Replace any bracketed variables, select the relevant recordings and keep the review checkpoint before rendering.
EDIT BRIEF
Create a 3-minute microlearning lesson from this training recording for [learner role]. The learner should be able to [one observable objective] after watching. Open by stating the relevant problem or objective, include the complete explanation and any essential demonstration, then close with the recorded recap or next action. Remove housekeeping, unrelated questions and repetition, but preserve prerequisites, warnings and exceptions required for safe understanding. Do not claim assessment, certification or policy compliance. Return a cut plan, source timecodes and transcript for subject-matter review before rendering captions. 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 recording containing one teachable objective and a complete explanation.
The learner role, prerequisite knowledge and intended use.
A subject-matter owner for accuracy review.
Approved terminology, policy date and accessibility requirements.
03 · Representative example
One workshop chapter becomes one complete lesson
A trainer states the objective early, demonstrates the workflow later and answers a critical exception in Q&A. The lesson combines those parts while retaining the warning.

The proposed cut structure.
OBJECTIVE
06:08–06:23
Trainer
Tell the learner what this chapter enables.
CONCEPT
18:40–19:18
Trainer
Explain the principle required before the demonstration.
DEMONSTRATE
32:11–33:18
Screen + trainer
Show the complete recorded procedure.
EXCEPTION
61:02–61:31
Q&A
Retain a warning that changes safe use.
RECAP
68:18–68:43
Trainer
Close with the recorded action or summary.
05 · Editorial reasoning
Why this composition works.
- 01The lesson is defined by one observable objective.
- 02Prerequisite explanation appears before demonstration.
- 03The Q&A exception remains because it affects correct application.
- 04The edit is a learning asset, not a claim of assessment or certification.
Review before render
Keep human judgement in the loop.
- A subject-matter expert verifies sequence and terminology.
- Policy owners check dates, warnings and exceptions.
- A learner unfamiliar with the source tests whether the lesson stands alone.
- Captions and screen details are checked at the delivery size.
06 · Change the angle
Alternative briefs to request.
A one-minute concept refresher
Create a 60-second refresher explaining [one concept] for learners who already completed the full training. Include the definition, one example and one caution. 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 procedure-only demonstration
Create a two-minute procedure edit containing every required step in recorded order. Preserve warnings and flag any missing step rather than filling it in. 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 role-specific lesson
Create a three-minute version for [role], retaining only examples, decisions and actions relevant to that role while preserving shared safety or policy context. 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.
The objective is not observable
Replace understand or know with the task or decision the learner should be able to perform.
A warning is removed for pace
Safety, policy and prerequisite context outrank brevity.
The source does not contain a complete procedure
Flag the missing step or record an update rather than inventing instruction.
Microlearning is presented as certification
A short edit does not prove assessment, completion or compliance.
Questions about training video to microlearning
- Can Anjin create microlearning from a workshop?
- Yes, when the recording contains a complete teachable objective, explanation and any necessary warnings.
- Does the output include an assessment?
- No. Anjin composes recorded video. Assessment and learning-platform functionality remain separate.
- Can one workshop produce several lessons?
- Yes. Separate briefs can target distinct objectives from the same source recording.
- Can training in another language be processed?
- Yes. Language-aware editing works with original-language speech, subject to transcript and native-speaker review.
