What's New in Jumper - May 2026

Jumper v2026.05.18 is now available for macOS (Apple silicon + Intel) and Windows.

This update post covers the larger v2026.05.16 feature release and the v2026.05.18 Avid-focused stability release.

Agents can read and write NLE timelines

Agentic editing in Jumper can now work directly with the timeline in your NLE.

Agents using Jumper through Claude, Codex, LM Studio, or similar tools can read the active timeline from Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and Avid Media Composer, inspect what is already in the edit, and send timeline changes back to the NLE.

That means you can ask an agent to look at the current cut, summarize the footage in order, find gaps or repeated shots, build a revised sequence, or use the current timeline as context before searching for more material.

Multi-person people search

Daniel AND Hanna + drinking

People search now supports multiple selected people at once.

Use AND when you want shots where every selected person appears together in the same shot. Use OR when you want shots containing any of the selected people.

Daniel OR Hanna + drinking

This makes character-heavy, cast-heavy, and interview-heavy projects easier to search. Instead of running separate passes for each person and comparing results manually, you can tell Jumper exactly whether you want co-presence or a wider set of matches.

The same AND/OR behavior is also available through Jumper’s API and agent tools.

Avid stability

The latest release is also a focused Avid stability pass.

Some Avid PanelSDK calls could crash Media Composer during certain actions, so Jumper now routes parts of the Avid integration through keyboard automation shortcuts instead. Jumper for Avid now expects the standard Avid shortcuts for Mark IN (I), Mark OUT (O), and Go to IN point (Q).

We also added guards against overlapping Avid actions, improved Mark IN/OUT handling when exporting or searching the current Source Viewer frame, fixed Source Viewer image search for linked clips with a different frame rate than the project, and fixed a navigation issue when jumping within the first minute of a clip.

If you are cutting in Avid, this release should make day-to-day Jumper actions feel more predictable.
