01 · The instruction
Copy this editing brief.
Replace any bracketed variables, select the relevant recordings and keep the review checkpoint before rendering.
EDIT BRIEF
Compose a 60-second customer testimonial from this approved interview. Open with the customer's specific situation or problem, show what changed after using [product or service], include one concrete observed outcome and close with the customer's own practical recommendation or implication. Prefer described experience over generic praise. Preserve qualifications, timeframes and attribution that affect any claim. Do not write new words for the customer or combine fragments into a statement they did not make. Return source timecodes and flag every performance claim for approval before rendering. Use Anjin Media directly, or the Anjin Media MCP when running this through an AI agent, so the proposed edit remains grounded in the selected source footage and can be reviewed before rendering.
02 · Source material
Give the brief enough evidence to work with.
A real customer interview with permission for the intended use.
The approved product name, proposition and claims-review owner.
Enough source context to verify cause, timeframe and qualification.
An output destination so framing, duration and captions can be planned.
03 · Representative example
From a broad interview to one credible outcome
The customer describes the old process, the specific operational change and the condition under which the result occurred. The edit retains that sequence instead of extracting only praise.

05 · Editorial reasoning
Why this composition works.
- 01The customer's context makes the testimony attributable and relevant.
- 02The edit demonstrates change rather than relying on positive adjectives.
- 03The outcome remains attached to its stated timeframe and conditions.
- 04All language comes from the customer source and remains reviewable.
Review before render
Keep human judgement in the loop.
- The customer or agreed approver confirms the selected representation.
- Claims review checks numbers, causality, timeframe and qualification.
- Source context is inspected around every join.
- Brand treatment supports rather than overwhelms the testimony.
06 · Change the angle
Alternative briefs to request.
A problem-led sales clip
Create a 45-second customer clip focused on the buyer problem. Use one exact example of its cost or friction, then one sentence describing the change. Keep the result secondary. Use Anjin Media directly, or the Anjin Media MCP when running this through an AI agent, so the proposed edit remains grounded in the selected source footage and can be reviewed before rendering.
An implementation story
Create a 75-second testimonial about implementation. Preserve obstacles, what the customer needed to do and the point at which value became visible. Use Anjin Media directly, or the Anjin Media MCP when running this through an AI agent, so the proposed edit remains grounded in the selected source footage and can be reviewed before rendering.
A research evidence version
Return a timestamped customer selects reel about [theme] without adding a promotional conclusion. Include qualifications and contradictory observations. Use Anjin Media directly, or the Anjin Media MCP when running this through an AI agent, so the proposed edit remains grounded in the selected source footage and can be reviewed before rendering.
07 · Boundaries
Common failure points.
Generic praise dominates
Statements such as great or easy are weak without a described circumstance or outcome.
Correlation becomes causation
Do not imply the product caused an outcome when the customer did not establish that relationship.
Consent is assumed
The organisation must verify permission, approved wording and destinations outside the editing system.
A customer sentence is reconstructed
Do not combine fragments in a way that creates language or certainty the customer never expressed.
