Keep the approved message as the backbone, then build the scenes, voice, captions, and brand around it. Continue editing the complete project when the script or audience changes.

How it works
You already did the hard part. The script has the hook, the scenes, and the lines you want said. ngram reads that structure instead of overwriting it, so the storyboard you review is your script, mapped to scenes you can argue with before render.
A finished video script with scene breaks, narration lines, and voiceover copy. Up to 10,000 words. If the script lives on a published doc, paste the link instead and ngram fetches the body with Firecrawl.
ngram reads your scene headers and narration as the storyboard's spine. Each line of script becomes a scene with visual direction and timing. It paces for video without rewriting your lines, so the words you approved are the words on screen.
Every scene shows the script line, the visual direction, and the duration. Reorder a scene, swap a visual, tighten a line, or ask for a 60-second cut in plain language, and the change flows back into the script you started with.
Review the script video for its intended channel, including the crop and caption placement, then export one MP4 from Studio. Prepare and review another aspect ratio as a separate edit.
Output controls
The narration the video speaks is the script you pasted, line for line. ngram maps your lines to scenes and paces them for video, but it does not paraphrase your wording away. Edit a line in the storyboard and that scene re-renders with your new words.
Scene headers, numbered shots, and a voiceover column all map straight onto the storyboard. A two-column script (visual | narration) lines up scene-for-scene; a prose script gets chunked at its natural beats. Either way the scene order is yours.
Each scene gets a brand-matched image or short generative clip tied to what that line of script is saying. No keyword-matched stock footage that fights the tone you wrote into the script.
Logo, fonts, colors and motion style pulled from your saved Brand Kit. Choose saved intro or outro slides for each video that needs them. The tenth script you convert looks as on-brand as the first.
The narration column of your script is read by a default ngram voice, your cloned founder voice, or a multilingual ElevenLabs voice. Pace and emphasis follow the lines you approved in the storyboard.
Turn captions on before export to display the words from your script. Change a word in a scene and the caption for that scene re-renders to match. Captions start off; select your Brand Kit during creation to use its styling.
Set the intended channel and aspect ratio for the script video, then review the crop, caption placement, and CTA before exporting one MP4. Prepare another channel version as a separate edit.
Your pasted scripts, fetched URLs, and uploaded 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
Already have the script? ngram works from your draft instead of rewriting it. When a scene is thin, the same engine that drafts scripts from scratch can extend just that line, so the script-to-video stays your voice with the gaps filled.
Learn moreEach line of your script gets a brand-matched image or short generative clip that matches what that scene actually says. The visuals follow your written direction, not a stock-clip lookup table.
Learn moreLogo, fonts, colors and motion style applied to every scene built from your script. The same kit drives every future script-to-video render, so output stays on-brand at scale.
Learn moreThe narration column of your script gets read in an ElevenLabs voice, your cloned voice, or a supported language. The voiceover speaks the lines you wrote, scene by scene, not a paraphrase of them.
Learn moreBurned-in captions styled to your Brand Kit, generated from your script lines. Viewers watching on mute read the exact words you scripted, not an auto-transcription that drifts.
Learn moreDownload the script video from Studio as one MP4 first. If the next system needs MOV, WebM, or MKV, send that file through Video Converter in a separate one-file, one-output job.

Your explainer script already has the hook, the steps, and the payoff. Paste it and ngram maps each line to a scene, so the explainer ships the same day the script is signed off.

Script to video is one node on ngram's script and storyboard pipeline. Every text-source converter here shares the same scene planner, Brand Kit, and storyboard review. Prepare each channel version as a separate edit.
When the source is raw writing rather than a structured script, like launch copy, a draft, or release notes. ngram rewrites it into a video script first, then runs the same storyboard flow you use here.
Open converterWhen the script or copy already lives behind a link. ngram fetches the page, strips nav and ads, and feeds the body to the same scene planner that maps your scripts.
Open converterWhen the script is locked in a PDF, like a shooting script, SOP, or sales brief. ngram extracts the text and runs the same script-and-storyboard flow.

Editing the video further
Take the script-to-video output past the first cut
Re-cut the rendered script-to-video, drop a scene, or swap a visual. The output opens in the timeline editor with your script attached, so edits stay tied to the line they came from.
Open toolTurn on captions when you want them in the video; this tool exports an external .srt from your script lines for video SEO or for embeds that want a switchable caption track.
Open toolPull a 15-second teaser out of the full script-to-video for a pre-roll or ad. Trim by script line, not by dragging a timeline.
Open toolTranslate the video's script, captions, and voiceover into a supported language, with lip sync optional. Review and render each localized version separately.
Open toolGenerating from scratch
If you don't have a script written yet
No script written yet? Generate one from a short brief first, then bring it here so the script-to-video flow turns those lines into scenes.
Open toolSkip the writing step entirely. Brief the agent in a prompt and the script is generated on the way to the same storyboard reviewer you use for pasted scripts.
Open toolWant a straight read of your script over brand visuals with no scene rework? This is the lean path: your lines, narrated, on-brand, no avatar.
Open toolHave a talking-head avatar read your script on camera instead of voiceover-over-visuals. Same lines, presented by a presenter.
Open toolPolishing the source first
Sharpen the script before you convert it
Script already published on a doc or page? Skip the paste step and let ngram fetch it directly, with the same scene planner and fewer steps.
Open toolRecorded the script as a voice memo? Transcribe it first, clean up the lines, then paste the script into the converter.
Open toolAudition a voice on a single line of your script before you commit. Lock the read you want, then convert the full script-to-video against it.
Open toolPre-generate the thumbnail for your script-to-video on the same Brand Kit, so the social card and the video's first frame match.
Open toolBuilt for teams

How it compares
Synthesia centers the avatar and treats your script as speech for it. Pictory and Lumen5 match each line to a stock-clip library, scene by scene. ngram reads the scene structure you wrote, builds a storyboard you can argue with before render, and keeps your narration intact, so the video reads like the script you signed off, not a template's interpretation of it.
