Flickering video with Warp stabilizer

Hi all,
I have a problem what more of you maybe have seen the past month, the flickering with warp stabilizer.
Now i already changed the renderer setting in project settings into Mercury Playback Engine to Software Only, but this didn't solve the problem.
My specs:
Macbookpro 15 inch retina end 2013,
2,3 ghz i7
16 gb ram
nvidia GT750M 2gb
OSX 10.9.5
Will update to Yosemite solve it or not?

Hi Dave
I solved my problem with the next 2 things:
- changed the renderer setting in project settings into "Mercury Playback Engine Software Only
- changed the renderer setting in media encoder into "Mercury playback engine software only
Hope this will solve your problem to.

Help with Warp Stabilizer in After Effects CS5.5

Hey guys, I am currently experiencing some crazy problems with warp stabilizer.... Everytime it warp stabilize, yes the footages is smooth and all, but the whole footages wombles and warp... Views start to get distorted... I changed the stabilisation method frm sub-space warp to position, but then the stabilization is not efficent at all... My video isnt a green screen, so I cant use tis guy's method of outsmarting the warp stabilizer... http://www.cameraman.com/2011/stabilize-your-shots-with-ae-warp-stabilizer
Please help... My client needs my STABLE FOOTAGES, soon....

Watch the videos by Chris Meyer pointed to from here:

Sending to Speedgrade with Warp Stabilizer Effect

I finished a locked cut in Premiere CS6 and hit "send to adobe speedgrade". However, speedgrade won't display any clip that has the warp stabilizer effect. Anyone know how to fix this? I'm working on a mac. Thanks

Hi abcdlee,
I've used this many times with my Premiere Pro projects, didn't come across any issues in getting them to display in SpeedGrade. Is it really just particular shots with warp stabilizer or do you have other shots not showing up properly as well?
Theoretically it should make no difference whether you use an effect such as warp stabilizer - as the images are being rendered before they show up in SpeedGrade, it should all work the same.
Thanks for your feedback.

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.

Clips with warp stabilizer minimizes?

Hi,
I have some interview clips on my V1 in premiere, and on the V2 I have some clips with motion which has the warp stabilizer on. When the V1 and the V2 overlaps, the warp stabilized clips is minimized and fills only a bit of the screen (at the top left corner). I have tried different settings, but it is still a problem.
What am I doing wrong?

Rameez
Not sure what to do here. I need to get something out and this issue is not letting me do this. I too am getting a weird flickering
on the clips that have a warp stabilizer effect on them.
I tried changing my frame rate to 30p from 29.97 and then switching to the playback to GPU Acceleration software only.
When I add this to the queue and export from Media Encoder, I still get the flickering. And then when I try top exporting from PP with the GPU acceleration software only selected,
it is giving me an unknown error after a min of trying to render.
I have tried exporting it several different ways and out if PP, still no luck.
Not sure how to reset my preferences.

How to "analyze" multiple clips with "Warp stabilizer"-effect preset

Is there a simple way to "analyze" multiple clips that have the Warp Stabilizer effect attached?
I have a sequence with 100 clips, which all have a customized Warp Stabilizer effect preset attached. I can attach the effect to all the clips very easily, but afterwards I have to manually press "Analyze" on each clip, which is quite irritating... Is there a shortcut?
I don’t use nesting because I have to tweak the effect-settings on some of the clips…

https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
Yes, sadly custom presets with warp stabilizers don't work correctly. You have to go hit analyze manually for every clip. For you that may be quicker than changing your two settings for each clip. It is a bummer though. We actually use this effect several hundred times per week and prefer the "Position, Scale, Rotation" method in the settings but we can't use the custom preset because it doesn't properly re-analyze automatically like the default effect does. I'm not sure whether it'd be a bug report or a feature request (in my opinion it's a bug) but definitely report it to the link above.

Flickering video with correct field order? help!

