HAS THE WARP STABILIZER CHANGED OR IMPROVED IN ANY MANNER IN After Effects 6.0?

It was quite an improvement over point tracking alone.
Have there been substantial further advances in the Warp Stabilizer in AE 6?
Also, has Mocha AE changed in any manner?
Thanks!

Have there been substantial further advances in the Warp Stabilizer in AE 6?
What would be "substantial"? No, apart from a few minor workflow and performance enhacements there have been no changes.
Also, has Mocha AE changed in any manner?
You still get mocha 2.x, just a slightly newer version, not mocha 3.

Warp Stabilization not working on Premiere Pro CS6 or After Effects CS6

I've imported a 30 second clip both on Premiere Pro and After Effects. I am using CS6. I used a Canon 600D and my footage is 23.976 and 24fps. I've tried both frames to see if it made a difference. All what happens is that it says step 1 out of 2. It finishes and tells me to analyze again. It doesn't actually make it to step 2 so my footage doesn't change and its getting frustrating. No idea what im doing wrong. HELP PLEASE?

As Rick says, it looks like you didn't update all of your software.
What version of Premiere did you have before?
What version of AE did you have before?
What version of Premiere do you have now?
What version of AE do you have now?
Exact version numbers down to the last decimal, please.
In the future, I'd suggest NOT updating in the middle of important projects.

5 things which should be improved in the Warp Stabilizer

1. Performance.
When stabilizing any footage I always ask myself: "What the heck is he doing there?!" not even a single core is really working hard. It looks like an idle background process The GPU is idle as well, as the analysis pass is only run on the CPU.
This maybe okay if you still need much work to do in Premiere. But often, the next steps DEPEND on the stabilization and you have to WAIT and WAIT and WAIT...
It's just painful to imagine that, running a machine with 8 cores, more than 8 times the amount of video material COULD be analyzed.
The free Deshaker for Virtualdub actually uses more cores (even though not at 100%) but analyzes at about 20-21fps compared to the Warp Stabilizer at about 4-8fps.
Admitted, the Deshakers results aren't nearly as good (especially with rolling shutter, which can be configured though, but you don't always know the right percentage for the cam you're using).
This also applies to opening projects with much stabilization data. It opens... and opens... rarely any disk activity and rarely any CPU or GPU activity. Again: WHAT IS HE DOING THERE? Just waiting for the clock itself?! Or is he sending it all to the NSA? That at least would explain the unneccesary delay:P (just kidding!)
2. Stabilization data.
For me, I wouldn't have any problem with storing it just inside a project folder or a separate file. Just add a checkbox into the plugin settings:
[x] Store stabilisation data in separate file/folder.
This may be then called [projectName].stabilization
Inside that folder, there will be maybe one file for every effect used in the project.
...or you can use the old way, if you don't have so much stabilization work to do.
3. Small bugs.
When using "stabilize only", the resulting frame, at least in Premiere Pro, has a HUGE "DC offset" sometimes. This is a term from music producing, but exactly fits in here. You can clearly see it when there are still images that shouldn't receive much of stabilization. They're somtimes shifted far out of the viewing frame, leaving big black borders, so you have to manually adjust the frame position to fit back into a "neutral" position. This could be resolved to let the whole correcting curve undergo something like a "low pass filter" which will try to keep the resulting frame SOMEHOW centered.
In this image above, from a longer clip, there isn't much motion at all. But you can see how far the offset from the actual video frame is. I have to do this for almost every video, also after I change the "smoothness" setting.
4. More control
I would LOVE to be able to disable "zoom detection", because it gives me lots of "Vertigo Effects" in many cases.
I heard this has been alredy addressed for CC.
5. Improvements / new features
One thing I always do with every stabilized video:
Instead of synthesize edges, which takes AGES to render, I just do the following:
I place the same clip, unstabilized, behind the stabilized clip (stabilized, borders only) and give the stabilized clip softened borders with "rough edges". This even still renders fine on the GPU.
This would make a great option for the stabilizer. Just call it "overlay over original with blurred edges" or something like that.
This has worked extremely well for any stabilized footage so far and isn't nearly as disturbing as the synthesized edges.
I'm considering to join the Creative Cloud, because unless I do this I don't expect to see any improvements in my old and out-dated Premiere PRO CS6...

How do you get the Warp Stabilizer VFX to work in After Effects CC?

Upon launching the Warp Stabilizer VFX an error message appears: "After Effects error. Couild not launch Adobe Analysis Server. (515) (25 101)" Am running MAC OSX 10.9.2 An error message also appears on launching After Effects CC: "Quicktime is not installed on the system. Some components will not work correctly." This OS is supposed to have Quicktime installed. Has anyone had this same problem with the warp stabilizer and been able to solve it? I am restoring old movies and this function is essential.
Thanks, Sufferincats

You need to check your user permissions and firewall network stuff. Something is simply blocking the connections.

