Applying Warp Stabilizer transitions?

I have some experience with warp stabilizer in After Effects.
After having watched the Warp Stabilizer tutorials for After Effects (thank you to community for links)
After Effects Help | Tracking and stabilizing motion
REMOVING TIMELAPSE CAMERA SHAKE: ADOBE PREMIERE TUTORIAL - YouTube
and having played with them in Premier Pro, I find it does a great job of stabilizing the time lapse footage. However, I still notice a slight jerk during the transition from one daily video to the next because each video/day is stabilized independently of the next. The video does not move much from one day to the next so this would only be a few pixels, but it is still noticeable. Is there a way to create a "stabilizing transition" from one day to the next so that in the last 2-3 seconds of the video, the warp stabilizer shifts the image to align the last frame of day one with the first frame of day two? Can I have to trick Premier Pro into doing this by placing the first picture of the second day into the folder of pictures from the first day or is this more painful than necessary? Is there a way to drag and drop a Warp Stabilizer effect across multiple videos in the timeline at once so that the cropping and rotating is done while considering all of the video files? I realize this could result in significantly more cropping than if each video was stabilized individually..
I would prefer to not have to place all of the images in one folder as I would have to rename them for the Import Sequence function to work properly and because there are about 5 months worth of daily folders.

There is no KBSC for adding an effect to a clip.
If you want to add the warp stabilizer (or any effect) to all clips in the timeline: select all the clips and double click on the effect.

How to apply warp stabilization to the same clip used twice in the same timeline

If I use the same source clip in a timeline (say 3 or 4 different sections of the clip by dropping the same clip on the timeline and just trimming it differently) and want to stabilize them all, how do I do that? The first instance of the clip lets me use warp stabilization, but then when I try to apply it to later instances of the same clip in the timeline, it says I can't do that. How do I apply the stabilization to later instances of the same clip in the timeline?
Thanks

After trimming the clip just apply the warp stabiliser to it without copying and pasting. You can't copy and paste the warp stabiliser because it needs to analyse the pixels of each clip everytime its applied.

Steps to send a clip to AE to utilize Warp Stabilizer VFX then back to Premiere Pro CC

So I use Warp Stabilizer for about 200 clips per project. It's effectiveness has shaped how I shoot. It's awesome. Now there's VFX in AE...Can someone layout the steps involved in the following:
a) Taking a clip from Premiere Pro CC and sending it to After Effects CC (I'm not that versed in using AE having not used it in quite a while)
b) Then how to apply the new Warp Stabilizer VFX (I assume just go to effects>distort>WarpStabilizerVFX ???) ... (if there are tutorials on how exactly to use it, especially detailing exactly how to utilize the new feature of isolating what in the frame is to be stabilized that would be great too)
c) Then how to send it back to Premiere Pro CC. (I'm guessing I just save it and let dynamic link take care of the rest?)
I've tried right-clicking on a clip and selecting "replace with AE composition" (is that what I should do?), then applying the effect but I get a "warp stabilizer VFX analysis doesn't work with Collapse Transformations" message so I stopped. If it makes any difference, the majority of my footage is shot at 60p and then interpreted and edited at 23.976fps. Thanks!
NOTE TO STAFF: I've said it before and I'll say it again as someone who uses warp stabilizer several hundred times per week, I still think the default "method" in the settings should be "Position, Scale, Rotation" instead of Subspace Warp because it works FAR better (less wobble and less scaling about 90% of the time). Can't help myself I had to bring that up again here.

a) Select a clip in PrPro timeline, right-click and choose 'Replace With After Effects Composition'. Take care of handles if you might need them (that's rather general tip).
Warning about Collapse Transformation switch indicates that you have 'Scale to Frame Size' option enabled for your clips in PrPro timeline. If that was done intentionally, you can simply toggle the Collapse Transformation switch (small sun icon) off. If not, rather disable 'Scale to Frame Size' for your clips in PrPro timeline.
b) Quite a boring but covering almost all necessary details tutorial on basic work with Warp Stabilizer in AE CC from Adobe TV:
Some advanced techniques from Lynda.com
and Mathias Möhl:
c) When you're happy with your work in AE and going to lock it, render a digital intermediate out of AE, import it into PrPro and replace your dynamically linked composition in the timeline with that DI (see this good old thread on Dynamic Link workflow, pay attention to Todd's comments).
If you leave the 'Include Project Link' checkbox in the Output Module Settings dialog enabled while rendering your DI, you can easily get back to appropriate AE project so as to maybe tweak some settings: just select your DI in PrPro timeline, right-click and choose 'Edit Original'.
Mind the bloating issue, keep the amount of applied Warp Stabilizer instances in a single AE project reasonable.

