Why we like it

Jumper earns its place in the Adobe Exchange library for a narrow, practical job: turning written timecodes into buttons that move the playback point. Version 1.0.0 landed on 2024-04-23 and runs on Premiere Pro 23.0 and up.

What is Jumper?

Jumper reads text data and scans it for time values. When an entry matches one of the formats it recognizes, that time turns into a button. Clicking the button jumps the playback point to the same time in the sequence.

The supported formats cover hours, minutes, seconds and frames in several combinations, including entries written with colons, with semicolons, or with no separators at all. Shorter patterns down to minutes and seconds are recognized as well, so timecodes noted in different styles can all be read from the same text.

Jumper is at version 1.0.0, last updated on 2024-04-23, and works with Premiere Pro 23.0 and later. It's listed here as free. For current licensing and download details, check REDDESK's page on Adobe Exchange.

Who is Jumper best for?

Jumper is best for editors who keep timecodes in text and want to jump straight to those points in a Premiere Pro sequence.

How much does Jumper cost?

Jumper is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Does Jumper work with Premiere Pro 23.0?

Jumper lists compatibility with Premiere Pro 23.0 and later. If you're running a build in that range, the plugin is designed to work with your setup. The current release is version 1.0.0, last updated on 2024-04-23. Versions of Premiere Pro below 23.0 fall outside the stated compatibility, so on those you'd want to confirm support on REDDESK's Adobe Exchange page before installing. Checking your Premiere Pro version number against 23.0 is the quickest way to know whether Jumper will run.

What time formats does Jumper recognize?

Jumper recognizes time values written with hours, minutes, seconds and frames in several arrangements. These include full timecodes with colons or semicolons between the parts, the same values with no separators at all, and shorter patterns that use only minutes and seconds. When a time in the text matches one of these formats, Jumper turns it into a button. Pressing that button jumps the playback point to the same time in the sequence, so the way you write the timecode in your text determines whether it becomes a jump target.

Is Jumper free to use?

Jumper is listed here as free, so you can add it without a purchase. Pricing and licensing terms can change over time, though, so for the current details it's best to check REDDESK's page on Adobe Exchange, where the plugin is published. That page is also where you'll find the download along with the version and update information. The current release is version 1.0.0, last updated on 2024-04-23, and it works with Premiere Pro 23.0 and later.

What does Jumper need to create jump buttons?

Jumper needs text data to work from. It reads that text and looks for time values written in one of its supported formats. Any time that matches becomes a button, and pressing the button moves the playback point to the same time in the sequence. Times written in a format Jumper doesn't recognize won't turn into buttons, so keeping your timecodes in one of the accepted patterns is what lets the plugin build the jump targets. It runs with Premiere Pro 23.0 and later.
