How it works
Four steps from an episode transcript to a published video.
No re-recording on camera, no waveform-over-cover-art trick, no scene-by-scene timeline work. Paste the transcript, approve the storyboard, ship a branded video and the clips that come with it.
Paste the transcript
Drop in the episode transcript or show notes. ngram pairs it with a generated voiceover when you don't have the recording handy. Direct upload for MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, and FLAC episode files up to 500 MB is coming soon.
ngram reads the transcript
Speaker turns, topic shifts, and the most quotable lines get parsed out of the text you pasted. That transcript becomes the script the storyboard hangs off. When audio upload lands, AssemblyAI will transcribe the recording into this same script.
ngram storyboards each segment
The agent gives every topic its own scene: AI imagery, motion text, B-roll, or a speaker card, then stamps your brand kit on every frame and caption.
Render the cut and the clips
Export the full episode in 16:9, 1:1, and 9:16 in one render, plus standalone short clips for the feed. Push to a /watch/ link or hand off to the editor.
Output controls
Smart defaults for episodes. Real knobs when the show needs them.
Transcript-bound scenes
Every scene is tied to a span of the transcript. Cut a tangent from the script and the matching visuals drop with it, no dragging clips on a timeline to keep the episode in sync.
Burned-in branded captions
Captions ride on every export by default, styled by the brand kit: font, weight, position, accent color. Switch to a sidecar .srt or turn them off per render.
A visual per topic
AI imagery, lower-thirds, and pull-quote cards swap automatically when the conversation moves to a new subject. No static cover art held over forty minutes of talk.
Episode clips for the feed
Pick the strongest 30 to 90 second exchanges and export each as a standalone vertical clip, same captions, same brand, ready for the social calendar.
Speaker cards for two-host shows
Name and title cards label who is speaking when the transcript marks a turn, so an interview reads clearly even with the cover art gone.
Three ratios per render
16:9 for YouTube, 1:1 for the LinkedIn feed, 9:16 for Reels and Shorts, smart-reframed from a single storyboard instead of three separate exports.
Translate the episode
Regenerate the spoken track in any ElevenLabs-supported language and re-render captions and on-screen text, so one episode reaches a second market.
Security and data handling
Talk to sales about security, access controls, and data handling for your team.
The rest of ngram
Podcast to video is the front door. These run the rest of the pipeline.
Captions
Burned-in branded captions on every cut, frame-aligned to the episode audio. The reason a podcast video earns watch time in a muted, autoplaying feed.
Learn moreAI Visuals
Scene-matched imagery generated from the transcript, so each topic in the episode gets its own visual treatment instead of the same cover art on a loop.
Learn moreBrand Kit
Logo, fonts, colors, intro, and outro applied across every scene, so the episode video and your launch videos read as one show and one brand.
Learn moreMulti-format Export
Reframe the same episode storyboard into a 16:9 YouTube cut, a 1:1 LinkedIn post, and 9:16 Shorts in one render, instead of re-cropping the show three times.
Learn moreScript Generation
Once the episode is transcribed, the agent tightens the talk into a publishable script: a hook on the open, a clear body, a closing CTA for the show.
Learn moreTranslation
Translate the transcript, regenerate the voiceover, and re-render captions, turning one English episode into a localized video for every key market.

Coming from a different source? There's a converter for that.
Same transcribe-then-storyboard pipeline, different inputs. Podcast to video shares the brand kit, security model, and render stack with every other converter in the family.
The broader trip. Any recording, voice note, webinar audio, or customer call, transcribed, storyboarded, and rendered into a captioned branded video.
Open converterWhen the episode is really a long recording you want sliced. One file in, 8 to 12 standalone short clips out, captions and brand applied to each.
Open converterThe reverse trip. Pull a clean MP3 or WAV out of a video recording when you need an audio episode for the feed or a transcript pass.
