Overview
Before you start searching, Jumper needs to analyze the media.
Select media to analyze
You can select to process visuals and/or speech for every media file in the Media table
Analyze media
When you have selected media to analyze, click the button at the bottom. Jumper will start to analyze the media. This will take some time depending on the runtime, resolution and chosen model.Read more about different models here Finished
After a media file has been processed, the checkbox(es) will turn green. This means that the file is now searchable with Jumper.
Analysis speed
The analysis speed varies depending on your computer specifications and the chosen model. As a reference, on a Mac M1 Pro MacBook Pro, the fastest visual search model typically achieves 15 to 20 times real-time analysis, meaning one hour of footage takes about three to four minutes to analyze.
Analysis files
When you analyze media, Jumper creates an analysis file in the specified Analysis folder. This file is required for Jumper to be able to search in that file.
Once analyzed, you may rename or move the original media files as you wish. The analysis files are linked by the content of the media files, not their filepath or filename.
If you delete any of these files, you will need to re-analyze the corresponding media files.
Size of analysis files
The size of the analysis files varies depending on the resolution and frame rate of the media files. As a rough estimate, the analysis data is about 0.1% of the size of the original media file.
Analysis files and Machine Learning models
Analysis files are tied to the specific machine learning model that was used to create them. If you download and load a new model in the Settings tab, you will need to re-analyze your media files with the new model before you can search in them with that model.
Switching to a new model does not delete or overwrite your previous analysis files; instead, new analysis files are created for the new model. If you later switch back to a previous model, any analysis files created for that model will still be available, so you will not need to re-analyze your media for that model again.
Jumper can analyze various video, image, and audio file formats. See the complete list of supported file formats.Last modified on January 28, 2026
