The problem

Raw screencasts contain the answer, but not the story

A screen recording shows the workflow, but viewers still need context. Someone has to cut dead air, explain why each step matters, add zooms, write captions, and turn the capture into a video people will finish.

i.

The useful moments are buried

Clicks, page changes, form submissions, and setup steps sit inside one long timeline that someone has to scrub by hand.

ii.

The recording does not explain itself

A viewer can see the cursor move, but they still need narration, labels, captions, and a clear reason for each step.

iii.

Every audience needs a different cut

A prospect demo, customer tutorial, internal update, and help-center clip may all start from the same capture.

iv.

Manual polish takes longer than the recording

Trimming pauses, setting zooms, styling captions, and adding branded frames can turn a five-minute screencast into an afternoon edit.

Screencast mode keeps the recording in the project, then gives the walkthrough the pacing and guidance it needs.

The solution

Turn a raw capture into a guided walkthrough

ngram turns a raw screen recording into a guided product walkthrough. In Screencast mode, the agent adds cursor smoothing, click emphasis, dead-air trimming, step labels, transitions, captions, and brand treatment.

A recording becomes a walkthrough viewers can follow.

i

Keep the source recording in context

Upload an existing capture or record in the browser, so the project starts with the product flow your viewer needs to see.

ii

Make every action legible

Cursor smoothing, click emphasis, smart zooms, and step labels help viewers see where to look while the workflow moves.

iii

Finish in the editor

Open the same scene editor to adjust the canvas, captions, callouts, script, or timeline before downloading the finished MP4.

Screencast workflow

Keep the product flow. Improve how it plays.

The recording remains the source. ngram adds the pacing, visual guidance, and editing controls that help a viewer follow it.

Source

Start from the workflow you already captured

Bring an existing screen recording or make one in the browser. The product actions and narration stay connected to the video project.

Guidance

Point viewers to each important action

Cursor smoothing, click emphasis, smart zooms, and step labels clarify the parts of the product flow that deserve attention.

Polish

Clean up the take without leaving the project

Dead-air trimming, captions, section transitions, branded backgrounds, and frames stay with the screencast as the walkthrough takes shape.

Control

Edit the same scenes you use to explain the product

Use chat, the scene editor, and the timeline to adjust copy, visual elements, captions, or timing before you export the finished video.