Warp Stabilizer through After Effects Dynamic Link Locks up in CS6

Hey Gang,
I've been using Warp Stabilizer through dynamic link in CS5.5 without issues. However, when I go through dynamic link into AE, then apply Warp Stabilizer, AE locks up?
I can apply any other effects through this path in AE without issue, but when I try to apply WS, I get the "Analyze", but AE stops cold there.
I've tried:
-Opening new project in PP with basic 5 second clip. Then going through dynamic link into AE, and applying warp stabilizer first thing. AE locks up there with the simplest flow.
-I have the latest downloads of the entire production CS6 suite.
-If I apply warp stabilizer directly in Premiere CS6 (which I did not know previously I could do), it works fine! (Just noticed Warp Stabilizer is present in PP CS6, but not in CS5.5).
-If I try to import the Premiere project from AE, AE locks up doing that?
It appears there are multiple issues here:
1. I can't apply Warp Stabilizer in After Effects, and doing so crashes AE.
2. I can't import a Premiere project into After Effects, and doing so crashes AE too?
I'm assuming I'm going to need to download AE again?
Thank you for any help and suggestions you may have!

Hello Mylenium,
thank you for your input. Naturally I would expect if my work flow in CS5.5 works great, I would not have to make any changes in CS6 to accomplish the same task. With that said, I made it as simple as possible for CS6 AE to handle the Warp Stabilizer effect, and it crashed? If I went directly back to CS5.5, no problems at all in AE (same source footage, but of course different projects). When I first tried CS6 AE it appeared to work fine, even when doing Warp effects. So when I ran into the issue I saw above, I started thinking it was possible the update I did to AE may have caused some other issue. By the way, the projects I open in both CS5.5 vs. CS6 were independent, meaning, I did not convert a CS5.5 job to CS6, etc... (See notes below).
My setup is standard:
i7 960
16G mem
Nvidia Quadro 4k
Footage is Canon 5D Mkii 1080p
All drivers up to date.
-I think going back and forth between CS5.5 and CS6 may have caused some issues? When I rebooted my system, CS6 AE seems to work fine when applying Warp Stabilizer effects again.
-What I did find more interesting and effective, was that CS6 Premiere has Warp Stabilizer right in its own effects now! Works great in the premiere flow and plays back far better then going through the Dynamic Link with After Effects! When playing Dynamic link effects back in Premiere, I'm sure everyone sees performance issues in the playback. However, in at least with applying Warp Stabilizer directly in Premiere, the playback performance is much better.
Thank you

Premiere Pro CC - Warp Stabilizer causing "Heat Waves"

I'm using Premiere Pro CC 2014 and when I apply Warp Stabilizer to certain clips I get this weird heat-wave, shimmer-like effect. For the life of me I can't figure out why this is happening. I've tried singling out every variable that I can but nothing matters.
You can see what I'm talking about here: Dropbox - With WS.mp4
And here is the clip without WS applied: Dropbox - Without WS.mp4
The clips I'm trying to stabilize are actually pretty stable already so it shouldn't be an issue for WS normally. It doesn't seem to make a difference whether they're in a 720 timeline or 1080.
I've tried every setting in WS that I can, including 'detailed analysis' and 'enhanced reduction' on Rolling Shutter Ripple. The only thing that kind of seems to help is applying the rolling shutter repair plugin but even then it's still somewhat choppy.
The shots themselves don't have any noticeable rolling shutter ripple (slow moving grass shot on a monopod) and they look great UNTIL I add Warp Stabilizer and they get the weird effect. Even though the clips are already pretty stable, I just want to add WS to smooth some of these clips out a little bit. When I replace the clips with an AE comp and WS in AE it's fine! But I want to figure out why this is doing it inside Premiere so I don't have to use dynamic link every time I want to use WS.
I just got this machine, maybe that has something to do with it...I have no idea.
System info:
Mid-2011 27" iMac
3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
12 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
AMD Radeon HD 6970M 1024 MB
OS X 10.9.5
Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014.1
Shot on a 5D Mk. III with either a 24 (1080p) or 60 (720p) frame rate and resolution.
Can anyone help? Thanks

