This guide walks you through the process of detecting faces in your footage, organizing them into collections, and searching for specific people. For an overview of how face detection works and what Collections are, see Face detection.

​
Detecting faces in media

To detect faces in a media file, you need to mark the media file for face detection in the Media tab and choose a Collection to add the faces to. face_detection_6.avif By clicking the dropdown menu, you can choose a Collection or create a new one. face_detection_7.avif

​
Viewing detected faces

Once the media file has been analyzed, you can see your collection of faces in the People tab. By default, all people are unnamed. The People Grid shows all the people that occur in at least 2 frames. face_detection_2.avif

​
Naming people

To assign a name to a person, click the name field and type the name. face_detection_3.avif face_detection_8.avif After assigning a name, that person becomes searchable in the Search tab.

​
Searching for people

To search for a person, click the Face icon button to bring up a list of all named people and select the person you want to search for.
Pro tip: You can also type ’@’ in the search bar to bring up the People dropdown.
face_detection_4.avif You can now search for any keywords or context and Jumper will find scenes of that person with the search query. face_detection_5.avif

​
Merging groups

Occasionally, Jumper might create multiple groups for the same person. This is because the face detection algorithm might have low confidence in the detection. You can merge any group with any already named person by clicking the button on a group and selecting the person you want to merge it with.

​
Regrouping faces

If you are not happy with the grouping of the faces, you can regroup them with different parameters to improve the accuracy of the grouping. You can regroup faces by clicking → Regroup in a Collection in the People tab. In the dialog, choose which strategy you want to use to regroup the faces.

Auto-detect

Automatically detect the best strategy for the collection.

Manual

Choose how loose or strict you want the grouping to be. The stricter the grouping, the more similar faces need to be to be grouped together.
To confirm the regrouping, click the Regroup button.
All currently assigned names will be lost when regrouping.