How to make the warp stabilizer analyze interlaced (upper + lower field) instead of progressive?

I am having a little problem since I am new to Premiere pro.
Until now I always used the warp stabilizer in After Effects for single shots in need of that. But this time, I was handed a project that requires a whole lot of stabilization. My plan is to drop the whole timeline (FCP 7/ProRes422 HQ Interlaced) via XML into Premiere Pro and apply the effect there to multiple clips.
PROBLEM: When I do this, the warp stabilizer always (no matter how I interpret the footage or set the sequence) analyzes the footage progressively. At least that is what the effect preferences tab says during analysis.
In After Effects I always see which field is beeing analyzed (it is indicated by a L and an U behind the frame count). Not so in Premiere Pro. Here it always seems to analyze full frames.
I made a test and compared the results from After Effects and Premiere Pro: The file generated in Premiere Pro is much softer then the one out of After Effects even though I export both with the same output settings.
Any help would be greatly appreciated !

I just verified and the Description for Products (and possibly other objects too) are stored in table COMM_PRSHTEXT.
The relevant Data element is COMT_PRSHTEXTX which has the domain PRSHTEXT40.
If you look at this domain you have a parameter "lowercase" which is available as a flag option.
The explanation about this Flag is the following:
Lowercase letters allowed/not allowed
If this flag is set, upper case and lower case are distinguished when you enter values with screen masks.
Otherwise all the letters entered will be converted to upper case when you enter values with a screen mask.
This mechansim is in effect for all the fields referring to this domain.
Solution would be to verify if for this data-element the same Domain is used.
If yes, you can flag this option in the domain.
this should solve your problem.

Warp stabilizer - change of directories

I'm having trouble with warp stabilizer and hope someone can help. I need to mention I'm brand new to using NLEs and am following along with tutorials for about 2 weeks to learn, so I am a very basic user.
I created my sequence by selecting multiple clip in my bin and dragging them onto the "New Item" icon at the bottom of the bin, allowing Premiere Pro to auto choose all the settings based on the footage by canceling when it popped up the window with all the many many choices about your footage format. The footage is just something I found online for the tutorial. I used "Warp Stabilizer" on a clip that was jumpy and it worked fine. I did not save, or I thought it autosaved but did not. I then installed a program called "Post Haste" which creates an organized series of folders for your projects. I did this because I am trying to learn good practices and being organized seems to be very important.
I then went to "Finder (I'm on a Mac) and moved all my files for this project into the folders that "Post Haste" created. When I restarted PPcs6 it asked me where all the files were and I went and found them all and it appeared initially that everything was working fine(or at least it looked the same), until I tried to do the Warp Stabilizer again on exactly the same clip I had before (as I mentioned I did not save). This time I got the message "Warp Stabilizer requires clip dimensions to match sequence" I should also say that my fps seems to be 24 which I'm not sure they were before. I should note that I'm in the US so I'd rather be working in NTSC and not PAL. So naturally I'm a bit frustrated and more over baffled as to what happened. I am assuming that moving the files to new folders somehow broke the settings. I did find an article on Premiere Pro Project Manager which initially makes me believe that I should have somehow set up settings before moving my files but the article was very brief and I did not really get that much from it.
So I guess my questions are: What happened? How do I fix it? Did I break/change my settings by moving my files? Did the clips change from my sequence settings to their individual clip settings? I 'm not sure what format the footage I am using was shot with/in, but since it is civil war reenactment footage I'd say it was NOT shot for PAL. So how did it move to 24fps? (isn't this PAL and should I not want 30fps?)
Is there a way for me to fix the entire timeline settings to all match the sequence or should I start again?
Any help including best practices going forward would be greatly appreciated.

If your timeline consists of different dimensions and the clip you want to stabilize does not match the sequence, just nest the clip and the add the Warp Stabilizer.

Where is the Warp Stabilizer plugin located in After Effects CS6 program files?

I need to delete the plugin temporarily to gain access to my project because it constantly crashes on start up due to the Warp Stabilizer.

NOt sure if you can actually remove it,but it should be in the plugins/extensions sub-folder inside the AE install folder. Anyway, try the usual troubleshooting first before taking such a radical step that may destroy AE and require a reinstall. Flush the caches, open the project with capslock and remove the effect.

