How it works
How the animated explainer ai video maker works.
The workflow starts with structure: ngram turns source material into an explainer plan before it generates animated scenes.
Add the concept and source
Give ngram the explainer brief, product page, PDF, screenshot, script, or source note. The agent reads the source for message, audience, claims, and visual cues.
Source ready
Review the storyboard
ngram drafts the script, scene order, visual metaphor, timing, callout notes, and CTA before the first render, so the animation follows a clear explanation.
Storyboard ready
Generate motion scenes
The draft can combine AI visuals, generated video clips, animated overlays, product callouts, smart zooms, transitions, voiceover, captions, music, and brand treatment.
Scenes generated
Edit the explanation
Use chat, visual chat, the script editor, scene regeneration, canvas controls, or the timeline to revise the explainer and export widescreen, square, or vertical cuts.

Why ngram
How animated explainer workflows differ.
Some tools start with templates. Others make short generated clips. ngram is built for source-led animated explainers that stay editable after the first draft.
| Compare | ngram | Template editor | Manual motion design workflow | Single-purpose AI generator |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Workflow fit | Starts from prompts, URLs, PDFs, screenshots, images, approved source notes, and product context. | Starts from a preset scene layout or template timeline rather than source material and a generated storyboard. | Gives high control for custom animation, but the brief, script, storyboard, design, animation, and review loop take separate handoffs. | Can make a short generated clip from a prompt, but may not preserve a full explainer structure across scenes. |
| How ngram fits | Plans the script, storyboard, visual metaphor, callouts, timing, voiceover, captions, and brand direction before render. | Works when the explainer already fits the template, but concept mapping and callout planning usually stay manual. | Best for highly bespoke brand films or complex character animation where a motion designer owns every frame. | Useful for B-roll or a single visual beat, not always for storyboard review, product callouts, captions, and brand rules. |
| Best use | Keeps scenes editable with chat, visual chat, script editing, scene regeneration, canvas controls, timeline edits, localization, and multi-format export. | Often separates writing, design, voiceover, captions, and export cleanup into several passes. | Harder to refresh quickly when product copy, screenshots, CTA, or audience framing changes. | Usually needs another editor when the team wants script changes, localized cuts, or format variants. |
