Keynote to Video for presentations that need to work after the meeting
Bring the approved Keynote deck and turn it into a video people can watch without the presenter in the room. Add voice and pacing, then prepare and review each audience edit separately.
Video generation uses credits. Review your estimate in ngram. MP4 downloads require Basic or higher.

How it works
Four steps. About three minutes of waiting.
Export your Keynote deck to PPTX, upload it, and review the plan and the script it contains. Approve the plan to create your video.
Export Keynote, drop the file
Export your Keynote deck as PowerPoint (.pptx), then upload it. Add the audience and key points you want covered, and review the video plan ngram proposes.
ngram plans the scenes
ngram uses your deck as source material to propose a video plan, including the script and scenes. Review the plan, request any changes, and approve it to start production.
Review the plan
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
Review the Keynote video for its intended channel, including its crop and caption placement, then export one MP4 from Studio. Prepare and review another aspect ratio as a separate edit. Use a separate one-file, one-output Video Converter job afterward for MOV, WebM, or MKV, or Video to GIF for a GIF.
Output controls
Keynote-aware defaults. Real controls when a slide deserves more attention.
Per-slide scene split
Use the deck to shape the video plan. Review the proposed scenes and ask ngram to combine, expand, or reorder the material to suit your audience.
Use speaker notes to guide the script
Paste any speaker notes you want ngram to use as guidance. Tell it which wording or points matter, then review the script in the proposed plan before approving production.
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.
Prepare each channel edit separately
Set the intended channel and aspect ratio for the Keynote video, then review the crop, caption placement, and CTA before exporting one MP4. Prepare another channel version as a separate edit.
Use your Brand Kit
Set up and select your Brand Kit when creating the video to use its logo, colors, fonts, and motion style. Choose any saved intro or outro you want to include. The marketing video can follow your brand even when the original Keynote theme was built for a stage.
Optional captions
Turn on captions when you want them, choose their styling, and check their placement against the narration before sharing the video.
Localize the deck as a separate edit
Translate the script and captions, regenerate the voiceover in the target language, and review the localized video before rendering it separately. 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.
PPT to Video for a Keynote export
Export Keynote to PowerPoint and upload the PPTX as source material. Review the proposed video plan and script, then approve production.
Learn moreScript Generation
Paste any speaker notes you want ngram to use as guidance. Tell it which wording or points matter, then review the script in the proposed plan before approving production.
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
Turn on captions when you want them and choose their styling. Captions help viewers follow the Keynote story when watching with the sound off.
Learn moreBrand Kit
Set up your Brand Kit, then select it when creating the video to use its logo, colors, fonts, and style. Choose saved intros or outros when you want to include them.
Learn moreConvert the finished Keynote presentation
Finish the Keynote presentation in Studio and download one MP4. When a site, player, or handoff requires MOV, WebM, or MKV, convert that file separately in Video Converter, one input and one output per job.

Different source, same engine.
Keynote to video shares the scene planner, brand kit, voiceover stack, and export pipeline with every other deck and document converter. Starting from a different file? There's a direct path for it.
The closest sibling. If your deck was built in PowerPoint rather than Keynote, skip the export step and convert the PPTX straight through the same scene planner.
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.
Open converterIf the deck already left Keynote as a PDF, convert the PDF directly. The scene planner reads the page order and text the same way it reads slides.

Open toolVideo Cutter
Pull the strongest 30-second moment out of the full deck video, handy when sales wants a short teaser cut from the same Keynote source.
Open toolAdd Music to Video
Lay a tasteful bed under the deck narration so the slide-by-slide voiceover from your Keynote stays up front and the video doesn't feel dry.

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.
