Text to Video for briefs and scripts that need a complete visual story
Bring the approved words and the context behind them: audience, product, evidence, and visual direction. Turn that source into a complete branded project you can revise and adapt across the campaign.

How it works
Four steps from raw text to a video you'd actually post.
No template picker, no stock-clip keyword bingo, no slide-builder pretending to be a video editor. The text you already wrote becomes the script, and the script becomes a storyboard you can argue with before anything renders.
Paste the text or drop a URL
Script, prompt, release notes, product copy, blog draft, internal update. Up to 10,000 words. If your source is on a public URL instead, paste the link and ngram fetches the body with Firecrawl.
The agent rewrites it as a video script
ngram reads the structure, identifies the hook, body, and CTA, and tightens the pacing for video. Headings become scene breaks, paragraphs become narration, lists become callouts. Your phrasing survives where it earns the cut.
Review the storyboard before render
Every scene shows the line of script, the visual direction, and the duration. Drop a section, rewrite a hook, swap a visual, or ask for a CFO cut in plain language, and every change ripples back into the script.
Review and export the video
Review the text 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
Smart defaults from the text. Real knobs when you need them.
Script-first review
Read the full script 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.
Scene planner that reads structure
H1s, H2s, bullet lists, and even one-paragraph dumps all map to a hook + body + CTA storyboard. The agent re-paces longer text into video-friendly chunks instead of one slide per sentence.
AI Visuals per scene
Each scene gets a brand-matched image or short generative clip tied to that paragraph's meaning. No keyword-matched stock footage dragging the video into generic territory.
Brand Kit on every frame
Logo, fonts, colors, motion style, intro and outro pulled from your saved Brand Kit. The 50th text-to-video 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 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.
Prepare each channel edit separately
Set the intended channel and aspect ratio for the text 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 text, 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 to a chunk of text that template builders don't.
Script Generation
Reads your pasted text and rewrites it as a hook-body-CTA video script. Not a slide-by-slide echo of your paragraphs, but a script you'd recognise as the same argument, paced for video.
Learn moreAI Visuals
Each scene of the text-to-video gets a brand-matched image or short generative clip tied to that scene's meaning. The visuals follow the script, not a keyword-to-stock-clip table.
Learn moreBrand Kit
Logo, fonts, colors, motion style, intro and outro applied to every scene generated from your text. The same kit drives every future text-to-video render, so output stays on-brand at scale.
Learn moreAI Voiceover
Narrate the script in an ElevenLabs voice, your own cloned voice, or any of the supported languages. The voiceover reads the script you approved in the storyboard step, line for line.
Learn moreCaptions
Burned-in captions styled to your Brand Kit, generated from the same script. LinkedIn and approved social channels viewers on mute still read the words you pasted in.
Learn moreConvert the finished text video
The text video leaves Studio as a single MP4. Use Video Converter afterward to make one MOV, WebM, or MKV file; it is a separate one-file, one-output step.

Eight places a text-to-video earns a spot in the funnel.
Turn every script into a LinkedIn video post
Paste the post copy, render the 1:1 cut, and ride the engagement LinkedIn gives native video, without hiring an editor or rewriting the argument.
See use caseLaunch announcements straight from the launch doc
The launch brief you already wrote is the script. Convert it to a branded launch video in 60–90 seconds, then publish across the channels you ship in.
See use caseRun a one-paragraph hook as a video ad
Paste the strongest line of copy and let ngram build the visuals. Prepare and review each channel edit separately before exporting one MP4.
See use caseRepurpose copy into short-form social clips
Tweet drafts, newsletter intros, and slide notes that never got finished: paste each one, get a 30-second branded clip back, post it without rewriting.
See use caseTurn a how-to draft into an explainer
How-to writing already has hook, steps, and CTA. ngram lifts that structure straight into an explainer video the support team and the website both can use.
See use casePMM feature posts become feature videos
Paste the announcement, get a 60-second feature video with motion graphics and brand intro. Prepare and review each channel edit separately before exporting one MP4.
See use caseFounder essays earn a video version
Long-form notes from the founder become 90-second branded videos for LinkedIn and X. The argument stays; the medium changes.
See use caseEmbed a text-to-video summary in your newsletter
Send the video version inline so subscribers who never click the article still get the message. Higher recall, fewer dead clicks.

Text to video is one node on ngram's script and storyboard pipeline. Every text-source converter on this list shares the same scene planner, Brand Kit, and review step. Prepare each channel version as a separate edit.

Open converterTuned for blog posts with H2s, H3s, and bullet lists. Same engine as text-to-video, with extra parsing for editorial article structure.
Open converterWhen the text is locked in a PDF, like release notes, SOPs, or sales briefs. ngram extracts the body and runs the same script-and-storyboard flow.

How it compares
If you've been using something else for text to video.
Synthesia centers the avatar; the script lives in a side panel and the brand controls are template-level. Pictory and Lumen5 match each paragraph to a stock-clip library, scene-by-scene. ngram reads the structure, plans the storyboard you can argue with before render, and applies the Brand Kit per scene, so the output reads like your writing, not like a template.
