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.

Well even ad the smallest poaaible setting, the warning still sows up. It's better to have a frame jump than a red line across the scree. How completely frustrating. I may abandon this project in Premiere Pro and go to another program. 20 min video and over 13 hours in editing it and reediting due to the Morph Cut errors. Ridiculous. I can only hope that as AI becomes more integrated, we'll be able to program it for vocal pops. Oy!

I found a You Tube video that helps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXDtqFlHzso. I'm going cut by cut and adjusting them to a smaller morph length (since it's easy razor cuts). It's tedious and time consuming. Fingers crossed. In the future, I'll set the individual morph lengths as I edit instead of using the auto size.

I have this same problem on my video in sept of 2023. I'm so frustrated. I have a speaking video where I was editing out a lot of illeteration skips like um and so. The original video is 20 minutes long and with the pauses edited out it's just at 16 min. Editing out the pauses makes the difference in this video, but the morph cut is not working.

Hello, I am attempting to merge 2 clips with Morph Cut in Premiere 23.6.0, but the effect does not ever produce results. The "analyzing in background" banner will appear for a split second, then dissappear, and the clips remain unchanged. I have tried increasing and decreasing the length of the transition, as well as tried testing on other clips to no avail.

I have tried this on my M1 Ultra Mac Studio as well as my M2 Max Macbook Pro, and it behaves exactly the same on both machines. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hey Hecubus114,

Sorry for the issue. Could you let us know what type of shots are you adding morph cuts to? A stable frame with a talking head is ideal for adding the morph cut effect. Please refer to this article for more information: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/premiere-pro/using/morph-cut.html.

Thanks,

Ishan

Thank you for the reply. I am attempting to merge 2 clips from a timelapse where there is a jump in the frames. I have done this before.

The problem is that Morph Cut is simply not doing anything. Everything behaves as if it has been successfully applied, but the actual clips remain unchanged.

I hope that's a rhetorical question. Premiere is loaded with features that kinda sorta work. This is one of them.

This is still a problem in 2023. The morph cut should only analyze the frames it needs to, not the entire clip. This is silly!

Morph cut is buggy, erratic, unstable. When it works it is amazing but most of the time the "Analyzing in background" bar keeps appearing even after rending, but sometimes after multiple tries it disappears. The message bar also appears frequently in exported media. Some have posted that this doesn't happen if you export from Premiere directly, But I've had it happen both ways.

Sometimes it renders successfuly, then it shows up later in the same editing session mysteriously with the "Analyzing in background" again.

I just exported a rendered video and the finished product came out with the words and stripes "Analyzing in background" instead of a morph cut on the final video. This feature is obviously broken. I have the third best consumer video card that can be had (RTX 3080) so that's not an issue.

Hi All - Thanks for your input on this. I'm a long time Premiere user, first time trying Morph Cut. I used it on my first interview - all went well and looked great. Trying on a second interview, I can't get through the "Analyzing in Background" flag. My interviews are shot in 4K, edited in 1080p, static plain background. I tried the Render and Replace option which turned all transistions into cross-dissolves. That didn't look quite right, so I went back to replace all with Morph Cut. The first two cuts on the timeline look fine, but all the rest continue to "Analyize in the Background." The edited interview is less than 5 minutes. Morph Cuts are set to 10 frames. As I move through each transition frame-by-frame, the orange banner only shows up on two frames per transition.

I suggest Adobe get this plugin out of Premiere pro and give it to a team who can make it work since I've had problems with Morph cut for 5-7 years already and Adobe cannot make it work right. Ok, it's 2022.3.1 and my morph cut gets stuck analysing a short clip cut from both sides for ... ever. I don't know what to say. I'm speechless... Adobe?

Adobe Premiere Pro 2023 (v23.3). Still facing this bug. Even after multiple attempts of 'Render In to Out', I kept running into a wall. The 'analyzing' ribbon was also coming in the final video export. To tackle, I changed the transition time of the morph cut by 1 frame. Worked like a charm.

Hi,

I think I may have found the issue - hopefully, this will be the same for others.

I found that the reason the effect wouldn't analyze when using Sub clips was because I still had In/Out markers in place on the original clip. I'm assuming this restricted access to the frames it needed to analyse.

Once I remove the In/Out markers on the original footage the subclips were analysed and the effect worked.

Thanks

This gave me so much hope. I had in and out points, but sadly it still didn't work. My footage was a sequence though, because naturally, as an interview, the audio was recorded on a nicer microphone onto a field recorder instead of being plagued by the noise of the camera. So even after clearing the in and outs, still stuck at analyzing. I had to render out around where I needed it in order to get it to work which is BS. Premiere has some great tools, and is also complete rubbish at the same time.
