Bring the approved words and the context behind them: audience, product, evidence, and visual direction. Turn that source into a complete branded project you can revise and adapt across the campaign.
Video generation uses credits. Review your estimate in ngram. MP4 downloads require Basic or higher.
How credits workTrusted by teams at
This 31-second format example used a written brief containing a public GitHub Blog article URL and selected takeaways. Nia and Tevita are fictional AI hosts, and the generated workflow graphics illustrate the source.
How it works
No template picker, no stock-clip keyword bingo, no slide-builder pretending to be a video editor. The text you already wrote becomes the script, and the script becomes a storyboard you can argue with before anything renders.
Script, prompt, release notes, product copy, blog draft, internal update. Up to 10,000 words. If your source is on a public URL instead, paste the link and ngram fetches the body with Firecrawl.
Choose a direct narration or a scripted discussion from your approved text. For a two-host video podcast, name the hosts’ roles and the facts each turn should explain; the agent proposes dialogue and scene pacing for review before production.
Every scene shows the line of script, the visual direction, and the duration. Drop a section, rewrite a hook, swap a visual, or ask for a CFO cut in plain language, and every change ripples back into the script.
Review the text video for its intended channel, including the crop and caption placement, then export one MP4 from Studio. Prepare and review another aspect ratio as a separate edit.
Output controls
Read the full script before any visual is generated. Cut a paragraph, change a hook, or rewrite the CTA in plain English. Every edit re-flows the scene plan downstream.
H1s, H2s, bullet lists, and even one-paragraph dumps all map to a hook + body + CTA storyboard. The agent re-paces longer text into video-friendly chunks instead of one slide per sentence.
Each scene gets a brand-matched image or short generative clip tied to that paragraph's meaning. No keyword-matched stock footage dragging the video into generic territory.
Logo, fonts, colors and motion style pulled from your saved Brand Kit. Choose saved intro or outro slides for each video that needs them. The 50th text-to-video looks as on-brand as the first.
Read in a default ngram voice, your cloned founder voice, or a multilingual ElevenLabs voice. Pace and tone follow the script you approved.
Turn captions on before export, with styling from the Brand Kit's caption preset. Edit a word in the script and that scene re-renders with the new caption. Captions start off; select your Brand Kit during creation to use its styling.
Set the intended channel and aspect ratio for the text video, then review the crop, caption placement, and CTA before exporting one MP4. Prepare another channel version as a separate edit.
Your pasted text, fetched URLs, and uploaded drafts live in your workspace, and you can delete your account and trigger a full data purge from Settings. Talk to sales about security, access controls, and data handling for your team.
The rest of ngram
Reads your pasted text and rewrites it as a hook-body-CTA video script. Not a slide-by-slide echo of your paragraphs, but a script you'd recognise as the same argument, paced for video.
Learn moreEach scene of the text-to-video gets a brand-matched image or short generative clip tied to that scene's meaning. The visuals follow the script, not a keyword-to-stock-clip table.
Learn moreLogo, fonts, colors and motion style applied to every scene generated from your text. The same kit drives every future text-to-video render, so output stays on-brand at scale.
Learn moreNarrate the script in an ElevenLabs voice, your own cloned voice, or any of the supported languages. The voiceover reads the script you approved in the storyboard step, line for line.
Learn moreBurned-in captions styled to your Brand Kit, generated from the same script. LinkedIn and approved social channels viewers on mute still read the words you pasted in.
Learn moreThe text video leaves Studio as a single MP4. Use Video Converter afterward to make one MOV, WebM, or MKV file; it is a separate one-file, one-output step.

Text to video is one node on ngram's script and storyboard pipeline. Every text-source converter on this list shares the same scene planner, Brand Kit, and review step. Prepare each channel version as a separate edit.
When the text already lives behind a link. ngram fetches the page, strips nav and ads, and feeds the editorial body to the same scene planner you use here.
Open converterTuned for blog posts with H2s, H3s, and bullet lists. Same engine as text-to-video, with extra parsing for editorial article structure.
Open converterWhen the text is locked in a PDF, like release notes, SOPs, or sales briefs. ngram extracts the body and runs the same script-and-storyboard flow.

Editing the video further
Take the text-to-video output past the first cut
Re-cut the rendered text-to-video, drop a scene, or swap a visual. The converted output opens directly in the timeline editor with the script attached.
Open toolTurn on captions when you want them in the video; this tool exports an external.srt for YouTube SEO or for embeds that want a switchable caption track.
Open toolPull a 15-second teaser from the full text-to-video for a paid ad or pre-roll. Trim by transcript line, not timeline.
Open toolTranslate the video's script, captions, and voiceover into a supported language, with lip sync optional. Review and render each localized version separately.
Open toolGenerating from scratch
If you don't have a script written yet
No text written yet? Brief the agent in a prompt and skip the paste step. The script is generated on the way to the same storyboard reviewer.
Open toolGenerate a video script from a short brief first, then feed it into text-to-video for the visual render. Good when the source idea isn't a draft yet.
Open toolStraight read-through of the pasted text over brand visuals, with no avatar and no script rewrite. Useful when you want the words exactly as written.
Open toolHave a talking-head avatar read your text on camera instead of voiceover-over-visuals. Same source script, different presentation.
Open toolPolishing the source first
Tighten the text before you convert it
If your text is a long essay or rough outline, generate a tighter video script first and feed that into text-to-video for shorter, punchier output.
Open toolSource already live on a URL? Skip the paste step and let ngram fetch the page directly, with the same scene planner and fewer steps.
Open toolRecorded a voice memo with the idea? Transcribe first, edit the script, then paste the cleaned text into text-to-video.
Open toolPre-generate the hero thumbnail for the text-to-video output on the same Brand Kit so the social card and the video first frame match.

How it compares
Synthesia centers the avatar; the script lives in a side panel and the brand controls are template-level. Pictory and Lumen5 match each paragraph to a stock-clip library, scene-by-scene. ngram reads the structure, plans the storyboard you can argue with before render, and applies the Brand Kit per scene, so the output reads like your writing, not like a template.
| Feature | ngram | Synthesia | Pictory | Lumen5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| How the text is read | Structure + meaning. The agent rewrites text into a hook-body-CTA script. | Treated as avatar speech script | Sentence-by-sentence over stock clips | Sentence-by-sentence over stock clips |
| Storyboard review before render | Full scene-by-scene plan, editable in plain language | Scene list, limited script editing | Scene cards, limited script edits | Inline timeline, no script-level review |
