About Jumper

Jumper is a local machine learning-powered search engine designed specifically for video post-production. Unlike cloud-based asset managers, it indexes footage directly on the user's machine, allowing editors to find visual or spoken content without manual tagging or uploading files to a server. It integrates directly into major non-linear editors including Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and Avid Media Composer, aiming to eliminate the hours typically spent scrubbing through rushes and organizing media. The tool utilizes various visual-language models to enable natural language searches; for example, typing "sunset over mountains" will retrieve relevant clips even if the files weren't metadata-tagged. It also features robust speech search supporting over 111 languages and a Match Similar function that finds clips visually comparable to a selected frame or source monitor. For high-end workflows, the Pro version adds facial recognition to track specific people across hours of footage and Agentic Editing capabilities, which allow AI agents like Claude or ChatGPT to interact with the local media library to automate sequence creation. Jumper is built for a wide range of media professionals, from solo content creators and wedding videographers to documentary filmmakers handling hundreds of hours of interviews. It is particularly valuable for reality TV and unscripted productions where finding specific needle-in-a-haystack moments is a daily requirement. Because it works entirely offline and does not use media for AI training, it is also a suitable choice for editors working under strict NDAs or in corporate environments with high data sovereignty requirements. What sets Jumper apart is its focus on local processing and privacy. While many AI tools require high-speed internet and cloud credits, Jumper runs on the user's hardware to ensure that footage never leaves the device. The inclusion of lifetime license options and the ability to share analysis files across a local network via NAS further distinguishes it from subscription-heavy SaaS competitors. Its unique Match Source button specifically solves the NLE-specific problem of finding the best-quality version of a frame already present in the timeline or source monitor.

Jumper FAQs

Does Jumper upload my footage to the cloud?

No, all analysis and indexing are performed locally on your device. Your media never leaves your computer, and Jumper does not use your content to train its AI models.

Which video editing software is compatible with Jumper?

Jumper provides dedicated plugins for Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and Avid Media Composer. It also offers a standalone application for managing media outside of these editors.

How fast can Jumper search through my library?

The search is nearly instantaneous, with tests showing it can scan 100 hours of footage in approximately 0.2 seconds. Analysis time varies by hardware, but an M1 Pro MacBook can process roughly 15 minutes of footage per minute.

Can I use Jumper without an internet connection?

Yes, Jumper is designed for offline use. Paid licenses only require an internet connection once per week for verification, while the core analysis and search functions work entirely without a network.

Does the analysis process create large files on my hard drive?

Jumper generates analysis files that are approximately 0.1% the size of the original media files. These files are stored permanently in a cache folder and can be moved or shared between workstations.