On the moment I've got a long term running problem.
I've got a uncompressed 8bit quicktime movie, saved using the sheer video codec with adobe's premiere pro on a machine running windows.
I convert this file to a m2v file so I can import it in DVDSP and burn it on a DVD. When viewed on a CRT (tv) monitor, all movement 'flickers' awkward. This seemed to me a clear case of wrong interlacing. After checking this didn't seem to be the problem, field choice was correctly set to 'bottomfield', the right choice for PAL interlaced video.
My second thought was this could be a windows-mac misinterpretation of some kind. Therefore I encoded the sheer uncompressed file another time to a uncompressed file using compressor, and then compressed it to a mpeg2 file. This didn't help; the video was still flickering on TV.
I thought, in this case, compressor somehow wasn't able to make it bottomfield, so I started trying all kinds of combinations and software to get the stuff lower field.
Two things helped. The first was to de-interlace the material in compressor, but this isn't the nicest option when your base-material is interlaced.
The second was to import the uncompressed sheer file into Adobe's After Effects (interpret as: lower field interlaced) and exporting it as uncompressed progressive; compressing this file to mpeg 2 (interlaced: lower field) using compressor solved the problem. hurrah!
But then another problem arose..
When interpreting the material as lower field in AE, the titles at the end of the movie turned really ugly, like a mouse had bitten small bits out of them..
This didn't occur when the material is interpreted as progressive, but when this is rendered to a 8bit uncompressed quicktime file, and then compressed to mpeg2 using compressor the movement flickering turns up again on CRT monitors.
The (base)material is full of strokes when viewed in Quicktime and filmed using a Betacam SP camera PAL, so it can't be progressive.
Is there another explanation for the flickering except from wrong interlacing?
So yes, How do I solve this? (with compressor)
So no, How can it that the flickering still occurs even when I export on fields: lower with compressor?
I hope that someone can help me cause it's really eating my nerves now..
(ps I hope that I didn't make to much faults in my english..)

Trouble with Warp Stabilizer in Premiere Pro

I have one simiple clip that I keep trying to stabilize and I can't see the effect. I've had this problem for months with several different projects with no luck. It goes through the motions of analyzing and stabilizing but won't show the resulting effect. It just freezes on various last graphics seen.
I've tried matching sequence settings, tried nesting the sequence into a separate sequence and can't seem to see the stabilized video. It just freezes on one frame, or a gray screen or holds whatever was the last video in the program frame. It even shows the desktop sometimes. When I turn off the effect the clip plays fine (unstabilized). I'm trying to stabilize a time lapse I shot on a windy day... so it was bouncing around a little. I've tried moving all of the scratch disks to another drive that was clear and free of space. I'm still getting nothing in playback.
Any help is appreciated.

That worked! You rock Bob Peru! Thanks so much for the reply!

OpenCL warp stabilizer renders in a small box in the top left corner

Hi everyone,
I have just built a new computer with the following specs:
Premiere 8.1.0 (81) build
i7 4790s haswell-refresh,
16gb Corsair RAM (4x4 DDR3 1600),
Gigabyte Z97MX Gaming 5
2x A-Data SP920 128gb SSD
Sapphire Radeon HD 7750
Windows 8.1 Pro CZ
Now I know this is a very weak configuration compared to other builds here, but I had hoped it would work fine for my amateur Full-HD workflow of clips mostly under 30mins.
The problem is; when I enable OpenCL acceleration, then all clips with warp stabilizer become about 1/4 of the preview window; it carries over to the final render. I have tried this both with the AMD card and without it (having OpenCL enabled with the Intel HD4600). No avail.
Now the funny part is that I used to have this same card running in my previous system; running on an obsolete Gigabyte UD3 with Core i5 750 in it and... IT WORKED! It was with the same Premiere version, running on the same OS. I've ditched that computer just a few days ago, but my new computer has this inexplainable problem.
The build is not the issue, as I had the computer tested and everything is stable with decent temperatures.
I am also having quite a lot of crashes while editing, but I think that's due to the infamous RedGiant suite which as I read on the forums is likely to blame. It's ok, i just need to save often. Would Neat Video be better? Does anybody know?
Another problem is the sluggishnes and lags when my clip reaches beyond 30 mins; I don't think that's ok, my videos produced with EOS M should not be anything demanding for this setup; when I monitor the ram usage, it never gets above 8gb (and yes, I have allowed CC to use up to 13gb of the total ram); also other resources are almost idle during editing.
The sluggishnes and lag is however even worse in SpeedGrade; over there when I move any slider, I need to wait for seconds! It somehow improves over time, but again, I just have an opinion now that this software suite is very very badly made. I am happy I am not using this to make money...
Please correct me if I'm wrong and any links that could help me resolve the problems are super-welcome.
regards,
Jan

Thanks for the report. We believe we have identified the issue and are working on a fix. For now the workaround is rendering in Software mode.

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.
Schwizer

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.

Warp Stabilizer in Premiere CS6 is excellent

I shot some video from a helicopter over Iguassu Falls in South America recently. The clips were unuseable UNTIL
CS6 came along with Warp Stabilizer.
The link below shows how effextive the Stabilizer effect is.
http://youtu.be/mhNplx5tBQU

Thanks for you comments. Cam shake is a big devil for us amateurs. I have upgraded from a large Sony FX1 to a tiny tiny Panasonic TM700
and have major problems shooting hand held without shake, even though the cam has a good stablizer.
It is just that the cam is so tiny. So now I use a little "mealeable" tripod, 2 arms are my handle and the third arm dug into my tummy.
Really should use a full tripod, but how inconvenient when travelling.
Then I look at all the fellow travellers who are not into the hobby like I am. Some poor audience????
Now I have the CS6 Premiere Warp Stablizer. but but lots of changes to the Premiere workspace, especially the timeling area.
Do not know if I like the changes YET!! We shall see.
Thanks again

