Find every appearance of a person in your footage
Jumper detects and groups recurring faces across analyzed media, helping editors locate cast members, interview subjects, speakers, and other people without manual logging.

Face Recognition in Jumper
Face recognition in Jumper is designed for people in an editor’s own footage, including non-celebrities. Jumper detects faces, groups likely matches, lets the editor assign names, and makes those people available as search filters. Processing stays on the local device.
What you can do with face recognition
Group recurring people
Automatically collect appearances of the same person across interviews, multicam footage, episodes, and archives.
Name and search people
Assign a name to a detected face group, then use that person as a filter when searching footage.
Find people together
Search for two or more named people and jump to the shots where they appear together.
Protect identity data
Detection, grouping, and search happen locally rather than sending private footage to a cloud service.
Combine a person with any visual search
Pick a face, add a visual query like “drinking,” and Jumper returns only the moments where that person is doing it.
