X Thread to Video for giving a numbered idea a complete visual story
Use the complete thread as the narrative source, then expand the examples and visual context behind it. Create one coherent branded video and related cuts without reducing the story to screenshots.
Video generation uses credits. Review your estimate in ngram. MP4 downloads require Basic or higher.

How it works
Four steps from a paste-buffer X thread to a video worth posting.
x.com links aren't a readable source, so the flow runs on the text you already wrote. Paste the thread, and the tweets become a script, and the script becomes a storyboard you can argue with before anything renders.
Paste the thread text
Drop the whole X thread in, up to 10,000 words. Each numbered tweet reads as a beat, so the order you built the argument in survives into the scene plan. x.com and twitter.com links are blocked as sources, so the page reads the words, not the platform.
The agent rewrites it as a script
ngram finds the hook tweet, the supporting points, and the closing line, then tightens the pacing for video. The opener becomes the cold open, each numbered point becomes a scene, and the last tweet becomes the CTA.
Review the plan containing the script before render
Every scene shows the line of script, the visual direction, and the duration. Cut a weak tweet, sharpen the hook, swap a visual, or ask for a 30-second cut in plain language, and the change ripples back through the script.
Review and export the video
Review the X thread 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 thread. Real knobs when you need them.
Script-first review
Read the full script the thread became before any visual is generated. Drop a filler tweet, rewrite the hook, or change the CTA in plain English, and every edit re-flows the scene plan downstream.
Tweet order becomes scene order
A numbered thread is already a structure. ngram maps tweet 1 to the cold open, each numbered point to its own scene, and the wrap-up tweet to the close, so the video argues in the sequence you posted.
AI Visuals per scene
Each scene gets a brand-matched image or short generative clip tied to that tweet's point. No keyword-matched stock footage dragging the thread back into generic territory.
Brand Kit on every frame
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 video of a viral thread looks like the rest of your channel, not like a template.
Voiceover from any saved voice
Narrate the thread in a default ngram voice, your cloned founder voice, or a multilingual ElevenLabs voice. Pace and tone follow the script you approved in review.
Captions in your brand font
Turn captions on before export, with styling from the Brand Kit's caption preset. Reword a line in the script and that scene re-renders with the new caption. Captions start off; select your Brand Kit during creation to use its styling.
Prepare each channel edit separately
Set the intended channel and aspect ratio for the X thread 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 thread text and any fetched re-publish URLs 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 thread that a template builder doesn't.
Script Generation
Reads the whole X thread and rewrites it as a hook-body-CTA video script. Not one slide per tweet, but a tightened argument that keeps the line that earned the engagement and cuts the reply-bait filler.
Learn moreAI Visuals
Each scene of the X thread video gets a brand-matched image or short generative clip tied to that tweet's point. The visuals follow what you actually argued, not a keyword-to-stock-clip lookup.
Learn moreBrand Kit
Logo, fonts, colors and motion style applied to every scene built from your thread. The next thread you convert comes out matching, so a whole series of X-thread videos stays on-brand.
Learn moreAI Voiceover
Narrate the thread in an ElevenLabs voice, your own cloned voice, or another supported language. The voiceover reads the script you approved in the storyboard, line for line, instead of a robotic per-tweet read.
Learn moreCaptions
Burned-in captions styled to your Brand Kit, generated from the thread's script. Muted viewers in the feed still read the take you posted, word for word.
Learn moreConvert the finished X thread video
Finish the X thread video in Studio and download one MP4. When a site, player, or handoff requires MOV, WebM, or MKV, convert that file separately in Video Converter, one input and one output per job.

Where an X-thread video earns its second life.
Repost the founder thread as a video
The thread that did numbers on X becomes a 60 to 90 second branded video for LinkedIn and the website. The argument stays; the format changes, so the same take reaches people who never saw the original.
See use caseTurn the thread into a LinkedIn video post
Paste the thread, render the 1:1 cut, and ride the reach LinkedIn gives native video, without rewriting the argument or hiring an editor to cut it.
See use caseSpin one thread into short-form clips
A long thread holds three or four standalone points. ngram can cut each into its own 9:16 clip, so one thread feeds a week of branded social posts instead of a single feed slot.
See use caseRun the hook tweet as a video ad
Paste the strongest tweet from the thread, let ngram build the visuals, and ship. The line that already proved it lands becomes the ad. Prepare and review each channel edit separately before exporting one MP4.
See use caseLaunch threads become launch videos
The launch thread you wrote tweet by tweet is already the script. Convert it to a branded launch video and publish across the channels you ship in, instead of letting the thread scroll away.
See use caseFeature threads become feature videos
Paste the feature-drop thread, get a 60-second video with motion graphics and a brand intro. The same words ship as a thread and a video, from one source, in one render.
See use caseTest thread hooks as paid video
Each numbered point is a different hook. Prepare and review each channel edit separately before exporting one MP4.
See use caseEmbed the thread video in your newsletter
Send the video version of the thread inline so subscribers who missed it on X still get the take. Higher recall than a screenshot, and no dead link to a platform they don't open.
See use caseOther converters
Starting from a tweet, a forum thread, or a chunk of writing? There's a converter for each.
X thread 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.
When the source is a single tweet, not a full thread. Paste one sharp take and ngram storyboards it into a branded video with the same scene planner you use here.
Open converterFor threads off X too: a Reddit discussion, a Hacker News chain, or a support-forum thread. Same engine, broadened to any social or community thread you paste in.
Open converterWhen the source is plain writing rather than a numbered thread. Paste a script, a draft, or any prose and ngram runs the same script-and-storyboard flow.

Sharpen the thread before. Edit the video after.
Editing the video further
Take the X-thread video past the first cut
Video Editor
Re-cut the rendered X-thread video, drop a scene, or swap a visual. The converted output opens straight in the timeline editor with the thread's script attached.
Open toolVideo Cutter
Pull a 15-second teaser from the full thread video for a pre-roll or paid ad. Trim by transcript line, so you cut to the exact tweet, not a timeline guess.
Open toolAdd Subtitles to Video
Turn on captions when you want them in the video; this exports an external .srt for YouTube SEO or for embeds that want a switchable caption track on the thread video.
Open toolVideo Translator
Translate the thread video's script, captions, and voiceover into another supported language, with lip sync optional. Review and render each localized version separately.
Open toolGenerating from scratch

Open toolText to Speech Video
A straight read-through of the thread text over brand visuals, with no script rewrite, for when you want the tweets narrated exactly as posted.
Open toolPolishing the source first
Tighten the thread before you convert it
Video Script Generator
If the thread rambles, tighten it into a sharper script first, then convert that for a punchier, shorter video instead of a tweet-by-tweet read.

How it compares
If you've been turning X threads into video some other way.
Most workflows screen-record the thread or drop each tweet onto a stock-clip timeline in Lumen5 or Pictory, scene by scene. ngram reads the thread as one argument, writes a script, and lets you review the plan containing the script before render, with the Brand Kit applied per scene, so the video reads like your channel and not a slideshow of screenshots.
