Script to Video for turning approved words into a complete branded project
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
Four steps from a written script to a video that keeps your words.
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.
Paste the script or drop a URL
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.
The agent maps your script to scenes
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.
Review the storyboard before render
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 and export the video
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
Your script is the source. Real knobs when a scene needs them.
Script fidelity, not a rewrite
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 mapping from your structure
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.
AI Visuals per scene
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.
Brand Kit on every frame
Logo, fonts, colors, motion style, intro and outro pulled from your saved Brand Kit. The tenth script you convert looks as on-brand as the first.
Voiceover that reads your lines
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.
Captions from the script text
Auto-generated captions burned into every export, styled with the Brand Kit's caption preset and drawn from your script lines. Change a word in a scene and the caption for that scene re-renders to match.
Prepare each channel edit separately
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.
Data handling for your team
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
What ngram does with a written script that a slide builder doesn't.
Script Generation
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 moreAI Visuals
Each 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 moreBrand Kit
Logo, fonts, colors, motion style, intro and outro 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 moreAI Voiceover
The 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 moreCaptions & Subtitles
Burned-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 moreConvert the finished script video
Download 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.
Learn moreUse cases
Eight kinds of script that earn a video the day you finish writing them.
Turn a finished explainer script into a video
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.
See use caseConvert a training script scene-by-scene
Onboarding and enablement scripts are written as numbered steps for a reason. ngram keeps that order, narrates each step in your wording, and exports a training video your team actually finishes.
See use caseShip the launch script as a launch video
The launch script you wrote for the announcement is the script for the video too. Convert it into a branded launch video in 60 to 90 seconds, then publish across the channels you ship in.
See use caseRun your ad script as video creative
Paste the ad script you tested in copy, keep the hook word for word, and let ngram build the visuals around it. Prepare and review each channel edit separately before exporting one MP4.
See use caseSend a scripted pitch as a short video
A rep writes a tight 30-second pitch script for a named account. ngram turns it into a branded clip that reads the script line for line, ready to drop into the outbound email.
See use casePost a written script as a LinkedIn video
Wrote the post as a script with beats and a closing line? Render the 1:1 cut that speaks those beats and ride the reach LinkedIn gives native video, no editor in the loop.
See use caseBatch short scripts into social clips
A folder of 30-second scripts becomes a folder of branded clips. Paste each script, keep its lines, get a vertical clip back without rewriting a single word.
See use caseTurn a YouTube script into a finished video
The video script you outlined for the channel becomes the storyboard. ngram holds your sections and narration, so the cut matches the script you planned the episode around.

Source isn't a written script? Pick the converter that matches your input.
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

Video Editor
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 toolAdd Subtitles to Video
Captions burn in by default; this tool exports an external .srt from your script lines for video SEO or for embeds that want a switchable caption track.
Open toolVideo Cutter
Pull 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 toolVideo Translator
Translate the video's script, captions, and voiceover into a supported language, with lip sync optional. Review and render each localized version separately.

Open toolText to Speech Video
Want 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 toolAI Avatar Video Generator
Have a talking-head avatar read your script on camera instead of voiceover-over-visuals. Same lines, presented by a presenter.
