macOS

🔨 Improvements

• Cache size reduced by ~90% (100mb vs 1gb for same files)
• Robust cache reading with fallbacks, backward compatible with old method
• Support for vision models using MLX framework on Apple silicon
• Frame batch size calculation based on host machine specs (faster processing if you have more memory)
• Improved GPU memory cache handling when switching models
• Validate and delete invalid cache files

🐞 Bug Fixes

• Fix intermittent failures in reading and writing settings

🔨 Improvements

• Dynamically resolve batch size of video frames by host machine RAM/VRAM - will speed up analysis for those of you with more powerful machines
• A visual indicator will show if the search result is imported in the project or not - if it’s not, the bottom left button of the thumbnail will locate the file on your filesystem in Finder of File Explorer
• Fix concurrency issues loading/unloading non-project media from Analysis folder
• Various small improvements to backend stability

🐞 Bug Fixes

• Fix missing start_timecode in metadata cache
• Fix R3D file processing with “V2 Multilingual x-high-res” model (did I tell you already this model is the really, really good?)
• Add default Premiere target a/v track offset to settings file creation

🆕 Important Changes

• New AI model “V2 Multilingual x-high-res” added
• This one is fantastic - increases accuracy on multilingual benchmarks by 50% compared to our default V2 Medium model, while also showing excellent performance when using English searches. The downside is that analysis takes a bit longer on macOS - Windows users with Nvidia GPUs will process significantly faster.
• You can now search all previously analysed footage inside your Analysis folder
• Instead of being limited to only searching in your current project media, you can now toggle an option to search in all the media you have ever analysed. The media of search results can be located on your filesystem by clicking the lower-left button to “Show in filesystem”, so you can import them into your project more easily. An automated “import to project” solution will be added in a future release.

🔨 Improvements

• Visual analysis processing speed increased for all models by optimising the frame extraction from videos (~30% speedup)
• More comprehensive permission handling (ensuring read/write permission for Analysis folder in multi-user environments)

🐞 Bug Fixes

• Fix missing default setting for timeline audio/video track target in Premiere

🆕 Important Changes

• Update to V2 visual models. We now use new AI model architectures that improves visual searches in a number of ways, and are multilingual by default. Read more here https://docs.getjumper.io/core-concepts/machine-learning
• ⚠️
• You will need to re-process your footage - it will be fast and is highly recommended. If you still want to use the old model, download and load the Medium model instead of the new default V2 Medium.
• Multilingual Support:
  • V2 models handle searches in any language, improving non-English text and concept recognition. V1 multilingual models (e.g., Large multilingual) may still excel in specific languages like Hindi or Thai.
  • Jumper’s interface is now translated into different languages - currently supporting Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Brazilian Portuguese, and Swedish.
• Analysis file sharing between different machines is available for paid licenses (e.g. put analysis folder on a shared location, like on a NAS)
• Optimised processing of the same footage to the same analysis folder by multiple machines at the same time (e.g. process the same footage from 10 individual editor machines concurrently)

🔨 Improvements

• Added experimental shortcut key support in the Final Cut Pro Workflow Extension and Adobe Premiere Extension. This is still very much a work-in-progress. Feedback welcome!

🔨 Improvements

• Improvements to the experimental support for Multicam and Synchronised Clips in Final Cut Pro. This is still very much a work-in-progress. After processing the clips you want to use in the Jumper Media panel, drag-and-drop a Library or Event from the Final Cut Pro Browser into the Jumper Media panel in the Workflow Extension. You should see a “FCPXML processed successfully” message. We will use the information in the dragged FCPXML to prioritise Multicam Clips and Synchronised Clips over standard clips. There is currently a bug with selecting the right angle in some cases.
• Removed Sentry crash reporting from Jumper.app and the Final Cut Pro Automation Engine. If you experience any crashes, you’ll need to manually send us your crash reports from the ~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports folder.

🔨 Improvements

• Added experimental support for Multicam and Synchronised Clips in Final Cut Pro. This is still very much a work-in-progress. After processing the clips you want to use in the Jumper Media panel, drag-and-drop a Library or Event from the Final Cut Pro Browser into the Jumper Media panel in the Workflow Extension. You should see a “FCPXML processed successfully” message. We will use the information in the dragged FCPXML to prioritise Multicam Clips and Synchronised Clips over standard clips. Currently this feature works best if the Multicam starting timecode is 00:00:00:00 - this will be improved in a future beta.
• Under-the-hood performance improvements for Premiere on Mac and Windows.

🐞 Bug Fix

• Fixed a potential crash on the launch of Jumper.app caused by Sentry, which we use for crash reporting on macOS.
