Use producer language
Give notes in terms of story, pacing and emphasis rather than edit operations.
Editorial control
Give edit notes.
Keep the source intact.
Ask to tighten the opening, move the proof earlier or remove a repeated point. Anjin applies structural notes to the cut plan without making you rebuild a timeline.

What is plain-language video revision?
An editorial instruction applied to a structured cut rather than a manual timeline operation.
Revisions operate on the plan and preserve the link between every segment and its source. You can compare the new structure before rendering it.
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.
PLAIN-LANGUAGE REVISIONSVERIFIABLE OUTPUT
- instruction
- A direct note describing the structural change required.
- plan_version
- The exact plan version being revised.
- sources
- The same source-grounding rules remain in force.
- result
- A new version, leaving the earlier plan inspectable.
Why it matters
More control, less timeline work.
Keep decisions visible
Review the revised order and selected source moments before output.
Iterate without waste
Resolve structural issues before using time on rendering and file review.
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 plain-language revisions
- What kinds of revision can I request?
- You can request changes to structure, selected moments, pacing, emphasis, chronology and duration within the available source material.
- Does a revision overwrite the previous plan?
- No. Revisions create plan versions so the edit used for a render remains identifiable.
- Can Anjin invent a missing statement?
- No. Revisions remain grounded in the selected source footage and cannot add claims that were not recorded.
- Do revisions require timeline editing skills?
- No. The workflow is designed around clear editorial instructions rather than manual timeline operations.
