Export Keywords to FCPX (and to video file comments metadata)
Chris Hocking
Sky Makai - I would love to learn more about why you want this, and how it would actually be useful and speed up your editing? The whole point of Jumper is to AVOID having to manually create collections. What's missing in Jumper that would require you to go back to manual collections?
Sky Makai
Chris, collections are still much faster to use. And in order to export individual clips from FCPX, ranges must be made in collections in the FCPX Browser. Perhaps Jumper will at some point facilitate direct exporting of clip ranges in the future, but for exporting and archiving footage, Jumper is currently a middle-man.

Sky Makai - One thing I’ve been wanting to do from the start is to make the thumbnails in Jumper draggable, so that you can drag thumbnails from the Jumper Workflow Extension back into Final Cut Pro - possibly as Compound Clips of the selected ranges, or as keyword ranges. We’d also have to update the Jumper Workflow Extension UI so that you can select multiple clips so that you can drag multiple clips at the same time. Would this solve your issue?
Chris Hocking
Sky Makai - in your specific example though, in the meantime, you could just add all the Jumper clips to a timeline, then create a Smart Collection of Used Clips to move into a collection or export.
Sky Makai
Chris, Absolutely, and that's the extra work required at the moment.

Yes please !!! Description of person, description of place. Colours, how many, people, shot type (wide, handheld, static, two shot, telephoto, tracking), night, day, etc

This will be added in the next release (not the one coming out today or tomorrow). Could we perhaps get a high-level categorisation of what keywords we want. I was thinking something like:
* Shot type (close up, wide shot, two shot)
* Location (indoor, outdoor, etc)
* Time-of-day, weather (at night, at day, raining, sunny)
* Objects, people
* General mood or ambiance if applicable (beautiful, epic, depressing)
And we set some fixed limit for how many of each type we generate, and we let the Objects/people class of tags fill out until our 20 keyword per clip limit (or whatever we do). Actually "per clip" doesn't make much sense since a 1 second clip and a 4 hour clip will most likely don't contain the same amount of different visual content that we could describe. Technically what we would do is to generate the tags for each "scene" in Jumper (i.e., the search results you can hover over to preview in Jumper). Then we would just merge all those "scene tag" or "scene descriptions", to get one set of tags for the clip as a whole. Perhaps we do something like max 10-20 tags per scene, and max 100 (unique) tags per clip?

Sky Makai No, sorry. The Resolve and Avid versions has taken priority for the next releases. Resolve private beta has started now, Avid next. Then we'll get on to this.
Sky Makai
mgl, Max? Thank you for the update. I also own Resolve Studio and Jumper Pro (permanent). Send me an invite for the beta if you'd like more testers.