I don't have answers for you. Sorry. But I have seen that once before on a clip I stabilized. Much like the grass shot you show in your mp4. Mine was of a guy sitting at a pool and the bright plants behind him where flickering like a heat wave/desert-like effect. Only one clip had it and it made me go "hmm...never seen that before." I stabilized hundreds of clips in that project and that was the only clip with that heat wave thing happening. I was on 7.2.2 at the time. And eventually went to 8.0.1 with no change. It didn't bother me enough to do anything about it so I left it. It was shot at 1080p60 from a Panasonic PX270. Strangely I have the same computer as you (except I have 16gb of ram and I'm on 10.8.5). That is very interesting to me that it worked great in AE. Interesting indeed. I'll follow this thread in hopes of a revelation. Fortunately, I don't see that issue much or I'd be screwed.

Warp Stabilizer Constantly Crashing Premiere Pro CC 2014

I have never had an issue applying warp stabilizer to clips, now it constantly crashes my system during the analyze phase. Does not seem to be an issue with any other effects. Have the most current version of premiere CC 2014. Running Windows 8.1 Plenty of memory, etc. Has never been an issue, now it happens every time! Help!!

I am having similar issue - without the crashing. Any clips I use warp stabilizer on do not retain their render after I close the project.
What version of Premiere Pro? Include the minor version number (e.g., Premiere Pro CS5.5 with the 5.5.2 update). v8.0.1 (21) build 2014.0.1 release
Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.) Cloud says i'm up to date
What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac". Windows 8.1
What kind(s) of source footage? When telling about your source footage, tell us about the codecs, not just the container types. For example, "H.264 in a .mov container", not just "QuickTime". mp4 from a gopro
If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)? no error
What were you doing when the problem occurred?
Has this ever worked before? no
What other software are you running? Chrome
Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed? No
Tell us about your computer hardware. Be especially certain to tell us about third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU). Dell latitude e7440 8gb ram, ssd
Are you using Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration? i dont think so
Does the problem only happen with your final output, with previews, or both? clips do not stay rendered in timeline after saving/close a project and reopen

Warp Stabilizer progress status

Hi,
I need to get an alert when the stabilization process is complete.
So i try this :
i am reading the first three text labels on the effects panel :
During analysis:
the first label is empty
the second label display alternatively
Time remaining : 41 seconds
or
64 % (frame 70 of 188)
the second label display :
Stabilization
During stabilization:
the first label is empty
the second label display
188 frames @ 0:00:21:18
and the third label display alternatively
Stabilization ..
(the number of dots and spaces varies)
When stabilization is complete :
the first label is empty
the second label display
188 frames @ 0:00:21:18
and the third label display
Stabilization
So i can read the label and deduce the process state.
// in a scheduled task
function checkStabProgress()
var effect = currentComp.layer(1).Effects.property(1);
var label = effect.property(1).name;
var label2 = effect.property(2).name;
var label3 = effect.property(3).name;
if(label == "" && label2 != "" && label3 == "Stabilization"){
alert("Stab Complete");
It's seems to be a crappy way and sometimes an alert prompt before stabilization complete.
Is there a better way to do what i do ?
like event listener ? or something more clean and formal ?
thanks ++

Although it's easier (more convenient) to accomplish the mission in After Effects, you can do it in PrPro as well:
1. Nest your shaky footage.
2. Within the newly created nested sequence apply Garbage Matte onto the footage to separate the woman on the foreground. E.g. draw Eight-Point Garbage Matte around the woman.
3. Create a Color Matte, pick e.g. R:7 G:7 B:9 to more or less match its colour to your footage background and drop this Color Matte above your footage with Garbage Matte.
4. Copy Garbage Matte from the footage and paste onto the Color Matte, delete or disable Garbage Matte on the footage. Optionally apply Fast Blur effect onto the Color Matte and dabble with Blurriness value so as to soften (feather) Matte's edges, adjusting Garbage Matte points if necessary.
5. Jump back to your master sequence and apply Warp Stabilizer onto the nested sequence, formerly your shaky footage. Set Stabilization to No Motion.
6. When done, switch to your nested sequence, disable the Color Matte eyeball, switch back to the master sequence, enjoy.

