approved but the audience needs a watchable walkthrough with narration and captions.
See use caseAdd a video answer to a recurring support question
Convert the support tutorial into a short help video so customers see the sequence before opening another ticket.
See use casePut the video version above the help article
Keep the article for search and detail, then add a tutorial video at the top for users who would rather watch the steps.
See use caseTurn setup instructions into onboarding video
Convert a customer setup tutorial into a replayable onboarding video that new accounts can revisit after the kickoff call.
See use caseTeach a feature from the tutorial your CS team trusts
Start from the same written tutorial CS already uses, then render a feature education video for adoption emails and in-app guidance.
See use caseConvert product steps into a guided demo
When a tutorial explains one product workflow, use the same steps to create a demo video with callouts, captions, and a clear ending.
See use caseTurn process tutorials into employee training
HR and operations teams can convert approved process tutorials into training videos, then revise the source text when the process changes.
See use caseMake a tutorial easier to understand
Use the tutorial to video flow when a topic needs more than screenshots. The agent turns each explanation into a clearer visual scene.
See use caseOther converters
Pick the converter that matches the tutorial source.
Tutorial to video uses ngram's text and document pipeline. Switch converters when the source lives as a broader doc, raw text, or public URL.
Use docs-to-video when the tutorial sits inside a longer handbook, SOP, or multi-section document instead of one focused how-to.
Open converterUse text-to-video when the source is a short script, paragraph, or prompt that does not need tutorial-specific step handling.
Open converterUse URL-to-video when the source is a public product page, help article, or tutorial page that ngram can fetch and read directly.
Open converterTools that pair with this converter
Tighten the tutorial source. Finish the video after render.
Editing further
After the tutorial-to-video render lands
Video Editor
Open the rendered tutorial on the timeline, trim a step, replace a visual, or adjust a single scene without rebuilding the project.
Open toolAdd Subtitles to Video
Captions are included in generated tutorial videos; use this tool when a finished tutorial needs a separate subtitle cleanup pass.
Open toolVideo Cutter
Cut a longer tutorial into a shorter recap or support clip by trimming transcript lines instead of scrubbing the timeline.
Open toolVideo Translator
Translate a finished tutorial across captions, on-screen text, and voiceover when the same how-to needs another language.

How it compares
If you have been making tutorial videos another way.
A screen recorder captures what happened on your screen. An avatar tool presents a script. A template editor starts from a prompt. ngram starts from the written tutorial, plans the scenes, and keeps each step editable before render.
| Feature | ngram | Synthesia | Loom | InVideo |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Source material | Tutorial text, native-text PDF, or public tutorial URL | Script entered for an avatar-led video | Screen, camera, or microphone recording | Prompt or script used to draft a video |
| Tutorial structure | Goal, prerequisites, steps, warnings, and recap become separate scenes | Script and scenes are built around the presenter format | Structure depends on the recording | Prompt-led scene draft, edited in the video editor |
| Review before render | Storyboard visible and editable before the video is generated | Script and avatar preview workflow | Review happens after recording | Draft is reviewed in the editor after generation |
| Voiceover | Generated from the approved tutorial script | Avatar voice reads the script | Presenter records voice live or adds narration after | AI voiceover available in generated projects |
| Visual support | AI visuals, motion graphics, captions, and recap frames tied to each tutorial step | Presenter-led frame with visual inserts | Screen recording, webcam, and edits | Template and stock-style scenes edited after draft |
| Updating a tutorial | Edit the source step or storyboard scene and regenerate the affected video section | Update the script and regenerate the avatar video | Re-record or edit the affected section | Update the prompt or timeline and regenerate/edit |
| Aspect ratios | Separate reviewed aspect-ratio edits from one tutorial project | Depends on project setup | Depends on recording and export setup | Multiple formats available through the editor |
| Best when | You have a written tutorial and want a branded, narrated how-to without recording | You want a presenter to deliver a finished tutorial script | You want to record the screen as you perform the steps | You want prompt-to-video generation with manual editor controls |
