Having the same problem with Warp and MXF (just applied updated  patch files from Adobe this morning before starting.). MXF footage, 1250 frames. 8GBs RAM. Lots of RAM available according to task manager (2.5 GBs free). Can't get past the Click to Analyze phase (I ran analyze twice). So I went ahead and exported to MXF setting. Got to 99% and is stuck there, with 0 time remaining.   However, TM shows it's still "running".

When I cancel nothing happens, CS 6 does not respond, eventuallly crashes, and I restart.., found the footage that was being converted in the Acobe Project directory, but it is not converted and shows Click Analyze to Begin banner on the whole bit (G). Fun!

Back to CS 5.5 and wait for fix?

CS 5.5 seems to be working fine, though I don't have PS installed on it, so have to move all footage needing to be converted to my Mac, PITA.

Thanks in advance. Hope this helps Adobe!

Using the default settings. I don't know how long I'm supposed to wait for it to come back to me. It's a short clip, so I would assume 10 minutes max???? Were your files you tested shot in slo mo? Not that it should matter.

Re-installed CS6 and now Wap Stabiliser in Premiere Pro works fine, but I can no longer use the "Replace with After Effects composition" option.

I'm seriously considering going back to 5.5

The same here. The stabilizer works fine in After Effects. The same shot in Premiere does not give any result after the rendering. The rendered result is not transfered to the timeline. (the 3D cameratracker is not really working in either program)

 

EDIT: I found I need to render the timeline (by pressing enter) to render the effect again. So, the analyzer stabilizes everything, but doesn't apply the results unless you render the timeline, again.

This means twice the render time, compared to After Effects. I think it's a program coding error.

Check your Project size?  Premiere has a problem with Warp Stabilizer where it will increase your project to unmanageable sizes.  Premiere will slow down to a crawl.

So that is why my project file is heading for 600,000 KB on a 25 minute single timeline !

Project save/autosave is odd, sometimes it is OK, others it seems to take forever.

I too have Mercalli and get good results there.  I find that Warp is successful only on fairly static clips, and even there, I have had some odd results, e.g. an unexplained zoom in mid-clip, and some alarming jello effects where there is moving water in the clip.

I could not help laughing at Jim's remark. I remember showing my 20 minute video of our trip to Italy to my brothers way back in 2002. In fact, it was my first Premiere project. I had the sense to cut it way down from 20 one hour tapes to 20 minutes. My oldest brother may have thought he was being a little insulting with his remark, but I was overjoyed. He said "It looks like a PBS travelogue." That was, of course, exactly what I was going for with the video and the voiceover.

In any case, I was able to use Warp Stabilizer this weekend on some footage of a children's birthday party. I can't show the results because of the subject matter. Not that they were doing anything wrong other than savagely beating a poor Super Mario Brother's pinata, but I don't have a release for them all.

I was a bit surprised at how long it took. I have a state of the art PC, and apparently the GPU doesn't help. I liked the results, but I sure would like to know what resources the effect utilizes. This is a screenshot of what it looked like about two minutes into the 11 minute process (the effect window estimated 8 minutes) for stabilizing a 60 second video (1800 frames). I think maybe I will start another thread to inquire about this. The CPU wasn't even breathing hard, the hard drives I am using for cache are in RAID0 - so should be reasonably fast.  Hmmm. I wonder?

It depends on the footage you shot, however, perhaps if you slice the footage up into smaller portions - using natural breaks where a transition or breakaway to b-roll might take place, then you can apply Warp to shorter clips. Probably with a lot less problem. Give it a try. I read about doing that in the Help files - although technically it was for After Effects 5.5

Ken,

That is not exactly what was meant by breaking up the footage.

Put all of the clips on the same timeline if you wish. Just apply the Warp Stabilizer to each one. It will take some time to analyze the footage, and you probably ought to think about what you want to do with any sections that are really too shaky to properly fix. Usually a little B-roll takes care of that, or use time remapping to create some slow motion for the area just before the problem footage, so you can possibly cut out the offending frames. Or use a snapshot.

One minute is a lot of frames. However, sometimes you have no choice.

Some footage is just too terrible to use. Don't try to save it. Just use the Stabilizer of slightly shaky footage. Slightly. OK?

No need to use any other programs. No exporting until the project is finished.
