Bug Report Video

Bug reports that get fixed on the first try

Show developers exactly what broke. No more back-and-forth, no more "cannot reproduce." Record the bug, polish the video, and ship a report that actually gets resolved.

Try example prompts

"The app crashes sometimes." Great. That tells me nothing."

“

You found a bug.
You write it up: title, description, expected vs.
actual behavior, steps to reproduce.
You submit the ticket.

Two days later, the developer closes it: "Cannot reproduce." They tried your steps.
It didn't break for them.
Now you're in a back-and-forth ping-pong match, each message asking for more details.

”

"Cannot reproduce" the response that kills bug reports

3-5 messages of back-and-forth per unclear report

100-150 bugs per 1,000 lines of code written

2x faster fix rates when bugs are reported within 24 hours

Every unclear bug report is a fix that takes 3x longer than it should.

From "cannot reproduce" to "fixed in this release"

The Old Way

Before ngram

  • You find a critical bug before launch. The checkout flow breaks on Safari when the user has items in cart from a previous session.
  • You write it up: browser, OS, steps to reproduce. You submit. The developer tests in Chrome. Works fine. Tests in Safari with a fresh cart. Works fine. They close the ticket.
  • You reopen it, add more detail. They try again. Still can't reproduce. Three days of back-and-forth. The bug ships to production. A customer hits it. Now it's a P0.
The ngram Way

After ngram

  • Same bug. This time you record your screen as you trigger it. The raw recording is 2 minutes of you navigating and clicking.
  • You upload to Ngram. Five minutes later: a tight 30-second video that shows exactly the bug. Steps labeled, dead air cut, key moments highlighted with callouts. The developer watches it once and knows exactly what's happening.
  • They reproduce it on the first try. Fixed in the same sprint. No back-and-forth. No customer impact. You look like a QA pro who ships clear, actionable reports.

Crystal-clear bug reports from a quick screen recording

Ngram transforms your raw screen recordings into polished bug report videos that developers can understand and act on immediately.

1

Record the bug as it happens

Capture your screen while you trigger the bug. Don't worry about narration or perfect timing. Ngram cuts the dead air, adds callouts to highlight key moments, and structures the video so the developer sees exactly what broke and how.

2

Or annotate an existing recording

Already have a screen recording of the issue? Upload it to Ngram. Add step labels, zoom on the problem area, and trim to just the relevant section. Turn a 3-minute ramble into a focused 30-second report.

Most popular

Either way, your bug report becomes impossible to misunderstand. Developers fix it on the first try because they can see exactly what you saw.

What changes when bug report video take minutes

Bugs get fixed in the same sprint

When developers can see exactly what broke, they don't waste time guessing. Clear video reports get prioritized and fixed faster. Your bugs don't languish in the backlog.

Zero back-and-forth clarification

No more "what browser were you using?" or "can you show me exactly where you clicked?" The video shows everything. Developers have what they need on the first submission.

Better QA-Dev relationships

Nothing frustrates developers more than unclear bug reports. Nothing frustrates QA more than "cannot reproduce." Clear video reports eliminate the friction. Both teams win.

Report bugs faster than writing them

Recording a bug takes 30 seconds. Writing a detailed text description takes 15 minutes. With Ngram, you get the clarity of video with less effort than text. Report more bugs in less time.

Raw recording → polished video in 3 steps

1

Drop in what you have

30 seconds

Upload a screen recording, paste a URL, or add a feature doc. ngram works with whatever's already on your hard drive. No special prep required.

2

Review before it renders

2 minutes

ngram shows you the script and storyboard first. Don't like something? Edit it in plain English: "Make the intro shorter" or "Add a zoom on the pricing section." You stay in control—without learning a timeline editor.