Dynamic link warp stabilizer 5.5 issues

Been messin around with the demo while I patiently wait for my upgrade to 5.5 and I've come across an issue with the warp stabilizer when sending multiple clips from the timeline to and from PPro 5.5. If I send out a clip, use warp stabilizer in AE and save the project the results are fantastic and it's right there on the timeline. Groovy.. Until I send another clip out. The second clip looks great in AE... stabilizes fine. Save project as new name in AE, exit... back to PPro and the clips will be the same! It'll duplicate the first stabilized clip! Sometimes I can delete the instance from the timeline, and drag the AE comp from the bin back to the timeline and it'll work until I do another clip then it'll be a duplicate again. Also, sometimes it'll flicker from one comp to the new comp and back again. Like it's confused about which comp to play in PPro. I'm hoping that when I export it'll be fine, but this seems quite serious.
I've tried dumping the cache, cleaning out the project, saving the AE comp projects to different folders and drives. Doesn't seem to matter.
Oh... btw.. specs:
i7 970
Asus P6x58D-e
24GB G-Skill 1600 kit
C: Revodrive 2 120GB SSD
D: WD Black 1TB for apps (not Adobe apps, they are on the SSD)
E: WD Black 2TB for video
I: Removable dock with 1TB Samsung spinpoint F3
F: LG BDR
MSI GTX 560 Ti OC (Works great with MPE modified .txt file!)
Win 7-64 Pro (because of 24GB)

This bug has nothing to do with Warp Stabilizer, it affects all DL's and has been around from the beginning.
It is a PITA. If you keep all your compositions in the "same" AE project it seems to work better. If you do a "save as" and rename AE project the bug will appear again.
Also DL's are always "un-linking" for some reason in CS5, CS5.01, CS5.02 and CS5.03.
I hope CS5.5 fixes this issue.

The Next Version of Premiere Pro CC - Warp Stabilizer

With the recent post of what's coming in the next version of PPro CC, I was sad to see no mention of Warp Stabilizer. As amazing of an effect as it is, it needs a bit of help. I know there are improvements and fixes that probably weren't mentioned in the post so I'm still holding out hope. We use Warp Stabilizer more than anyone I know. Several hundred times per week. Yes, per week, no exaggeration. Over the last few years, we've built an entire style of shooting around the strengths of this awesome effect that emulates the use of a slider, steadicam and crane all without having to have them. So we've become really familiar with its PROS and CONS.
Here is a short list of SEVEN things that should be addressed with regards to warp stabilizer within Premiere Pro CC to maximize its effectiveness (and yes we did submit multiple Feature Requests for these so far to no avail):
FIrst and foremost and by far MOST IMPORTANT to us - Allow users to create a CUSTOM PRESET with any altered settings that will engage (or begin Analyzing/Stabilizing) automatically when added to a clip!! This is huge. If you double click on Warp Stabilizer with a clip selected, it is applied to that clip and begins the process of stabilizing that clip. However, the vast majority of the time we need to alter the settings of the effect. If we create a custom preset, that's all fine and good, but when we add that to a clip, it does NOT begin stabilizing. Instead you have to manually go into the Effect Controls for each clip and select ANALYZE. Huge waste of time when adding this effect to hundreds of clips. PLEASE FIX!
BUG when saving projects!!! - If this is not a bug, it needs to be fixed because it's awful. - If you have more than one sequence with multiple warp stabilizations added and GPU ACCELERATION IS ENABLED, then after you SAVE a project (or if it auto-saves) when you toggle between the two sequences you are hit with a delay or freeze while the render bar goes from Yellow to Red...and finally back to yellow again. No work can be done during this delay/freeze. The more stabilized clips, the longer the delay. For us, on our larger projects this delay is sometimes 30 seconds to almost a full minute! Once it turns back to yellow, you can toggle between sequences without the delay...but as soon as it saves again...and you toggle between sequences, the delay hits again. If this is a bug, or somehow a result of Premiere Pro's way of CACHING projects after it's saved, then I sincerely hope it's fixed asap. It's awful!
The third is more of a feature request than a fix - Add the ability to set the maximum scale to work WITH the smoothness control so that if you never want your clips to scale more than say 105%, you can set that and have Warp Stabilizer stabilize the clip and adjust the "smoothness" percentage from the default "50%" down to whatever it needs to be in order for that clip to be fully stabilized and scaled to no more than 105%. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is not possible currently. Right now we have to manually adjust each clip if it is initially scaled too much by dropping down the Smoothness %.
Another great feature would be the ability to manually keyframe the scaling so that if you have a longer clip that starts fairly steady, then needs to be smoothed out a bit more in the middle, before it ends relatively steady again, you can slowly and seamlessly ramp up the stabilization/scaling so that the whole clip doesn't have to be scaled to make up for the misgivings of one portion of the clip.
Minor bug - sometimes when you have extended the length of a clip, the clip needs to be re-analyzed again. However, the "analyze" button is often greyed out. You need to click away from the clip and then click on the clip again to make that button appear again. Nothing big, but still, a small bug.
After Effects Warp Stablizer VFX feature carried over - It would be nice to carry over to Premiere the ability to isolate what in frame is supposed to be stable (sometimes someone nodding their head can trick the effect into thinking that it's the camera shaking). Great to have it in AE, but would be nice to carry over to Premiere Pro CC.
Finally, I've always believed that no matter how cool "Subspace Warp" sounds, it is not as effective as "Position, Scale & Rotation". This SHOULD be the deafult "method" within the Warp's settings. I'd say 95% of the thousands and thousands of clips we've stabilized we ended up switching the "Method" within the settings to "Position, Scale & Rotation" because it either scaled the shot less or created less "wobble" in the resulting stabilized clip. I know everyone shoots differently, and sometimes Subspace Warp is the way to go, but we have stabilized all sorts of shots with great success by simply switching this setting. Granted...if #1 on this list was taken care of we could then easily have this set as our default setting.
Hopefully this list either reaches someone within Adobe that can do something about them or at the very least inspires others to write feature requests and bug fixes as we have. Even resolving #1, #2 and #3 would be HUGE and would save our editors probably 10 hours per week. It's an awesome effect, far better than "smoothcam" on FCP7, it just needs a little love.

