Prompt to Video: expand one idea into a branded video draft
Describe the video you want in a sentence or a short paragraph. ngram's agent reads the intent, writes the script, and builds a storyboard you can edit in plain language before anything renders.

How it works
Four steps from a one-line prompt to a video you'd actually post.
You don't need a finished script or a wall of copy. A sentence of intent is enough for the agent to draft the script, and the script becomes a storyboard you can argue with before anything renders.
Type the prompt
One line or a short paragraph: what the video is about, who it's for, how long, and where it's going. The agent treats audience, channel, and goal as part of the prompt, not afterthoughts.
The agent expands it into a script
ngram turns the idea into a hook-body-CTA script tuned to the audience and channel you named. A vague prompt gets a sharp first draft; a detailed prompt gets followed closely. Nothing is generated blind.
Review the storyboard before render
Every scene shows the line of script, the visual direction, and the duration. Rewrite the hook, drop a scene, change the CTA, or ask for a tighter cut in plain language, and the script re-flows.
Export in three ratios
One render produces 16:9 for embeds, 1:1 for the feed, and 9:16 for vertical, with captions burned in and your Brand Kit applied. Re-prompt for a second variant without starting over.
Output controls
Smart defaults from the prompt. Real knobs when you need them.
Intent-aware script drafting
The agent reads audience, channel, length, and goal straight out of your prompt. "60-second LinkedIn teaser for CFOs" and "3-minute onboarding walkthrough" produce different scripts from the same product.
Script-first review
Read the full script the prompt produced before any visual is generated. Cut a paragraph, change a hook, or rewrite the CTA in plain English. Every edit re-flows the scene plan downstream.
AI Visuals per scene
Each scene gets a brand-matched image or short generative clip tied to that line of script. The visuals follow the meaning of your prompt, not a keyword-matched stock footage library.
Brand Kit on every frame
Logo, fonts, colors, motion style, intro and outro pulled from your saved Brand Kit. The 50th prompt-to-video render looks as on-brand as the first.
Voiceover from any saved voice
Read in a default ngram voice, your cloned founder voice, or a multilingual ElevenLabs voice. Pace and tone follow the script the prompt produced and you approved.
Captions in your brand font
Auto-generated captions burned into every export, styled with the Brand Kit's caption preset. Edit a word in the script and that scene re-renders with the new caption.
Three ratios in one render
16:9 for website embeds, 1:1 for the feed, 9:16 for vertical. Smart reframing keeps the headline on-screen across every aspect ratio from the same prompt.
Data handling for your team
Your prompts, fetched URLs, and generated drafts live in your workspace, and you can delete your account and trigger a full data purge from Settings. Talk to sales about security, access controls, and data handling for your team.
The rest of ngram
What ngram does with a one-line prompt that a template builder can't.
Script Generation
Reads a one-line prompt and writes the full hook-body-CTA video script for you. You bring the idea; the agent brings the structure, paced for video instead of left as a blank scene list.
Learn moreAI Visuals
Each scene of the prompt-to-video render gets a brand-matched image or short generative clip tied to that scene's meaning. The visuals interpret your prompt, not a stock-clip keyword table.
Learn moreBrand Kit
Logo, fonts, colors, motion style, intro and outro applied to every scene the prompt generates. The same kit drives every future prompt-to-video, so the output stays on-brand at volume.
Learn moreAI Voiceover
Narrate the generated script in an ElevenLabs voice, your own cloned voice, or any supported language. The voiceover reads the script your prompt produced, line for line.
Learn moreMotion Graphics
Animated lower-thirds, callouts, and text overlays stamped onto the scenes the prompt produced. A stat or a feature name from your idea lands on-screen, where the voiceover alone would miss it.
Learn moreMulti-format Export
One prompt in, three ratios out. 16:9 for embeds, 1:1 for the feed, 9:16 for vertical, with captions reframed for each surface in a single render.

