From this input to this video

A script based on NIST’s published guidance becomes a whiteboard training video with captions.

Prompt

Create a 45-second animated cybersecurity training video that teaches recognizing and reporting phishing using NIST’s small-business guidance at https://www.nist.gov/itl/smallbusinesscyber/guidance-topic/phishing to small-business employees. Use my script verbatim for the voiceover — do not rewrite it: An urgent message can make a risky click feel necessary. Phishing impersonates a trusted sender to steal information or deliver harmful software. Pause when a message asks for a password, a payment, a download or immediate action. Check the sender, and verify the request through a contact method you already trust. Do not use the message’s own link or phone number to verify it. Report suspicious messages using your organization’s process. If you already clicked, tell your security contact promptly. Pause, verify and report. Read NIST’s phishing guidance and learn your team’s reporting process. Explain the idea with the warning signs and verification steps in the NIST guidance and reinforce each key term with clear on-screen labels. Visual style: whiteboard. Tone: calm and practical. Open with a short real-world hook, walk through the concept step by step, then close on a one-line recap and this call to action: Read NIST’s phishing guidance and learn your team’s reporting process. Add captions for muted playback.

Create a lesson from your approved script

The example uses a script based on public NIST guidance. Replace its subject and wording with the lesson your team needs, then choose how it should look.

  1. Prepare the lesson

    Use an approved script and source material. Export slides or documents you want to include as a supported upload, such as PowerPoint or PDF.

  2. Set the direction

    Fill in the audience, topic, script and call to action below. Select a style, then attach your materials and choose your Brand Kit in ngram.

  3. Review and deliver

    Approve the plan containing the script. After generation, review the result, request changes and share it. On a paid plan, download the MP4 for your learning platform.

ngram vs Colossyan, answered

Does Colossyan offer AI planning before rendering?

Yes. Cora reads the supplied source, proposes an approach and prepares a scene-by-scene plan. You approve before rendering. Both products support a review step, so compare the editor, output and delivery path rather than treating planning as exclusive to ngram.

Can I bring a Colossyan video into ngram?

Download footage you are authorized to use with the original tool’s export controls and account permissions. Upload the MP4 to ngram with the audience and goal for the new lesson. Keep the original editable project and any interactive course in its authoring tool.

How should I compare the price?

Professional includes one editor, 30 NEO minutes and 10 NEO 2 minutes per month on monthly billing, plus five streaming SCORM exports/month. Extra editors cost $45/month or $30/month equivalent annually, with up to three editors. Annual video minutes are supplied upfront. Monthly unused minutes do not roll over. Enterprise has different generation and SCORM terms; unlimited MP4 downloads do not make Professional generation unlimited. ngram Basic is $29/month with monthly billing and 3,000 credits per cycle, or $23.20/month equivalent annually with 36,000 credits supplied upfront. The base rate for premium AI video generation is 10 credits per second; a cheaper model costs 3. Free includes 1,000 credits/month.

Can I use both tools together?

Yes. Keep useful authoring and learning workflows where they already serve your team. Bring an approved script, PDF, PowerPoint or exported footage into ngram to make a new explanation for the audience you choose.

How can I add an ngram video to my learning platform?

Create and review the lesson, then download the MP4 on a paid plan and add it to your learning platform. Keep the original source and brief so you can ask ngram to revise the lesson when the material changes.

What does the example on this page show?

The example is a whiteboard lesson created in ngram from a script based on public NIST phishing guidance. Inspect its exact prompt, settings and transcript, then adapt the brief. It is not an imported Colossyan project or a performance test of the other product.

How do branding and captions work in ngram?

Set up your Brand Kit and select it in the composer for the current video. Turn captions on when wanted, then approve the plan containing the script. Request revisions or use the timeline after generation.

Can I share videos on ngram Free?

Free includes 1,000 credits/month and supports public sharing and website embeds. Use a paid plan for MP4 downloads; unlisted links start with Basic.

Can ngram turn a lesson into a conversation?

Yes. Ask for a training Q&A or interview and describe what each speaker should explain. Choose a model that supports presenters if you want visible speakers, then review the dialogue in the proposed plan before generation. The result is a video lesson you can share, with downloads available on paid plans.
