Catch weak structure
See missing context or repetition while changes are still cheap.
Editorial control
Read the edit first.
Render when it is right.
Anjin exposes the proposed edit as a structured plan, so a producer can check the story, evidence, order and source moments before generating files.

What is an AI video cut plan?
A human-readable description of every segment proposed for an edit.
The plan is the editorial checkpoint between automated selection and rendered output. Rendering uses a specific plan version, which keeps review decisions reproducible.
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.

Why it matters
More control, less timeline work.
Verify the source
Trace every proposed line back to the recording it came from.
Create a sign-off point
Give collaborators a concrete edit plan to review instead of a black box.
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 reviewable cut plans
- What is included in an Anjin cut plan?
- A cut plan includes ordered segments, source timecodes, selected source references, editorial reasoning and estimated duration.
- Does reviewing a plan use my allowance?
- No. Planning, reviewing and rendering do not use source minutes; minutes are counted once, when footage is ingested.
- Can a cut plan be changed?
- Yes. Structural revisions create an updated plan version that can be reviewed before rendering.
- Can developers retrieve the plan?
- Yes. Cut plans and their versions are available through the API and agent workflows.
