A tutorial video walks a viewer through a process, step by step, so they can do it themselves. Educators, content creators, and internal trainers make them from slides, screen recordings, and plain text prompts. The examples below are real, normalized prompts people brought to ngram — copy one and swap the topic to start your own.

Input
Uploaded slides act as the scene blueprint. ngram converts each slide into a visual scene without inventing content.
Structure
Each slide maps to a numbered step. The explicit step-numbering instruction keeps the output scannable for viewers following along.
Tone
'Friendly and clear' steers the voiceover away from both overly casual and overly formal — useful for a broad YouTube audience.
Guardrail
Ending on a summary slide recaps the steps so viewers retain the sequence, a standard how-to convention that this prompt enforces explicitly.
Why it works
It gives ngram a clear input (slides), a clear structure (one step per scene), and a closing anchor (summary). The viewer knows exactly what they will learn and leaves having seen every step twice.
Prompts that list step numbers or section names produce tighter videos. Vague briefs leave ngram to infer structure, which adds revision time.
68% of tutorial prompts include a recording or URL. When ngram can see the actual UI or slides, it doesn't invent scenes that don't match your content.
New hires, YouTube beginners, and senior engineers need different pacing and vocabulary. One line saves three rounds of edits.
YouTube favors 60-second horizontal cuts. Instagram and LinkedIn work better in 30-second vertical or square. The channel decision drives aspect ratio and caption style.
How-to viewers often re-watch the last 10 seconds. A closing summary slide or recap caption gives them something to screenshot.
Only 14% of tutorial prompts include a pre-written script, because slides already carry the structure. If you have slides, pass those — ngram derives the voiceover from them.
