From this input to this video

An announcement using Linear’s October 8 release and actual product imagery to show the workflow.

Prompt

Create a 30-second feature announcement video for Linear, a product development platform for engineering teams reviewing stacked code changes. Use this release source: https://linear.app/changelog/2026-10-08-stacked-pull-requests. The new feature is stacked pull requests in Linear Diffs: the October 8, 2026 release shows every pull request in a stack with its review, CI and merge status. Open on the problem users had before: following the status of related pull requests across a stack. Show how stacked pull requests in Linear Diffs solves it — use motion graphics over the real product UI or a provided URL screenshot; do not invent fake screens. Tone: clear and practical. End on the product logo with the line Explore stacked pull requests in Linear Diffs. Channel: LinkedIn in landscape 16:9. Voiceover language: English; if no voiceover, use on-screen captions and light background music.

Read the video transcript

Stacked pull requests keep big changes small. But following a stack meant jumping between pull requests, checking each review, each CI run and each merge on its own. Now Linear Diffs shows the whole stack in one place. See where you are, move through every pull request, and read review, CI and merge status at a glance. Related PRs are grouped into a single row in Reviews, with their issue and project context. Explore stacked pull requests in Linear Diffs.

ngram vs InVideo, answered

When is ngram a useful InVideo alternative?

Try ngram for recurring product updates, demos or training explanations from your existing material. The Linear example shows a public release source, filled brief and real result. Evaluate InVideo when you want its agent-assisted timeline and collaborative editing workflow.

Can InVideo edit footage I already have?

Yes. Its current editor supports uploaded footage, finding moments by description and applying edits across shots. It also offers direct timeline control. It should not be described as a stock-only generator.

Do both products support planning?

Yes. ngram asks you to approve the plan containing the script. InVideo documents script writing and storyboard review before generation. Compare how each path fits the source and revisions you need.

Can I bring an InVideo video into ngram?

Export the footage you want to use and upload that video file. Add the new audience, purpose and any supporting material. Review the proposed plan. Keep the original editable project in InVideo; the export supplies source footage.

Do both work with AI assistants?

Yes. ngram offers MCP connections and API workflows. InVideo’s Remote Agents connection exposes its editing workspace through MCP. Check the specific actions and account requirements for your intended workflow.

How do I apply branding in ngram?

Configure a Brand Kit and select it in the composer for this video. Use AI assistance or direct editing to prepare reusable intro/outro slide designs in the kit, then choose the saved slides to include in your announcement. Select your style, enable captions when wanted and approve the plan containing the script.
