The explanation is written. Making the video is another job.
Your source material already has the facts. To teach it on video, someone still has to write the narration, decide what to show, and build the scenes.
A document needs a different rhythm on screen
The reader can scan a page. A viewer needs a sequence that introduces the idea and shows how the pieces connect.
A diagram needs someone to bring it to life
A process is easier to follow when you can see the next step happen while the narration explains it.
A short summary can leave out the useful part
Some subjects need a worked example or a caveat. A fixed runtime can squeeze out the detail people came to understand.
ngram starts with the source and builds the explanation around its content.
Bring the material. Show what it means.
ngram turns your source material into a spoken explanation with animated scenes. Bring a research paper, slide deck, documentation, or another source, and decide how deeply to cover it.
One source becomes the basis for the script and visuals.
Keep the source at the center
Use the material with the facts you want to explain, from research findings to product documentation. ngram uses that material to develop the explanation.
Choose how much to explain
Overview covers the main ideas. Detailed adds mechanisms and examples. Comprehensive makes room for nuance and caveats.
Let motion carry the explanation
Diagrams and visual sequences show relationships while narration explains them. On-screen text gives the viewer the terms and values they need.
Built to explain the material you bring
Start with something you want to explain. ngram develops the script, narration, and scenes into a video your audience can follow.
An overview and a lesson need different detail
Choose the coverage that fits your audience. Introduce a topic with its central ideas, or spend more time on how it works.
The material sets the pace of the lesson
ngram lets source coverage determine the default runtime. A process can keep its important steps, and a complex idea can include the example that explains it.
Go from the source to a first video
For source-based explainers, ngram creates the script, storyboard, narration, and visuals in one pass. You do not need to approve each stage to get the first result.
