Bring the learning objective, lesson plan, and examples that make the concept clear. Turn them into a structured video, then reuse the format across the rest of the course or training program.
Video generation uses credits. Review your estimate in ngram. MP4 downloads require Basic or higher.

How it works
Start with one lesson, not a whole course library. ngram turns the plan into a storyboard you review before the render.
Add the lesson plan text, upload a lesson PDF, or paste a public lesson URL. ngram reads the objective, vocabulary, examples, activity steps, and wrap-up.
Objectives become the opening question, examples become visual beats and the lesson ends with a recap. For a physical concept, choose Machine anatomy with Opus 5.5 and describe the components and relationship students should understand.
Check the learner level, source facts, component relationships and narration before approving the plan. For technical illustrations, inspect the completed movement as well as the wording and request corrections in the project.
Export an MP4 for class pages, internal training, or social learning clips. Captions are burned in, and the same lesson can render in landscape, square, or vertical.
Output controls
The learning objective anchors the first scene, so viewers know what the lesson teaches before examples and activities begin.
Numbered steps, practice prompts, and checks for understanding become separate scenes instead of one long paragraph on screen.
Preserve approved wording for compliance or training lessons, or ask ngram to rewrite the explanation in simpler spoken language.
When the lesson has no footage, ngram can generate scene visuals and motion cards that support the example without falling back to a static slide.
Generate narration with an ElevenLabs or MiniMax voice, or use an approved team voice from the workspace voice library when available.
Captions are generated from the lesson script and burned into the video, so viewers can follow the explanation with sound off.
Logo, colors, fonts, motion style, approved phrases, and blocked phrases come from the active Brand Kit when your workspace has one.
Prepare a 16:9 class-page edit, a 1:1 feed edit, or a 9:16 review-clip edit from the lesson. Review the layout for each format before exporting one MP4.
The rest of ngram
Turns lesson objectives, examples, and activity notes into spoken narration and a scene plan. The lesson to video script stays editable before the render starts.
Learn moreCreates scene imagery for lessons that start as plain text or PDFs, so abstract ideas get visual support instead of a wall of bullets.
Learn moreAnimates definitions, diagrams, option cards, and recap frames. The motion guides attention through the lesson steps without a manual design pass.
Learn moreNarrates the approved lesson script with a selected voice, then regenerates when you simplify an explanation or change the order of a scene.
Learn moreBurned-in captions make lesson videos easier to replay, skim, and follow silently. Caption text follows the script you reviewed in the storyboard.
Learn moreKeeps every lesson video aligned with the organization's logo, colors, fonts, voice rules, and approved phrases when a workspace Brand Kit is active.
Learn moreUse cases
Start with a single lesson, not a whole course import. ngram turns the objective, examples, and activity flow into a narrated module students can replay.
See use caseUse Machine anatomy with Opus 5.5 when lesson notes describe a physical mechanism. Name the learner’s question and components, then explain their relationship through labeled movement.
See use casePaste a step-by-step lesson and convert each step into a tutorial scene with narration, captions, and a clear final recap.
See use caseWhen the full lecture is too long, use the written lesson summary as the source. ngram builds a shorter recap around the objective and key examples.
See use caseTraining teams can paste one lesson plan or SOP-style teaching note and get a branded training cut with voiceover and captions.
See use caseCreators can turn a teaching outline into a watchable lesson without recording a fresh talking-head take for every update.
See use caseCustomer success teams can convert product lesson notes into a training video customers can revisit after onboarding calls.
See use caseHR teams can turn one approved lesson script into a captioned internal training video, then revise the source text when policy changes.
See use caseOther converters
Lesson to video is the education-shaped version of ngram's text and document pipeline. Use it for one lesson plan, then switch source converters when the material lives in a different format.
Use docs-to-video when the source is a broader handbook, SOP, or multi-section document instead of a single lesson plan.
Open converterUse text-to-video when the source is a short explanation, prompt, or paragraph that does not need lesson-aware structure.
Open converterUse quiz-to-video when the source is a question list and answer key, and the output should reveal answers scene by scene.

After the lesson-to-video render lands
Open the rendered lesson video on the timeline, trim an example, replace a visual, or adjust a single scene without starting over.
Open toolCaptions are included in generated lesson videos; use this tool when a finished lesson needs a separate subtitle cleanup pass.
Open toolCut a longer lesson into a shorter recap or exam-review clip by trimming transcript lines instead of scrubbing the timeline.
Open toolTranslate a finished lesson video across captions, on-screen text, and voiceover when the same teaching material needs another language.
Open toolGenerating from scratch
When the lesson is still a rough idea
Start from a short teaching prompt and let ngram plan the lesson script, scenes, visuals, voiceover, and captions in one project.
Open toolUse a presenter-led format when the lesson needs an on-screen instructor rather than voiceover over motion graphics.
Open toolPaste a finished explanation and create a narrated video when you want the wording read closely rather than rewritten as a new lesson script.
Open toolIf the lesson already lives in a deck, convert the slides and speaker notes directly instead of copying the plan into a text field.
Open toolPolishing the source
Before the lesson becomes video
Turn a rough lesson outline into a cleaner narration script before converting it into a full video.
Open toolUse the broader text converter for a quick explanation, announcement, or training note that does not need lesson-specific sections.
Open toolGenerate a lesson thumbnail or missing concept visual, then drop it into the lesson video scene that needs more context.
Open toolTranscribe a teacher note, voice memo, or trainer explanation, clean up the transcript, then use it as the lesson-to-video source.
Open toolBuilt for teams
Turn one lesson plan, worksheet explanation, or recap note into a video students can watch again without asking for another live walkthrough.

How it compares
A slide recording captures the presenter. A template editor asks you to build scenes by hand. ngram starts from the lesson text, writes the narration, plans the storyboard, and keeps each scene editable before render.
| Feature | ngram | Manual slide recording | Template video editor | Avatar presenter tool |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Source material | Lesson text, lesson PDF, or public lesson URL | Presenter records while explaining slides | User copies lesson points into templates | Script is entered for the presenter to read |
| Lesson structure | Objective, examples, activity steps, and recap become separate scenes | Whatever the recording captures | Manual scene building | Linear narration unless the user splits scenes |
| Storyboard before render | Scene plan visible and editable before the video is generated | Review happens after recording | Template preview, manual edits | Preview depends on the selected avatar workflow |
| Voiceover | Generated from the approved lesson script | Teacher or trainer records live | User records or adds separate narration | Avatar voice reads the script |
| Visual support | AI visuals, motion graphics, captions, and recap frames tied to each scene | Slides and webcam feed | Template graphics selected manually | Presenter-led frame with optional visual inserts |
| Revising the lesson | Edit the source script or a single storyboard scene and regenerate | Re-record the affected section | Update scene by scene | Update script and regenerate the presenter video |
| Aspect ratios | Separate reviewed aspect-ratio edits from one lesson project | Usually tied to the recording setup | Manual reframe per export | Depends on template or avatar format |
| Best when | You have lesson text and want a branded, narrated video without recording | You want the teacher on camera | You want to design every scene manually | You want a presenter to read a finished script |
