A quick message or a reusable video?

ngram

Create from existing material

Give ngram your sources and audience. Review a plan containing the script, then generate a demo or explainer with narration and scene design.

Loom

Record a conversation starter

Capture a walkthrough and share it with teammates. Loom keeps viewer comments and reactions alongside the recording.

Use them together

Give a recording another purpose

Upload an exported recording to ngram and explain the new audience and goal. Add supporting docs, choose a style and review the proposed video.

Build from more than a recording

Combine a product page, uploaded files and footage in one brief. The Supabase example on this page uses a public demo and its supporting documentation to create a focused follow-up.

Shape the story before rendering

Name the audience, message and next step. Approve the proposed plan containing the script, then use chat or the editor to refine the result.

Carry your selected brand into production

Choose your Brand Kit in the composer, then select saved intro and outro slides for this demo. Add captions when wanted and request a separate version for another channel.

Consider this workflow
A familiar capture-and-share routine

Loom suits a bug explanation, project update or teammate walkthrough where the recording itself carries the message.

Discussion around the recording

Comments and reactions keep feedback next to the video. That is useful when the goal is a conversation rather than a separate production.

Atlassian-centered communication

For teams working in Jira and Confluence, Loom’s connections can matter as much as the editing controls. Check the plan required for each integration.

From this input to this video

A recap of Supabase’s public demo: create a branch, change the schema, review and merge. The closing action is a suggested next step.

Prompt

Create a 45-second follow-up video after a demo of Supabase Branching for developers who watched Supabase’s public branching demo. Use these approved demo materials, meeting notes or public product sources: the official demo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMQqhHxz5UI and current documentation https://supabase.com/docs/guides/deployment/branching. Recap the audience goal: test database schema changes separately before merging them into production. Show the workflow discussed: in Jon Meyers’s demo, create an add-comments branch, add a comments column to the posts table, review the changes and merge the branch; recap the real demonstrated workflow rather than implying a private customer meeting. Use this verified supporting detail: the demo shows the comments column in the main branch only after the merge completes. Address this open question using only the supplied answer: Does a branch copy production data? No: the demo and documentation describe an isolated branch with the schema but without production data. Keep commercial terms exactly as stated in the source. End with this next step: as a suggested next step, read the current branching guide and evaluate the workflow in a test project; no buyer commitment is recorded. Describe it as agreed only when the source records that agreement; otherwise present it as a suggestion. Use actual product screenshots or recordings from the supplied sources for UI demonstrations. Tone: helpful and practical. Voiceover language: English.

Read the video transcript

Here's a quick recap of Jon Meyers's Supabase Branching demo. The goal: test database schema changes separately, before they touch production. First, he created a branch called add-comments. On that branch, he added a comments column, type text, to the posts table. Then he reviewed the changes: a diff showing exactly what would run against main. And he merged the branch. The comments column appeared in main only after the merge completed. One open question: does a branch copy production data? No. The demo and the docs describe an isolated branch with the schema, but without production data. A suggested next step: read the current branching guide, and evaluate the workflow in a test project.

Turn a demo into a useful follow-up

The example uses Supabase’s public recording and docs. For your own demo, bring an exported video file or suitable public source and explain what the viewer needs next.

  1. Bring the source

    Download an authorized recording from its original tool, then upload that file in ngram. You can also supply a public demo source and supporting documents.

  2. Adapt the brief

    Fill in your product, audience, verified details and next step below. In ngram, attach your files and select the Brand Kit you want to use.

  3. Approve and create

    Review the proposed plan containing the script. Approve it to generate the video, then request any revisions before sharing or downloading.

ngram vs Loom, answered

Is ngram a good Loom alternative?

Choose ngram when your goal is a planned demo, explainer or follow-up assembled from existing material. Loom fits quick recording-led communication. You can also use Loom for capture and ngram for the next production.

Can I use a recording I already made in Loom?

Download a recording you are authorized to use, then upload the video file to ngram. Describe the audience and what the new video should explain. Add supporting files if useful and approve the plan containing the script. Loom includes downloads on paid plans.

What does the example on this page show?

ngram created the Supabase Branching follow-up from Supabase’s public demo and documentation. Open the exact input to see the sources and submitted brief. It is an ngram production from public material, not an exported Loom project.

Can I remove filler words and pauses?

Yes. Upload the footage and ask ngram to remove filler words or pauses as part of the edit. Loom also offers filler and silence removal on Business + AI.

How do I apply my branding?

Set up your Brand Kit, then select it in the composer when creating the video. ngram applies that selected kit. You can also choose saved intro and outro slides and turn captions on.

Can I make a vertical version later?

Yes. After creating the first video, ask ngram for a vertical version and change the aspect ratio and duration settings for that version. If you want to keep both versions embedded, save one as a video file because a public link shows the current version.

Can I try ngram before paying?

Free includes 1,000 credits per month and public sharing with website embeds. The base rate for premium AI video generation is 10 credits per second; a cheaper model costs 3. Available model choices depend on your account. Paid plans include video downloads.

How does pricing compare?

On monthly billing, ngram Basic starts at $29/month with 3,000 credits for one user. Loom Business is $18/user/month and Business + AI is $24/user/month. Choose based on generation needs, creator seats and the required features; the allowances are not interchangeable.

Can I automate a repeatable demo workflow?

Use ngram’s API, Zapier or n8n to submit a brief and supported sources, then handle the completed-video result. Claude and supported ChatGPT connector flows can also create videos using the linked ngram account’s credits. See the integration guides for setup and supported settings.

Do I need editing experience?

Start with the editable brief and explain what the audience should understand. Review the plan and request revisions in chat. The timeline editor is available when you want more direct control.