Eight places a quick prompt earns a video in the funnel.
Brief the agent, get a marketing video back
Skip the blank editor. Type the campaign idea, the audience, and the angle, and ngram drafts an on-brand marketing video you review before render instead of building from a template.
See use caseTurn a one-line hook into a video ad
Paste your strongest hook as the prompt, name the ratio, and ship 9:16 and 1:1 creative for paid social the same afternoon. Test five hooks from five prompts before lunch.
See use casePrompt a short-form clip for the feed
An idea jotted in Slack becomes a 30-second branded clip. Describe the point you want to make, get a captioned vertical cut back, and post it without opening a timeline.
See use caseFounder ideas become founder videos
The thought you'd normally type as a LinkedIn post becomes a 60-second branded video instead. Prompt the agent with the take; it writes the script and builds the scenes.
See use caseExplain a concept from a prompt
Describe what you need explained and who it's for. ngram structures it into a hook, the steps, and a close, then renders an explainer the website and the support team can both reuse.
See use caseA launch idea, ready for Product Hunt
Prompt the agent with what you're launching and why it matters. Get a tight 60-second launch video with brand intro, ready to pin to the listing and post across your channels.
See use caseTease the thing before it ships
A one-line prompt about the upcoming feature becomes a short teaser. Enough to build anticipation, branded from the first frame, without pulling a designer onto the pre-launch.
See use casePrompt the hero video for a landing page
Describe the page's promise and the agent drafts the 30-to-60-second hero video that sits above the fold. Re-prompt for a shorter cut when the page layout changes.

Already have the words written down? Pick the converter that matches your source.
Prompt to video is the entry point when you start with an idea, not a draft. Once the words exist, every converter below rides the same script, storyboard, Brand Kit, and three-ratio export pipeline.
When the writing is already done. Paste a finished script, a draft, or a chunk of copy and ngram works from your words instead of expanding a one-line prompt into them.
Open converterWhen the context lives behind a link. ngram fetches the page, strips nav and ads, and feeds the body to the same scene planner the prompt route uses.
Open converterWhen the idea is locked in a PDF, like a one-pager, brief, or release note. ngram extracts the text and runs the same script-and-storyboard flow.

Editing the video further
Take the prompt-to-video output past the first cut
Video Editor
Re-cut the rendered prompt-to-video, drop a scene, or swap a visual. The generated output opens directly in the timeline editor with its script attached.
Open toolAdd Subtitles to Video
Captions are burned in by default; this tool exports an external .srt when an embed or upload destination wants a switchable caption track.
Open toolVideo Cutter
Pull a 15-second teaser out of the full prompt-to-video for a pre-roll or paid ad. Trim by transcript line, not by dragging a timeline.
Open toolVideo Translator
Translate the rendered prompt-to-video into any supported language, lip sync optional. One prompt gets a multilingual cut without a second render pass.

Other ways to start without a finished script
AI Video Generator
The same idea-first entry point, framed as the full generator. Brief the agent and it routes the prompt to the storyboard reviewer you'd reach here.
Open toolVideo Script Generator
Want to lock the wording before the visuals? Generate just the script from your prompt first, edit it, then send the approved text into the render flow.
Open toolAI Avatar Video Generator
Have a talking-head avatar deliver the script your prompt produced, on camera, instead of voiceover over visuals. Same idea, presenter-led.

When you want a plain read-through of exact wording over brand visuals, with no script rewrite. Useful once the prompt has settled into final copy.
Open toolPolishing the source first
Sharpen the idea before you convert it
AI Image Generator
Pre-generate the hero thumbnail for the prompt-to-video output on the same Brand Kit, so the social card and the video's first frame match.
Open toolURL to Video
If the context for your idea already lives on a page, point ngram at the URL instead of typing it all into the prompt. Same scene planner, less typing.
Open toolAudio to Text
Talked the idea through in a voice memo? Transcribe it, trim it into a clean prompt, then feed that into the prompt-to-video flow.
Open toolVideo Script Generator

How it compares
If you've been using something else to turn a prompt into video.
Most prompt-to-video tools generate a clip the moment you hit enter, then make you re-prompt to fix anything. Pictory and Lumen5 match each line to a stock-clip library scene by scene. ngram expands the prompt into a script and a storyboard you can argue with before render, and applies your Brand Kit per scene, so the output reads like your idea, not a template.
