"We shipped 14 features last quarter. Support still gets tickets asking for 9 of them."
“”
Product managers and developer relations teams at SaaS companies face the same problem every sprint.
You ship a feature on Thursday, write up the changelog Friday morning, and publish it to your docs.
Maybe you send an email.
Then you wait for adoption that never comes.
The process looks the same every time.
You open your release notes template, summarize the technical changes in bullet points, add a screenshot or two, and hit publish.
Your email open rate sits around 18%.
Click-through to the actual changelog hovers near 4%.
The users who do click skim for 8 seconds and move on.
Treated like Terms & Conditions Users scroll past text changelogs the same way they scroll past privacy policies. Your work disappears into a wall of bullet points.
18% email open rate Even the users who subscribe to your updates barely glance at release announcements buried in their inbox
Support tickets for shipped features Your team spends hours answering questions about capabilities that already exist because users never saw the update
Stale before it ships By the time a freelancer delivers a polished update video, you have already pushed two more releases and changed the positioning
Every unread changelog is a feature your users will never discover, and revenue your team will never capture.
From "check the docs" to "did you see that update video?"
The Old Way
Before ngram
The ngram Way
After ngram
Your team ships a new workflow builder on Thursday. You write 847 words of release notes with three screenshots and a bulleted list. You publish to docs and send the email blast.
Same feature ships Thursday. You paste the release notes into ngram. Twenty minutes later: a 45-second changelog video showing what changed, why it matters, and how to use it. Motion graphics highlight the new workflow. Captions make it watchable on mute in any feed.
Open rate: 18%. Click-through to the changelog: 4%. Feature adoption after 30 days: flat. Two months later, your biggest customer asks when you are going to build the exact feature you shipped in March. They had no idea it existed.
You embed it in your email, post it on LinkedIn, drop it into your in-app changelog widget. Watch rate jumps past 40%. Users try the feature the same week. Your support team stops fielding tickets about things that already exist.
Your PM asks if you should try video. You check freelancer rates. $400 minimum, 3-day turnaround. By the time it ships, you have already pushed a hotfix that changes the UI. The video is wrong on day one.
Next sprint, the video is ready before the standup ends. Your CEO asks what agency you hired. You tell them it took less time than writing the release notes.

Changelog videos from what you already wrote
ngram transforms your text-based release notes into polished video updates that users actually watch, remember, and act on.
1
Start from your release notes
Paste your changelog, PRD, or feature doc. ngram writes a video script that leads with user benefit, shows what changed, and ends with a clear call to action. Review the storyboard, then export a polished video with motion graphics and your branding.
2
Or start from a screen recording
Record a quick walkthrough of the new feature. ngram cuts dead air, adds zooms on key interactions, overlays captions, and wraps it in branded intros and outros. Turn a rough capture into a polished changelog video in minutes.
Most popular
Either way, your users actually see what you shipped. No more building features that stay invisible.
What changes when changelog video take minutes
Every release gets seen
Video changelog engagement runs 40%+ compared to single-digit click-through rates on text. Your features get discovered the week they ship, not six months later when a customer finally stumbles on them.
Feature adoption jumps from day one
When users watch a feature in action, they try it. When they read bullet points about it, they forget. Teams using video announcements consistently see faster time-to-adoption on new capabilities.
Every sprint gets a video
When a changelog video takes 20 minutes instead of 3 days, you stop reserving video for major launches only. Minor improvements, bug fixes, and quality-of-life updates all get their moment.
Fewer 'when are you building this?' tickets
Thorough video rollouts cut repeat support questions about existing features. Your CS team focuses on real issues instead of answering questions about capabilities hiding in your docs.
