AI rough cuts for professional editors

Turn footage search into editorial exploration.

The first assembly often consumes time before the detailed edit has even begun. Anjin makes recorded speech searchable, keeps multiple camera angles aligned and lets an editor describe the story they want to test. The result is not an unexplained highlight score. It is a readable sequence of source moments with timecodes, speakers, angle references and editorial roles.

That changes the economics of exploration. A producer and editor can compare a character-led opening, a debate-led structure and a practical cut without manually building three timelines from scratch.

Where it earns its place

An assistant editor for repeatable first assemblies.

Creative control

What Anjin does, and what stays with the editor.

Is this another one-click clip generator?

No. The workflow starts with an editorial brief and returns a reviewable multi-moment plan. The editor sees the proposed argument, sequence and evidence before accepting a render.

Will it make final creative decisions for me?

It proposes source-grounded structures within the brief. The editor decides which direction works, revises it and owns the finishing choices that create tone and polish.

Can I move the result into any editing application?

Anjin provides a rendered reference, source timecodes and structured edit-decision data. Because NLE import formats vary, teams should validate the exact bridge required by their finishing environment rather than assume universal native project import.

Questions from video editors

Can Anjin create a rough cut from long-form footage?

Yes. Anjin searches speech-led recordings against an editorial brief, selects source-grounded moments and arranges them into a reviewable, timestamped rough cut before rendering.

Does Anjin replace Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Avid?

No. Anjin is designed for ingest, story exploration, source retrieval and first assembly. Detailed picture finishing, colour, sound, graphics and frame-level craft remain in the editor's preferred finishing environment.

Can editors compare different versions of the same story?

Yes. An editor can brief alternative openings, audiences, durations or narrative emphases, then compare the resulting plans before deciding which direction deserves detailed finishing.

What does the handoff contain?

A completed workflow can provide a rendered reference cut, exact source timecodes, structured EDL JSON, captions and quality information. Compatibility with a particular NLE workflow should be checked against its import requirements.

Can Anjin work with multicamera recordings?

Yes. A source group can contain up to four synchronised angles. Angle choices remain visible in the plan and connected to the original timing relationship.