Warp Stabilizer and Speed can't be used on same clip

...just my luck that on my first ever Premiere project (CS6) I'm building a timeline and need to use both the Rate Stretch Tool and the Warp Stabilizer on multiple clips. The message, "Warp Stabilizer and Speed can't be used on same clip" took me by surprise.
However, after research here on the Forum, I found a Workaround that I'm deploying:
"Apply the effects, nest and finally apply warp stabilize" Ann Bens
Here's what I did:
In my only sequence -- Sequence 01 -- I highlighted a clip that I had already applied Rate Stretch to.
chose Clip/Nest
This created a Nested Sequence 02 with the clip in it.
In Sequence 01, the clip now says, "Nested Sequence 02"
I applied the Warp Stabilizer to the Nested Sequence 02 clip and it worked. Both Rate Stretch and Warp Stabilizer have been applied to the same clip!
So I've done this like ten times to ten clips and now have 10 Nested Sequence folders.
Questions:
Are my step-by-steps correct?
Do I let these multiple Nested Sequences just keep piling up? (when I right click on a Nested Sequence and choose Clear, I get a warning message that I'm going to delete clip references)
Now that the workaround has worked, is there a way to close -- unlink -- from these Nested Sequence folders? If so how?
I am so Over My Head for a first project. I thought you could always compound Video Effects!

Best is to make a copy of the timeline or clips that you are going to multiple nest etc.
If you screw up you can easily replace nested clips etc with a copy from the copy you made.
There is an undo function but most of the time its not enough.

Error with warp stabilizer

I've graded a couple of clips from DaVinci Resolve and exported as ProRes 4444 from sony F55 RAW.
Now I'm importing them in my Premiere Pro CC timeline, edit them and apply warp stabilizer.
The effects analyzes correctly the video, but when I try to export them (via Premiere, Media Encoder or After Effects) I get a generic error.
I tried to export the clips as ProRes 422 files but get the same error. Without the warp stabilizer the timeline renders without issues.
Does someone know how to solve this issue?
Thanks

What firewall/antivirus software are you using?
After Effects communicates with the background camera tracker process using TCP, and some overly aggressive firewall/antivirus software can block this communication. That may be the problem in your case.

Warp Stabilizer error: Unable to acquire rendered frame

Hi,
I am trying to apply Warp Stabilizer to a clip. Analyze process starts but then halts after 15-20 frames and a pop-up appears "Unable to acquire rendered frame".
I have previously used Warp without any hitches.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Richard

I too get this, sometimes not and the analyze just drops without a word, but most of the time I get the error. I tried on material such as: Red r3d, uncompressed fullHD/SD, mp4, canon 7D etc. pretty much all formats there is, so there isn't a problem with what type of files or what GOP structure it got. I cannot solve this even by creating a new project or reboot, I even reinstalled AE and the Matrox drivers, I tried unplugging the MXO2 mini but got the same result, so I'm pretty much done testing, I tried everything I can think of. I allocated RAM differently, shut of multiprocessing, enabled it, more RAM to few cores and then less RAM to more cores, increased cashe, disabled it.
Sometimes when I let the footage play out with RAM preview, the analyze gets to the end in the background, but whenever I just let it work for itself it drops.
So I tried everything and the error still persist. What should I do?

Help: warp stabilizer

hi everyone,
when i apply 'warp stabilizer' it shows 'initializing...' but no progress. when after minutes it stops without stabilization.
when i see a tutorial i see 'initializing...(processing something)' but mind is just saying 'initializing...' and nothing happens.
any idea how to fix it?
thank you,

any idea how to fix it?
Not really since you didn't tell us anything useful - no computer specs, no operating system, not the kind of footage you are using nor your AE settings for memory handling, caches and multiprocessing. This could be anything from permission issues at the system level to file access problems with MediaCache to simply the footage being shot the wrong way and the stabilizer not detecting any patterns for stabilization...

