Keynote to video: turn your Apple deck into a branded marketing video
Export your Apple Keynote deck to PPTX, drop the file in, and ngram reads the slide order, the on-slide copy, and your presenter notes. You get a scene-by-scene marketing video with voiceover, captions, and brand styling, no editor required.

How it works
Four steps. About three minutes of waiting.
No screen recording of the Keynote playthrough, no separate voiceover session, no rebuilding the deck in a video tool. Export to PPTX, accept the storyboard, ship a branded video your audience will actually watch.
Export Keynote, drop the file
In Keynote, choose File, Export To, PowerPoint, then upload the .pptx (up to 100 MB) or paste a direct deck link. We pull slide order, on-slide text, and presenter notes with no manual outline.
ngram plans the scenes
Every Keynote slide becomes a scene. Titles turn into hooks, bullets get rewritten into narration, and the images, charts, and product shots you placed in Keynote get treated as B-roll. Presenter notes drive the talk track.
Review the storyboard
Walk the full scene-by-scene plan before anything renders. Reorder, merge two slides, swap the voice, or rewrite a line, all in plain language. The Keynote builds and transitions are reinterpreted as motion, so nothing breaks on export.
Export the video
Render in 16:9, 1:1, or 9:16. MP4, GIF, or WebM with burned-in captions and your brand styling. Post to LinkedIn or YouTube, or embed the marketing video on the launch page the deck was built for.
Output controls
Keynote-aware defaults. Real controls when a slide deserves more attention.
Per-slide scene split
Each Keynote slide becomes its own scene, with timing tuned to how much copy it carries. Merge a title-and-subtitle pair into one scene, or split a dense agenda slide into two, without reopening Keynote.
Presenter notes become narration
If your Keynote presenter notes are written out, ngram uses them as the script. If they are sparse or empty, the agent drafts narration from the slide titles and bullets and lets you rewrite each line in chat.
Keynote builds reinterpreted as motion
Magic Move and slide builds don't survive a flat PPTX export, so ngram rebuilds the motion: bullets fade in with the narration, stat slides get animated callouts, and the deck reads as video rather than a static slideshow.
Reframed for every channel
One Keynote deck, three aspect ratios. 16:9 for YouTube and the website embed, 1:1 for the LinkedIn feed, 9:16 for Reels and Shorts, with smart reframing per format.
Brand Kit on every scene
Logo, colors, fonts, intro and outro cards, and motion style applied automatically. The marketing video stays on-brand even when the original Keynote theme was built for a stage, not a feed.
Burned-in captions per slide
Auto-generated captions, styled to your brand and anchored to each slide's narration. Edit a line in the script and the matching caption updates without a re-render, the way most deck videos get watched on mute.
Localize the deck in one pass
Translate the script and captions, regenerate the voiceover in the target language, and re-render, all from the same Keynote export. Useful when a global launch reuses one source deck.
Security and data handling
Your uploaded deck stays in your workspace. Talk to sales about security, access controls, and data handling for your team.
The rest of ngram
The Keynote-to-video pipeline is one node. The rest of the product picks up where the deck ends.
Slide Animator
The engine behind the conversion. Each slide from your Keynote PPTX export is parsed into a scene blueprint, on-slide copy, notes, and visual hints, before it animates into a branded marketing video.
Learn moreScript Generation
Your Keynote presenter notes become a full talk track. When a slide has no notes, the agent drafts a narration line from the title and bullets, then lets you tighten the wording in chat.
Learn moreAI Voiceover
Pair every Keynote slide with a brand voice from ElevenLabs or MiniMax. Slow the pacing on a dense roadmap slide, lift it on the closing call to action, all by describing the change.
Learn moreCaptions
Captions are auto-burned per slide and styled to your brand kit. The reason it matters: a Keynote launch video gets watched on the LinkedIn feed with the sound off far more than in a quiet room.
Learn moreBrand Kit
Logo, colors, fonts, intro, outro, and motion style applied to every slide-scene. It keeps the marketing video consistent even when the source Keynote theme was designed for a conference screen.
Learn moreMulti-format Export
One Keynote export, three aspect ratios. 16:9 for the website embed, 1:1 for the LinkedIn post, 9:16 for the Reels teaser, all rendered in a single pass.

Open converterFormat-agnostic deck conversion. Keynote, PowerPoint, or a Google Slides export all feed the same pipeline when you just want any slide deck turned into a video.

How it compares
If you've tried converting a Keynote somewhere else.
Keynote's own 'Export to Movie' records the deck playing through at fixed timings. Avatar tools put a synthetic presenter in front of the slides. ngram reads the exported deck, plans the scenes, and renders a video that looks produced rather than played back.
