Shortlist recordings that contain the message you need. Check reuse permission, speaker consent and whether the information is still current.
Composition for marketing teams
Start with footage you own.
Give it a new campaign brief.
Your team has already invested in interviews, webinars and recorded conversations. Select the relevant footage, describe the asset your campaign needs and review the proposed story before rendering.

How it worksSOURCE GROUNDED
01 / INPUT
Your brief, one to four selected source groups and a target duration.
02 / ANJIN
Anjin selects and orders recorded moments around the requested argument.
03 / RESULT
A cut plan to review and revise before rendering your chosen formats.
What is brief-to-composition video editing?
A campaign brief turned into a cut plan from selected recordings.
Each planned segment retains its source reference and timecodes, so your team can check what was said and how the edit uses it. A composition draws only on the source groups you select. It does not discover suitable footage across an entire archive on its own.
Controls and evidence
See what the system used and produced.
Useful automation leaves something a person can inspect. Anjin keeps the edit connected to its brief, source media and output settings.
BRIEF-TO-COMPOSITIONVERIFIABLE OUTPUT
- brief
- State the audience, message and required context in up to 2,000 characters.
- sources
- Choose one to four source groups relevant to this campaign.
- duration
- Set a target of 10–900 seconds; check the planned and rendered length.
- structure
- Set pacing and chronology. Strict chronology applies within each source group.
Why it matters
More control, less timeline work.
Brief for one audience
Name the audience, central point, target length and format. Ask for supporting context as well as an opening and closing moment.
Review before publishing
Check selected statements against their source timecodes, revise the structure and watch the rendered video before it goes into a campaign.
Fit and boundaries
Use the capability where it genuinely helps.
Anjin is strongest on speech-led recorded material where the editorial job can be described clearly and every selected moment needs to remain verifiable. It supports human judgement with searchable evidence, a reviewable plan and structured outputs.
A strong fit
Recorded knowledge with a story inside it
Interviews, podcasts, webinars, discussions and archive programmes benefit when the useful material is distributed across a long recording or several selected sessions.
Keep elsewhere
Final craft and image-led montage
Detailed colour, sound design, motion graphics and wordless visual storytelling remain finishing tasks for a professional editor and their preferred creative tools.
Evaluation checklist
What should you verify before adopting brief-to-composition?
brief
Confirm that the workflow exposes this clearly: state the audience, message and required context in up to 2,000 characters.
sources
Confirm that the workflow exposes this clearly: choose one to four source groups relevant to this campaign.
duration
Confirm that the workflow exposes this clearly: set a target of 10–900 seconds; check the planned and rendered length.
structure
Confirm that the workflow exposes this clearly: set pacing and chronology. Strict chronology applies within each source group.

Questions about brief-to-composition
- What should a campaign video brief include?
- State who the video is for, the single message it should communicate, the chosen recordings, target duration and output format. Include necessary context and anything that should be excluded. For example, an illustrative brief could request a 60-second portrait edit explaining one product workflow from a selected webinar, keeping the speaker’s caveat and leaving out outdated launch dates. This is a briefing example, not a demonstrated result.
- Can I reuse footage from earlier campaigns?
- Yes, you can select existing uploaded recordings for a new brief. Your team should confirm permission to reuse the footage, check that claims remain current and choose sources that actually contain the intended message. Composition does not supply a missing statement or establish reuse rights.
- Does Anjin search my entire archive for me?
- No. A composition uses one to four selected source groups. Explore’s source search filters recent source names by matching text in the name; it is not semantic search across your whole library. Choose the relevant source before asking Explore for concepts.
- What if I have footage but no editorial angle yet?
- Explore proposes six concepts from a selected source transcript. Choose one, refine it with feedback and save it as a cut. Concepts are grounded in the transcript, not an autonomous review of every recording or visual event in your archive.
- Can the edit combine separate moments?
- Yes. Anjin can select non-adjacent recorded moments from your chosen sources and order them into one cut. Review the resulting sequence for context. Strict chronology preserves order within a source group, not a global timeline across several groups.
- Is the requested duration guaranteed?
- The supported target is 10–900 seconds. Treat it as an editorial target and check the plan’s estimated length and the finished video. Available speech and edit boundaries can affect the result.
