You are a professor, instructor, or course designer responsible for teaching concepts that resist easy explanation.
Molecular pathways, economic models, software architectures, statistical methods.
Your students need to see these ideas in motion, not frozen in a textbook figure.
Your current workflow: open PowerPoint, build a 30-slide deck, rehearse the explanation, deliver it live, then field the same clarifying questions in office hours.
You draw on the whiteboard.
You gesture at a static diagram.
You say 'imagine this part moving' while pointing at something that does not move.
Same questions, every semester You deliver the same difficult explanation to every cohort and still get the same confused faces in office hours
$5,000-$25,000 per minute Professional animated explainer videos are priced for marketing budgets, not course budgets
97% say video is essential Education professionals agree video matters, but most lack the time and tools to create it themselves
Static slides can't show motion Some concepts only make sense when students watch them unfold step by step on screen
Every concept that stays abstract is a student who memorizes instead of understands.
From "Can you explain that again?" to "I watched your video twice and now I get it"
The Old Way
Before ngram
The ngram Way
After ngram
You are explaining a multi-step process in class. You click through slides. You gesture at a static flowchart. You say 'and then this part connects to that part' while students squint at arrows on a projected image.
Same concept. But this time you paste your lecture notes into ngram and record a quick screen walkthrough of the diagram. Twenty minutes later you have a 4-minute explainer with smooth transitions between steps, zooms on key details, captions, and a clear voiceover narrating the process.
After class, three students email you the same question. In office hours, two more ask you to walk through it again. You try drawing it differently on the whiteboard. One student nods. The other still looks uncertain.
You post it to your LMS before class. Students watch it at their own pace. They pause, rewind, rewatch. In class, they arrive with specific questions about application rather than basic comprehension. Office hours shift from re-explanation to deeper discussion.
By exam week, half the class can define the concept but cannot apply it to a new scenario. The explanation disappeared when the lecture ended. There is nothing for them to rewatch, pause, or revisit at their own pace.
Exam performance improves. Students tell you the video made it click. Next semester, you reuse the same explainer. Your best teaching moment is no longer ephemeral. It is a permanent resource that scales.

Polished explainers from what you already teach
ngram turns your existing teaching materials into professional explainer videos that help students grasp difficult concepts visually.
1
Record a concept walkthrough
Open your slides, diagram, or simulation and record yourself explaining. Mistakes, pauses, restarts are fine. ngram auto-cuts dead air, adds smart zooms on key visuals, and generates captions. You get a polished educational video from a rough take.
2
Or start from your notes
Paste in lecture notes, a syllabus section, or a course outline. ngram builds the script, plans the visual sequence, and creates an explainer with motion graphics, voiceover, and branded styling. Review the storyboard before rendering.

Either way, abstract concepts become visible. Your expertise becomes a reusable video asset your students can access anytime.
What changes when educator explainer video take minutes
The 'aha moment' on demand
Some ideas only click when students see them in motion. Visual explainers turn abstract processes into step-by-step sequences that trigger understanding. The concept that confused them in lecture makes sense on the second watch.
Students learn at their own pace
Every learner processes differently. Explainer videos let students pause on a tricky step, rewind to the beginning, or rewatch at 1.5x speed. Self-paced review that adapts to each student without extra work from you.
Teach it once, use it for years
You have explained the same concept to every cohort for years. Record the definitive version once. Reuse it each semester. Free up class time for discussion, application, and the questions that actually require you.
Measurable comprehension gains
Research shows video-based learning improves information retention by up to 60% compared to text alone. Visual explanation matches how the brain processes complex information, turning passive memorization into active understanding.

Auto Captions
Every student can follow along, hearing or not
Accurate captions make your explainers accessible to deaf and hard-of-hearing students, non-native speakers, and learners who absorb better by reading along. ngram generates and styles them automatically, so accessibility is built in from the start.

Smart Zoom
Complex diagrams stay readable on any screen
When you walk through a detailed diagram or multi-step process, ngram automatically zooms into the relevant section. Students on laptops and phones see every label, arrow, and data point clearly without squinting at a full-screen overview.

Multi-Format Export
One explainer, every platform your students use
Export for your LMS, YouTube channel, course website, or classroom display. ngram formats the same explainer for each platform automatically. Embed it in Canvas, share it on Google Classroom, or upload to your department's video library.

AI Voiceover
Professional narration without a recording studio
Generate clear, natural-sounding voiceover from your script when you prefer not to record yourself. Choose a voice that fits your subject matter. Useful for supplementing screen recordings or narrating text-based explainers where your own audio is not available.
