"44% of DevRel teams say ongoing technical content creation is their biggest challenge."
“”
You run Developer Relations at a platform company.
Your docs are solid, your API reference is thorough, but developers still struggle to get started.
They copy code snippets without understanding context, hit authentication errors on step three, and open support tickets for problems your tutorial already covers.
So you decide to create developer tutorial videos.
You open OBS, hit record, walk through the implementation.
Twenty minutes later you have raw footage with long pauses while npm installs, three wrong terminal commands, and a muddled explanation.
Now you need to edit.
You open Premiere Pro, spend two hours cutting silences, manually zooming into code blocks, and trying to make terminal text readable.
44.8% of DevRel teams say creating ongoing technical content is their top challenge
Outdated on release day Your SDK shipped a breaking change, but the tutorial still shows the old auth flow
$1,000-$2,500 per finished minute when you outsource to a video production agency
78% of developers of developers prefer video tutorials over written docs for learning new tools
Every week without current tutorials is a week developers choose a platform with better content.
From "check the docs" to "watch this 3-minute walkthrough"
The Old Way
Before ngram
The ngram Way
After ngram
You publish a new SDK version. You write release notes with migration steps. Developers try to follow along. They miss the part about the new authentication header. They open a support ticket. Your DevRel engineer spends 30 minutes answering a question that a 90-second video would have prevented.
Same SDK update. But this time you hit record, walk through the migration in one take, mistakes and all. You drop the recording into ngram. Fifteen minutes later: dead air removed, smart zooms on every code block and terminal command, captions generated, and your brand intro applied automatically.
You try recording tutorials yourself. The raw footage has two minutes of npm install waiting, a wrong command you forgot to cut, and code that is too small to read on a laptop screen. You spend your afternoon editing instead of building the next integration guide. The backlog grows. Developer adoption stalls because your content can't keep pace with your product.
Developers watch the 3-minute tutorial and get it working on the first try. No support tickets. When the next version ships, you re-record just the changed section and publish the updated tutorial the same afternoon. Your community Slack stops asking "where's the tutorial for v3?" because it shipped before they noticed the update.

Polished tutorials from your raw walkthroughs
ngram transforms your rough screen recordings and code walkthroughs into professional developer tutorials that teach effectively and stay current as your platform evolves.
1
Record as you code
Walk through the implementation the way you would on a pair-programming call. Show the terminal, the IDE, the browser output. ngram auto-cuts the dead air, adds smart zooms on code blocks and terminal commands, generates accurate captions, and applies your brand styling. Your authentic walkthrough becomes a professional tutorial.
2
Or build from docs and scripts
Paste your API documentation, a README, or a step-by-step guide. ngram generates a structured tutorial narrative with visuals, voiceover, and transitions. When a section needs updating, swap just that segment. The rest stays current without re-rendering the entire video.
Most popular
Either way, developers get tutorials that actually teach. Content that stays current because updates take minutes, not weeks.
What changes when devrel tutorial video take minutes
3x engagement over text docs
Developers retain 65-75% from video tutorials versus 10-20% from text documentation. When developers actually complete your tutorials, they succeed with your platform. Success drives adoption, adoption drives growth, and your DevRel metrics improve across the board.
Tutorials ship with every release
When creating a tutorial takes under an hour instead of weeks, every API update, SDK version, and new feature gets a video walkthrough on launch day. No more stale content. No more support tickets about tutorials that reference deprecated endpoints.
Fewer support tickets, more building
Most developer support questions are answered in your tutorials. When developers watch and complete video walkthroughs, your support queue shrinks. Your DevRel engineers spend time on community building and new integrations instead of answering the same onboarding questions.
Scale education to every developer
You cannot pair-program with every new user. Video scales your best explanations to thousands of developers across time zones and languages. One tutorial helps your entire developer community succeed, turning education from a bottleneck into a competitive advantage.
Raw recording → polished video in 3 steps
1
Record your code walkthrough
30 secondsHit record and walk through the implementation. Show the IDE, terminal, and browser output. Wrong commands, long pauses, restarts - all fine. ngram works with raw recordings.
2
Review the polished tutorial
2 minutesngram auto-cuts dead air, zooms into code blocks and terminal commands, generates captions, and applies your branding. Review the storyboard and adjust before rendering.
3
Publish and update anytime
instantExport your tutorial for YouTube, docs, or developer portals. When your API changes, re-record just the affected section and publish the update the same day.
Built for devrel tutorial video, specifically
Smart Zoom
Every code block gets a cinematic close-up
Developers squinting at tiny terminal text in tutorials is a dealbreaker. ngram automatically zooms into code snippets, terminal output, and UI elements when you interact with them. Every keystroke, every command output, every error message is readable without the viewer pausing and zooming manually.

Cursor Emphasis
Developers follow your clicks, not guess them
Technical walkthroughs live and die by whether viewers can track what you are clicking. ngram highlights and trails your cursor with configurable emphasis so developers always know exactly where you are in the IDE, terminal, or browser. No more 'wait, where did they click?' moments.

Auto-Cut
npm install waits and wrong commands disappear
Raw coding walkthroughs are full of dead air: dependency installs, compile waits, wrong terminal commands, and thinking pauses. ngram detects and removes all of it automatically. Your 20-minute raw recording becomes a tight 5-minute tutorial that respects developer time and keeps completion rates high.

Auto Captions
Tutorials that work in any office, any language
Developers watch tutorials from open offices, coffee shops, and co-working spaces worldwide. Accurate auto-generated captions ensure your tutorial teaches regardless of audio context. Accessibility expands your reach to the global developer community, including non-native English speakers following along with code.

Brand Kit
Every tutorial looks like official documentation
Consistent branding across your tutorial library builds trust with the developer community. ngram applies your logo, colors, fonts, and intro/outro to every video automatically. Tutorials look like polished official content from your platform, not amateur screencasts recorded on a Friday afternoon.