I am THRILLED with the Warp Stabilizer

I recently came back from a ten-day filming trip across the deep south. It was my first field experience using DSLR (two Canon 7Ds). I shot everything handheld with no support, with the Warp Stabilizer in mind. The results have been AMAZING beyond my expectations. Some of these shots rival the best steadi-cam, dolly and jib shots I have seen. At times, the camera seems to be floating or hovering. This is just awesome.

We're glad you like it.

How to change how many cores to use in after effects cs4

so i raced my laptop vs my desktop
desktop:intel core 2 quad 2.33 ghz 4 gigs of ram
laptop: intel core 2 duo 1.83 ghz 4 gigs of ram
and my desktop beat it by a little bit
kinda sad
then i went to
edit>preferences>memory&multiprocessing
then i clicked on render multiple frames siultanesously [clicked on the check box]
and then relized that
my laptop said
actual cpu's that will be used: 2
my desktop says
actual cpu's that will be used: 1
that is why my desktop was running so slow1
can someone help me change that?

Hoonathan:
Even though in After Effects CS4 there's a new preference item to set how many cores to use (or how many to leave idle for other purposes), you have to bear in mind that this feature works by launching a number of background processes (ie, headless versions of the full application) according to the number of cores in your machine. Because of this, the more cores you have, the more RAM you need for the feature to work at all (or it will simply refuse to launch the background processes because of insufficient RAM). For a quad-core machine, 8 GB of RAM would be the minimum recommended amount (you could probably get all 4 processes to launch with 6 GB, but I don't think that would be a good idea). You should be able to have at least 2 cores used in your desktop system, though. Go to Preferences > Memory and Multiprocessing. Of course, enable "Render Multiple Frames Simulataneously" and make sure "CPUs to leave for other applications" is set to 0 (zero). Also, check that the minimum allocation (ie, minimum RAM amount per core for the processes to launch) is 0.5 GB.
If the number of cores is still 1, try moving the Longer RAM preview/Faster rendering slider and see if at some point, it enables the second core.
In the long run, upgrading your desktop system to 8 GB of RAM (or more, if the motherboard allows it) would be the best move.
Of course, for an in-depth description of all settings involved, take a look at the Memory & Multiprocessing preferences section in After Effects Help.

I'm having trouble with the develop module in LR5.4. Any adjustments are taking effect, but only viewable in the filmstrip, not on the main photo. The navigator will go grey, as does the main area too. This applies to all edits done in develop module. I have posted several times on the forum with no responses to address this, and have seen others with the same issue. I have even gone as far as to do a complete re-install of LR5, with no success. I'm at a loss, and I depend on it for so much editing. Please help.

Render Work Area/Warp Stabilizer Changes Video Duration

Hi everyone,
I'm quite new to Premiere Pro and I have no doubt this question has a simple answer.
I've put in a small video, say 5 seconds into my timeline. I then for example apply the warp stabiliser effect. I think select Sequence - Render Work Area.
But every time I do it, the full video is no longer showing. It's like it has kept the same amount of frames, but because warp stablizer (I'm assuming) has inserted frames to smooth it out, I'm only seeing a fraction of the total clip length.
So video length is still 5 seconds, but I'm now only seeing say, 60% of what was shown before.
Just for further info, I'm using a 720HD 30fps sequence, but the video in question is a 120fps from a GoPro. I wonder if that's causing the issue?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Jonathan,
I hope you get a good answer from the gurus at ADOBE on this one. I use ProDADS Mercalli V2+ Stablizer in Cs5.5.2 with 4 cores Xeon processor, i suggest you trial it as I have had no issues with the exception of cutting the clip after stablization, do it befor hand. I was thinking of upgrading to 6.1 ?
Good luck

Has the education discount changed in the UK?

I was told by a friend recently that they bought a base level Macbook Pro using the Education discount and got 14% off. However, looking today, the most I got off was £30. Does any one know, has the discount changed? Or am I just not looking in the right place?!

Thanks for all the replies, I guess it is one of those quirks. I uploaded some of the images into Photoshop and the same clipping appeared in Camera Raw, thus it probably not LR Preference file corruption so I guess I didn't do the job right first time round!
Perhaps you adjusted those images with a different rendering intent, or they simply have blown highlights that aren't really recoverable. When I see something like this in LR it was usually done on purpose, but for a forgotten reason......

My 4S battery life is very short. I have upgraded to the new software with no improvement. Any suggestions?

My iPhone 4s battery life is very short. I have done the most recent upgrade with no improvement. Any solutions on the way?

I had not tried that article, however I already went throught the troubleshooting assistant, which covers everything that article has.
I am about to try to delete and re-install iTunes though, which was mentioned in your artile link.
Thanks for the help.
I'll post my findings/results.
