The short version

What a security explainer video is

A security explainer video is a short clip — usually 30 to 60 seconds — that walks a buyer through one workflow: how a threat is detected, ranked, or stopped. Security marketing teams make them for YouTube, product pages, and sales follow-ups. The examples below are real, normalized prompts people submitted to ngram; they show what the format actually looks like in practice.

Bank threat intelligence workflow
prompt

Create a 30-second explainer video for a cybersecurity threat intelligence workflow targeting a bank. The workflow ranks risk from multiple threat actors. Use our product URL as the source. Motion-graphics style, professional tone. End on the logo.

01

Inputs

One product URL. No script, no screenshots — ngram fetches the page, reads the workflow, and builds the storyboard from it.

02

Structure

Implicit problem (threat actors) → workflow demonstration (ranking) → outcome (risk contained) → logo. The URL drives the order; the marketer only specifies tone and audience.

03

Tone

"Professional" — the right call for banking buyers who respond to authority over personality. No jargon flourish, no hype.

04

Guardrail

Audience is named: banks. That single word changes the script's vocabulary, the visual pace, and how risks are framed. Without it, ngram writes for a generic security buyer.

Why it works

It hands ngram a real workflow URL and three constraints (duration, style, audience), then gets out of the way. Security marketers who try to script everything up front end up with stiff, over-specified videos. This brief gives enough context to be accurate without over-directing the production.

Playbook

What makes a strong security explainer

Name your audience — specifically

"Banking security teams" produces a different script from "enterprise buyers." The more specific the audience, the more accurate the vocabulary and risk framing.

Give ngram a URL, not a script

86% of these prompts attach a product URL. ngram reads the page and builds the storyboard — a pre-written script usually produces stiffer output than a good URL plus intent.

One workflow per video

Thirty seconds covers one threat, one ranking system, or one detection path. Trying to cover the full platform in a 30s clip loses the viewer after the second concept.

State the visual style

Motion-graphics is the top request in this cluster. If you want a different look — realistic screen recording, clean typography-only, talking head — say so or you'll get the default.

Before/after beats description

The phishing awareness prompt works because it shows a comparison, not just a claim. Two states side by side land faster than narrated explanation in a security context.
