Video stabilizer stopped working (PE9)

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 18:09:21 GMT

I've used PE9 for a while, and had decent success with the Video Stabilizer. However, Video Stabilizer has stopped working. To test whether zoom was working in the past I would max out Smoothing, reduce Zoom to zero, and turn off "Limit To Zoom". That makes it really obvious when stabilizer is working, due to the "dancing" black borders. In the final output, the zoom slider of Stabilizer works exactly as if I'd changed zoom settings in Motion, but the Smoothing slider has no effect. The final video is exactly the same as the original clip. I even tried starting a new project with just the 1 clip, tried many different settings on stabilizer, pre-rendered, and rendered final video to new file.

The two test clips are from a GoPro 2. One of them is the same source clip I used in a past project with no problems. The computer hardware, OS, and PE installation haven't changed.

I'm stumped, and I really need this to work for PE to be worth anything to me. Any help would be appreciated.

Why are my clip markers not saved?

I'm using PE 9. My clip markers are not getting saved.

1) Open a blank test project.

2) Select Organize \ Media.

3) Double-click one of the clips, and the preview window opens with the clip.

4) I move the Current-time Indicator to the point I want a clip marker.

5) Click (menu) Clip \ Set Clip Marker \ Next Available Numbered.

6) When I move the Current-time Indicator away from that location I can see the marker is visibly there.

7) I also set In and Out markers.

My understand (from what little documentation exists) is that that is enough to persist clip markers on that clip, for all future projects that include that clip. However, as soon as I close that clip, all markers are lost forever. I can reopen it (from organize \ media) and see no markers. I can also add it to a timeline, and still there are no markers. The only way I can get markers to save is to add the clip to a timeline, place markers in the timeline, and save the project. This is not supposed to be necessary according to the docs.

As far as I can tell there is no "save" action needed to persist markers, and saving the project seems inappropriate, but I save it anyway out of desperate frustration.

What am I doing wrong?
