See it in action with NIST phishing guidance.

From this input to this video

A script based on NIST’s published guidance becomes a whiteboard training video with captions.

Prompt

Create a 45-second animated cybersecurity training video that teaches recognizing and reporting phishing using NIST’s small-business guidance at https://www.nist.gov/itl/smallbusinesscyber/guidance-topic/phishing to small-business employees. Use my script verbatim for the voiceover — do not rewrite it: An urgent message can make a risky click feel necessary. Phishing impersonates a trusted sender to steal information or deliver harmful software. Pause when a message asks for a password, a payment, a download or immediate action. Check the sender, and verify the request through a contact method you already trust. Do not use the message’s own link or phone number to verify it. Report suspicious messages using your organization’s process. If you already clicked, tell your security contact promptly. Pause, verify and report. Read NIST’s phishing guidance and learn your team’s reporting process. Explain the idea with the warning signs and verification steps in the NIST guidance and reinforce each key term with clear on-screen labels. Visual style: whiteboard. Tone: calm and practical. Open with a short real-world hook, walk through the concept step by step, then close on a one-line recap and this call to action: Read NIST’s phishing guidance and learn your team’s reporting process. Add captions for muted playback.

What this template is

A security training video template is a reusable prompt with a five-beat structure: real-world hook, concept, worked example, recap, and call to action. Fill in the cybersecurity topic, audience, runtime, visual style, and your approved narration. It works for a single awareness lesson, one framework phase, or a course intro. ngram times the scenes, builds animated visuals, narrates your script verbatim, and adds burned-in captions.

Scene structure

What the template builds

Five beats, about 60 seconds — the shape a security lesson lands best in.

  1. 1

    Real-world hook

    8s

    Open on a story the audience recognizes — a phishing email that got clicked, a patch that shipped this week, a breach in the news. No jargon yet. The point is to make the risk feel real before the lesson starts.

  2. 2

    The concept

    12s

    Name the idea and define it in one plain sentence. Put the key term on screen as a label so learners can see the word while they hear it.

  3. 3

    Worked example or analogy

    20s

    Explain the concept with the analogy or short case study from your slot. Animate it step by step, labeling each moving part. This is the beat that makes an abstract idea stick.

  4. 4

    Recap

    12s

    Restate the one thing to remember. Reinforce the key term a final time with the same on-screen label so it's the last thing the learner reads.

  5. 5

    Call to action

    8s

    Close on the next step — the next module, a policy to read, or a habit to adopt. Keep it to a single line so the lesson ends clean.

Customize

Make it yours

Audience

The same concept, pitched at the right level. Beginners and teens need more analogy and a slower build; corporate staff can take denser, policy-aware framing.

Duration

Keep it to a single concept at 60 seconds, stretch to 90 for a story-driven explainer, or run 2 minutes for an advanced module with more depth.

Narration

Paste your vetted script for a verbatim voiceover, or run captions-only for shared screens and muted feeds where audio is off.

Style

Papercraft and illustrated looks keep security friendly and beginner-safe; a cleaner corporate style suits internal staff training.

Aspect ratio

Match where the module plays: widescreen for an LMS or YouTube course, vertical for a mobile micro-lesson, square for a feed post.

Variations

Common variations

Framework-phase module for beginners

Teach one phase of a security framework — scoping, discovery, prioritization — to an audience with zero background, one phase per video.

tweak

Set [concept] to a single framework phase and [audience] to total beginners. Keep the language plain, define every term on screen, and end by naming the next phase so the series flows.

Concept explainer for teens

A story-driven, age-appropriate lesson that uses a real-world analogy to make one security idea click for younger learners.

tweak

Extend to 90 seconds. Lead with a relatable story, use one strong everyday analogy, and keep the tone engaging and never condescending. Illustrated / Pixar-inspired style.

Advanced module for corporate staff

A denser, ~2-minute lesson for employees who need the working detail of a threat or a control, not just awareness.

tweak

Extend to 2 minutes. Keep the tone professional but approachable, reinforce each key term on screen, and tie the concept back to a specific workplace action or policy.

Course intro / welcome

A short opener that sets up a training series — a real-world hook, what the course covers, and what to expect from the modules ahead.

tweak

Set [concept] to 'what this course covers and why it matters.' Open on a recent real-world security story, introduce the framework the course follows, and set expectations for the modules to come.

Question-and-answer conversation

Choose Conversation style with a compatible director. Let one speaker raise the concern and another explain the approved answer.

tweak

Present this as a generated conversation between a questioner and an expert with distinct voices. Keep the supplied approved claims and conditions. Assign the approved lines to the speakers without changing their meaning. Label each role clearly; do not portray either speaker as an actual customer or quote them as one.

How it works

1

Open the template

'Use this template' drops you into the editor with the prompt prefilled and the five-beat structure ready.

2

Add your details

Replace the brackets with your concept, audience, and analogy — and paste your vetted script so the voiceover follows it word for word.

3

Approve the plan, then refine

Review the proposed plan and its script, then approve it to create your video. Preview the result and ask ngram to adjust the pacing, visuals or narration.

Frequently asked

Will ngram narrate my script exactly, or rewrite it?

Exactly, if you tell it to. Paste your narration into the [paste-your-script] slot and keep the 'use my script verbatim — do not rewrite it' instruction in the prompt. The voiceover follows your words. Training language is usually already written and reviewed, so this keeps the vetted wording intact while ngram handles timing, visuals, and captions around it.

Can one template serve beginners, teens, and corporate staff?

Yes — that's what the [audience] slot is for. The five-beat structure stays the same; the audience slot changes how the script and framing land. Beginners and teens get more analogy and a slower build, corporate staff get denser, policy-aware framing. Change the slot and generate a separate module for each audience from the same base prompt.

How do I get the animated papercraft or stop-motion look?

Describe it in the [style] slot — 'warm papercraft stop-motion, friendly and approachable' or 'illustrated, Pixar-inspired' both work. ngram generates the scene visuals to match. An illustrated style keeps a dry security topic approachable, which is why most training prompts ask for it; switch to a cleaner corporate look for internal staff training.

Should each video cover one concept or a whole framework?

One concept per video. Single-concept modules at around 60 seconds are what most of these prompts ask for and what learners retain best. To cover a full framework, run the template once per phase — scoping, discovery, prioritization — and end each module by naming the next one so the series flows as a course.

Can I translate a module for a global workforce?

Yes. Generate the module once, then ask ngram in chat to produce the version in another language — it re-translates the narration and captions and re-voices the whole video. Useful when the same security lesson has to reach staff across regions.

What runtime and aspect ratio does it produce by default?

About 60 seconds at 16:9, which fits most LMS players and YouTube courses. Change the [duration] slot for a 90-second explainer or a 2-minute advanced module, and switch to 9:16 before generating for a mobile micro-lesson or 1:1 for a feed post.

How do I choose the speakers for a conversation?

Choose Conversation style with a director that supports presenters. Set the lead voice or presenter, then describe the other speaker’s role in the brief. Review the dialogue in the proposed plan and request changes by speaker name or role.
