The reusable prompt for every SaaS tutorial video you need to ship
Built from real ngram prompts. Paste your product URL, name the role and modules, and get a step-by-step 60-second training video — no script to write, no editor to hire.
What this template is
A SaaS tutorial video template is a slot-ified prompt plus scene structure for producing a narrated, module-by-module walkthrough of a software product for a named role. The user supplies a product URL, a role (COO, sales rep, HR admin), and a list of modules; ngram writes the script, sequences the scenes, and generates a 60-second training video with on-screen UI, captions, and voiceover. The template works for customer onboarding, internal enablement, and YouTube how-to content alike.
The template prompt
Copy it, swap the slots in brackets, and paste it into ngram — or click "Use this template" to open the editor with it prefilled.
Create a 60-second role-based tutorial video for [product-name] ([product-url]). The audience is [role] users. Cover these modules in order: [module-list]. For each module, show the UI step on screen, narrate what the [role] does and why it matters, then move to the next. Tone: [tone]. End with a brief summary screen listing all modules covered and the line: [closing-line]. Voiceover language: [vo-language]; apply the brand kit if one is set.
| Slot | What to put | Example |
|---|---|---|
| [product-name] | Your product name | Osprey |
| [product-url] | Product or documentation URL | https://osprey.io/docs |
| [role] | The job role being trained | COO |
| [module-list] | Comma-separated modules in order | Dashboard, People, Fleet, Finance |
| [tone] | Voice + pacing feel | professional, clear, confident |
| [closing-line] | Closing on-screen text | You're set. Start with the Dashboard. |
| [vo-language] | Narration language | English |
What ngram builds from this prompt
Five beats, 60 seconds — the shape most SaaS tutorial prompts converge on.
- 1
Role intro

- 2
Module walkthrough
36sCycle through each module: on-screen UI cut, narrated action, a callout box labeling the step. 8-10 seconds per module for a 4-module list.
- 3
Key action summary
8sA motion-graphics recap card listing each module and the primary action in it. Reinforces retention without repeating full scenes.
- 4
Next-step prompt
5sBrief on-screen nudge — where to go first, what to do next, or how to get help. Optional CTA link.
- 5
Brand close
3sLogo + closing line from the [closing-line] slot. Clean exit, no hard sell.
Adjust it for your team
Duration
More modules need more time; a single-module deep-dive can run shorter.
Narration
AI voiceover carries most training videos. Captions-only works for noisy environments or accessibility-first contexts.
Style
Motion graphics suits polished onboarding decks; screen-recording keeps it raw and credible for internal tools.
Aspect ratio
16:9 for LMS embeds and YouTube; 9:16 for mobile-first or vertical help centers.
Common cuts from this template
Single-module deep-dive
Cover one module in detail instead of cycling through all of them. Useful for advanced users who already know the basics.
Focus on [one-module] only. Show every sub-step with on-screen callouts. Target 90 seconds.
Sales training + CTA
Shift tone and closing to a post-demo booking action. Add client-facing context around each feature.
Reframe for a client-facing sales demo. After each module, add one sentence on the business value. End with a booking CTA: [booking-line].
YouTube how-to
Expand to 2-3 minutes with chapter markers and a YouTube-optimized title card for organic search.
Extend to 2 minutes. Add chapter labels for each module. Open with an SEO-friendly intro: why this tutorial matters.
Vertical mobile guide
9:16 reframe for a help center or mobile onboarding flow where the UI is already on a phone.
Switch to 9:16. Crop the UI to the primary action region. Keep text large and centered.
