Overview
Before you start searching, Jumper analyzes the media and creates a separate local index. This process is also described as AI video tagging and automated video logging: Jumper makes footage searchable without requiring an editor to label every shot manually. The complete AI video-analysis system combines visual, speech, face, and Summary Analysis. Choose only the layers that the workflow needs.1
Select media to analyze
You can select to process visuals and/or speech for every media file in the Media table
2
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.
3
Finished
After a media file has been processed, the checkbox(es) will turn green. This means that the file is now searchable with Jumper.
Add editorial context with Summary Analysis
After visual analysis is complete, Summary Analysis can create a layered description of a file. Start with a concise overview, then navigate into detailed sections and source time ranges before running targeted visual, transcript, or people searches. To run one, see Create a Summary. This is especially useful when an editor or AI agent needs to understand unfamiliar footage before deciding what to search for.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 specifiedAnalysis folder. This file is required for Jumper to be able to search in that file.
Analysis does not modify the source media or write AI-generated keyword tags into it. Jumper stores its searchable data separately and leaves the original video, image, or audio file unchanged.
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.
