Screenplay to Video for seeing the story before full production
Use the screenplay as the source for scene order, dialogue, and dramatic intent. Build a reviewable video draft that helps the team evaluate pacing and direction before committing to full production.
Video generation uses credits. Review your estimate in ngram. MP4 downloads require Basic or higher.

How it works
Four steps from screenplay pages to a video draft you can judge.
The workflow starts with the words on the page. ngram plans the video before it renders, so you can change the scene order, narration, and visual direction while it is still cheap to edit.
Paste the scene pages
Drop in a short screenplay excerpt, scripted brand story, concept scene, or launch-film treatment. Scene headings, action lines, dialogue, and parentheticals become source structure.
Build the scene plan
ngram separates narration, dialogue, visual beats, setting cues, and CTA moments. The agent turns those into a storyboard with scene timing and visual direction.
Review before render
Read every planned scene, rewrite lines, cut beats, change the tone, or ask for a product-marketing version. The render waits until the storyboard is approved.
Render the video draft
Export a branded MP4 with voiceover, captions, scene visuals, and channel-ready aspect ratios. Open the project in the editor when one shot needs a tighter cut.
Output controls
Controls built for scripts that need judgment, not blind automation.
Scene-heading awareness
INT., EXT., location shifts, and beat breaks become storyboard boundaries. ngram does not flatten a screenplay into one long narration block.
Dialogue or narrator mode
Keep dialogue as quoted lines, turn action into voiceover, or ask the agent to rewrite the page as a narrator-led explainer for business audiences.
Storyboard review first
Every scene shows the planned script, visual direction, and pacing before render. You can revise the plan in chat instead of fixing a finished video after the fact.
AI visuals per beat
Generate scene art, product metaphors, or branded visual fills tied to the screenplay beat. Regenerate one scene without restarting the whole project.
Brand kit, not generic cinema
Apply workspace logo, colors, type, motion style and approved phrases so the screenplay-to-video output fits a campaign, pitch, or product story. Choose saved intro or outro slides for each video that needs them.
Voiceover from the approved script
Generate narration after you approve the lines. Use a saved team voice, a selected AI voice, or a localized voiceover when the cut needs another language.
Captions from the final wording
Burned-in captions follow the approved script. If you revise a line, the caption and voiceover stay connected to the same scene.
Long scripts stay under review
Split longer material into scenes or acts and approve each storyboard. This is a reviewed draft workflow, not a replacement for production review.
The rest of ngram
The product pieces that make screenplay to video workable.
Script generation
Reads screenplay formatting and turns the page into a video script, scene plan, and CTA. Dialogue can stay intact, while action lines become narration or visual direction.
Learn moreAI visuals
Creates scene imagery from the screenplay beat and brand direction, so a pitch scene, product moment, or concept shot has visuals tied to the approved storyboard.
Learn moreMotion graphics
Adds lower-thirds, callouts, text overlays, and transitions to screenplay-driven scenes. Useful when the video needs to explain a product or campaign idea, not mimic a full film shoot.
Learn moreBrand kit
Applies your logo, colors, fonts, motion style, and approved language across every scene generated from the screenplay pages.
Learn moreAI voiceover
Narrates action lines or revised voiceover from the storyboard you approved. Swap voice, tone, or pronunciation without recording the screenplay read-through again.
Learn moreCaptions
Burns caption text into every screenplay-to-video export so social viewers can follow dialogue, narration, and scene beats with sound off.

See use caseOther converters
Pick the converter that matches the source you have.
Screenplay to video shares the same script, storyboard, brand, and export pipeline as nearby text-source converters. Choose the sibling that matches how structured the source material is.
Best when the source is already a finished video script with scene notes, narration, or voiceover lines that should stay close to the original.
Open converterUse this when the screenplay already has visual panels or shot frames. ngram animates the panels and keeps the beat order intact.
Open converterUse text-to-video when the source is a rough paragraph, campaign note, or product idea instead of screenplay-formatted pages.
