The story

From manual assembly to a storyboard first

This is a small education story from one student project, not a university-wide software rollout or endorsement. The project needed a marketing promotional video and a clearer way to plan the message before production.

  1. The old way

    Before ngram, the project came together through Canva and FFMPEG. That tool mix could produce a video, but the hard part came before editing: deciding the script and planning the structure.

  2. The switch

    Ease of use

  3. What changed

    The biggest change is speed in the early planning work. SNair described the new promo-video process as much faster and more accurate than before, with hours of time saved. The response did not give a clean publishable number, so that time savings stays qualitative.

How they use ngram

A typical project, start to finish

Step 01

Start with the school project

The project begins with the promotional message SNair needs to communicate.

Step 02

Build the storyboard

ngram turns the idea into a video plan, so the script and sequence are visible before production.

Step 03

Create the promo video

The project moves from plan to marketing promotional video without stitching the whole process together in separate tools.

The outcomes

Less planning drag

The script and plan no longer have to start from a blank page.

Storyboard before production

The project has a structure to review before the final video is made.

Faster promo work

SNair described the result as much faster for promotional video work, with hours of time saved kept as a qualitative outcome.
