Ask for outcomes
Describe the story you need instead of manually marking every in and out point.
Editorial intelligence
Describe the edit.
Get a composed story.
Give Anjin the argument, audience, length and format. It retrieves the right moments and arranges them into a complete edit rather than returning disconnected clips.

What is brief-to-composition video editing?
A written editorial request translated into a structured, multi-moment cut.
Each planned segment keeps its source timecodes, speaker and editorial role. You can inspect the proposed structure before any rendering allowance is used.
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
- A plain-language request up to 2,000 characters.
- duration
- A target from 10 seconds to 10 minutes.
- structure
- Flexible or strict chronology with pacing controls.
- sources
- Up to four selected source groups per cut.
Why it matters
More control, less timeline work.
Review before render
Read the selected moments and their order before committing to output.
Repeat the workflow
Use the same editorial language across one edit, a campaign or an API workflow.
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.

Questions about brief-to-composition
- What should a video brief include?
- State the audience, central argument, target duration, tone, format and any required opening or closing moment. Clear constraints give the composition system a better editorial target.
- Does Anjin only choose one clip?
- No. It can retrieve multiple non-adjacent moments and order them into one coherent edit grounded in the selected source footage.
- Can I review the edit before rendering?
- Yes. Anjin produces a cut plan with source timecodes so you can inspect structure, wording and duration before render.
- Can I revise the brief?
- Yes. You can request structural changes in plain language and review the updated plan before creating output.