All good points, thanks for posting.
For #1, you can make this work in AE at least. This tip is from my colleague DanW:
If you make a preset by only selecting the values you change (and not a preset for the whole effect) then it will auto-analyze on apply.
Simplest way: apply WS, make edits, hit UU to reveal changed params, select all "i-beams" in the Timeline, drag them to the Effects & Presets panel.
For #4, you can get manual control over the scaling by setting Framing to Stabilize Only, and then keyframe Additional Scale to taste. At one point we were going to try to automate this, but found automatic scaling to be very subjective as to the best way to handle it.
For #6, Warp Stabilizer will not track areas with zero alpha channel. So you can pre-mask the input to reveal just the parts you want to stabilize. Do this inside a nested sequence, with Warp Stabilizer applied downstream (in the outer sequence). The just-announced masking & tracking capabilities of the next CC version should be handy for this.

Hi DaveS!
Great to hear that you guys are taking a look at this list. Hope it helps make it better. #1, #2, and #3 are by far the biggest time killers for us so hopefully they'll be able to be fixed/resolved within Premiere soon.
Regarding your note about #1: Allowing this functionality within Premiere specifically would be very helpful. Would it be possible to eventually allow Premiere to auto-analyze when a saved custom preset is applied to a clip? I tried it in AE as you suggested, and couldn't figure it out. But realistically we use Warp Stabilizer on so many clips that round tripping literally hundreds of short clips to AE would be just as time consuming as going into the settings in premiere for each one and adjusting the parameters. We usually adjust the method and then adjust the smoothness scale so that it doesn't "Auto-Scale" more than 104%. That's where our #3 suggestion would help. I didn't quite understand how to make a preset of specific changed values. I tried, but couldn't follow DanW's suggestion. Granted, I'm not that great with AE. I really just use it for the Warp VFX's ability to isolate what in frame is stabilized (hope that comes to Premiere one day) and that's about it. And I really only have to do that a couple times per project. Anyway, I'm sure I'm doing DanW's suggestions wrong but regardless, I'm not sure it would save us much time when we have several hundred individual little clips that would all need to be sent to AE. Any hope for adding this auto-analyze functionality (hopefully allowing a custom preset on the whole effect and all it's adjusted parameters) in Premiere CC?
Regarding your note about #4: That is a valid work around for now. I appreciate that thought. Thanks!
Regarding your note about #6: I think I half understand what you described. I'd have to try it. Although, as I said before, the AE way of doing it is ideal and I just hoped that ability to show the tracking points and delete them over time would come to Premiere CC one day. When the next CC comes out I'd love to try this masking method although I think I'll have to claify exactly what you want me to do just to be safe. Is there no hope to port this added functionality that's in AE's Warp VFX over to Premiere's Warp Stabilizer? Again, not the end of the world for us. I'd rather #1, #2 and #3 be addressed inside Premiere Pro CC for now.
Fixing the first 3 on this list would be HUGE time saver for us.
Thanks again DaveS to you and the rest of the Adobe team for looking into this list. Very much appreciated.
