P: Morph cut - Analyzing in Background never completes

I have a simple headshot cutting to the same head, same everything a few seconds later.

All other transitions work find. I try morph cut and see 'Analyzing in background.' Never see sign of progress - should I see it chewing through frames somehow?

I have gone to project settings. Tried both rendering settings. One thing - When I do GPU acceleration my still frames look like garbage - example:

Software acceleration looks fine. No idea if these items are related.

Have run through all preferences. Don't see anything that might be turned off. BTW - working with MBP 15" late 2013. Latest OS.

OK, now it seems Morph cuts have stopped working altogether great. Now I have "anaysing in background" across all cuts that worked fine before the update and I can't deliver. Rolling back... 
Edit: this concerned certain clips that worked before. Switching multicam clip perspective, I got some new morphs to work.

Wow!

 

That's painful. Period. Been there done the screaming at the monitor ...

 

While most of us users don't have the issue, or if we do, it's like one build or build series, it's a HUGE hassle when you do. For example/data, I only had this problem with one specific build a couple versions back, Drove me NUTs it did ...

 

But not since. No clue why some get it, many don't. Wish I did!

 

Yet some users still get this ... just ... wowza. 

 

The only things I can suggest help some with this issue, but cetainly not all. And may be worth trying for those reading this thread if they haven't already ...

 

1) Use Morph on relatively 'short' clips, 10 seconds of sequence time or less. I personally try to stay under 5. Which means judiciously choosing what needs stabilization, just doing those bits. Cutting clips into multiple sections at times, maybe even resizing the in-between to match the Morphed clips to either side.

 

2) When you gotta do long bits, like handheld "reality" shots, get experience with Morph's controls, so you both a) allow some level of motion to pass through, and b) set the type of stabilization applied to the clips.

 

That second part is crucial for many users ... learning how to modify the settings in Morph to get adequate service, but still getting through the clip analyzation being finished.

 

And ... 

 

3) as soon as you have a clip or clips finished analyzing, immediately do a full Render & Replace on the sequence! That way further playback is 'simple' for the computer, and crucially, you don't risk Premere losing the analyzation data ... which it can and will eventually.

And as soon as I'd posted that my Morph cut refused to work. Yeah, in 2024

Still not working, at least sometimes. Would be great if we saw the reason for it NOT working. Just keeps analyzing. Nesting (they are nested multicam clips) some more just produces  something like "accessing clips not possible".

At least the horrible playback was fixed from yesterday's update to today's.

By the way, I never had this issue again since Premiere Pro 2023.4. Now I'm on 2024. Guys, just update

Same sequence, it works in 2023 version, but not in 2024

I had to turn all of mine into nested subsequences.   This seemed to work.    Annoying, but works.

The only solution I found is to put your playhead on the transition where you can read "Analyzing in background" until it finishes processing. Apparently, it only does the job when you can actually see "Analyzing in background". Although it is supposed to be actually "Analyzing in background". This way I can make cuts, morph them all at once, adjust transitions on the 2nd pass, and done!

I've had similar results as you, about a third of the time it works ok. So I don't even use it much. When it does, it's great of course. But the other times ... unusable.
