This tutorial walks you through your first agentic editing workflow: asking an AI agent to search for footage, review its plan, and export clips you can drop straight into your NLE. For background on what agentic editing is, see Agentic editing.

​
Before you begin

Claude Cowork currently does not reliably pick up the Jumper integration. For this tutorial, use Claude Code Desktop, Claude Code CLI, or Codex.
1

Give the agent a search query

Open your AI agent (Claude Code Desktop, Claude Code CLI, or Codex) and describe what you’re looking for in plain language. For example:Tell the agent which media to search if it matters (e.g. a specific folder path).
2

Review and approve the plan

The agent will run some checks, and then come back with a plan: which media it will search, the query it will run, and what it will export.Review the plan and approve it when you’re ready. The agent will then execute the search and export steps.In this case, we’ll ask the agent to export the clips to a folder.
3

The agent exports clips to a folder

The agent uses Jumper to search your analyzed media, finds matching clips, and exports them as individual files to a folder you specified (or a default location).You don’t need to click through Jumper yourself, the agent handles the search and export.
4

Import the clips into your NLE

Open the folder with the exported clips and drag it into Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Avid Media Composer. The clips are ready to use.agentic_editing_import.png

​
Timeline round-trip

Once you are comfortable exporting clips, try a round-trip workflow: the agent reads your active timeline in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Avid Media Composer, searches your analyzed media, and sends an updated timeline back.
1

Open the sequence in your NLE

Make sure the timeline you want to edit is active in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Avid Media Composer.
2

Ask the agent to read and update the timeline

Describe the edit you want in plain language. For example:
3

Review in your NLE

When the agent finishes, review the updated sequence in your NLE before locking the cut.
For background on what the agent can access, see Agentic editing.

​
Resulting sequence

Here’s the resulting sequence from the above workflow. 20 clips exported by the agent and dropped into Premiere:

​
What’s next?

  • Ask the agent to search for people (make sure you have faces detected and named in the People tab)
  • Ask the agent to search in transcriptions to cut the best parts of an interview
  • Generate a b-roll sequence from a specific voiceover track
  • Ask the agent to export a sequence (Premiere XML, FCPXML) instead of individual files
  • Ask the agent to read your active NLE timeline, swap clips based on search results, and send the updated timeline back
  • Run multiple agent tasks in parallel for different projects