Warp Stabilizer creates Jello Effect

Whenever I apply warp stabilizer, it makes the footage look like jello. What settings do I need to change to stabilize it and not make it look like the jello effect?

It's not that the Warp Stabilizer is "adding" jello, rather it is accentuating that which is already in the recording to some degree during the stabilization process. There are some advanced controls for the skew that you might try, but as Ann said, some clips work and some just don't. I would blame CMOS sensors myself. In other words, if the source footage was from a CCD camera, Warp Stabilizer would never result in jello, it is already in the footage from CMOS cameras and the stabilizer just brings it out more.
Thanks

Warp Stabilizer Cripples My Computer

Just want to know if it's normal for the system to lock up if I apply warp stabilizer. It uses about 20-26 GB RAM out of the 32 GB installed. The clips are pretty long , though - 20 minutes or so. Obviously, it handles shorter clips without locking up. But I can't do much better than 32 GB of RAM. It doesn't really crash the computer (not yet). Eventually it does it's thing, but it does freeze Premiere for periods of time.
I am experimenting with different parameter settings to several clips. I assumed that once the clip is analyzed, I could preview different parameters without having to re-analyze.
CS6, Windows 7, i7-2600 3.4 GHz CPU, GTX580 Amp! Video card.

Trying to stabilise a clip as long as 20 minutes is inevitably going to take an enormous length of time, unless there is very little movement within the frames. It is not likely to lead to an acceptable result as the movement that is present will probably mean the excessive zoom is applied to stabilise it.
Stabilisation really only works with short clips, ideally with little movement apart from the jitter that is to be removed. Otherwise there is simply too much processing required.
If you persist, you will discover the other problem with the warp stabiliser - it rapidly generates enormous project files leading to Premiere slowing to a crawl. I hate to think what will happen here with stabilised 20 minute clips.
I rarely attempt to stabilise a clip longer than 20 seconds - ideally less than 10 secends - and have long since abandoned the Warp stabiliser even though it gives good results on certain types of clip. I stick to Mercalli 2.

Warp Stabilizer Does not start.

I used Dynamic link from Premiere 5.5 to AE 5.5 Production Premium Bundle. The 4 minute project seems to be OK in AE until I used Warp Stabalize. AE Either freezes or there's a blue bar with "Stalizing in the background step (1 of 2) The CPU is not running more than 3% and nothing is happening it doesn't crash the OS. I'm useing 720x480 NTSC 29.97 mp4 clips from videos created in PPCS4. I exported a 8 sec. of one clip to DV does the same thing, nothing when Warp stabilizer is used.
I had the warp stabilizer working in another project a few days ago on this system. It was a 5 second NTSC Quicktime 4:2:2 720P clip.
8GB RAM, Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, NVidia GTX 560, Aero Off
Also is there a way to apply warp stabilizer to a few seconds of 1 clip and not the entire project that has been dynamic linked to AE?

Also is there a way to apply warp stabilizer to a few seconds of 1 clip and not the entire project that has been dynamic linked to AE?
You replace the segment with an AE comp and send that AE comp. That's even in the introduction to Warp Stabilizer video on Adobe TV, so I suggest you watch the video again. The rest is unclear, but I get the impression that you create a circular relationship somewhere by having the original DV and converted clips in teh same project. Anyway, if you change your approach, this should also not occur anymore.

Warp Stabilizer glitch

Hey guys,
So a friend is having me color correct her footage for a project. She gave me her hard drive so I am directly editing from the video files on her drive (a transfer would take over five hours for all the videos).
When I go to color correct, the warp stabilizer glitches and crops the footage down to a small rectangle on the left of the screen. This has been going on for some time with my own projects, but I figured it was just a setting mishap on my part. However, she says the files look fine on her computer.
Attached is a screenshot of the working space as well as the settings for the warp. Has anyone else had this issue? It's incredibly frustrating because now I know it's only happening on my version of Premiere.

Although it's easier (more convenient) to accomplish the mission in After Effects, you can do it in PrPro as well:
1. Nest your shaky footage.
2. Within the newly created nested sequence apply Garbage Matte onto the footage to separate the woman on the foreground. E.g. draw Eight-Point Garbage Matte around the woman.
