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.

    Hi. After applying a morph cut transition on two videos and exporting, there is still the line in the middle. I don´t know why, but I have to get rid of that as soon as possible.

    This is a first time I have a problem with a morph cut transition like this. Thanks for replies.

    Hi Trickooo,

    It might be the kanji character behind the head. You want a very simple background, that artwork makes it not so simple.

    Thanks,
    Kevin

    But the camera is static so I hoped the morph cut can render that. Nah, thanks for reply

    I had that same issue.

    To most effectively use morph cut you literally have to :

    Export the first clip to morph, export the second clip to morph, import the 2 new separate files and apply morph cut.

    Adobe Premiere should do this automatically, however it runs into one of two issues.

    Issue 1: The source file is too large. (my source files are 500mb - 25gb)

    Issue 2: The MORPH CUT is being applied to the same clip, which causes the ANALYZING IN BACKGROUND error.

    The best way to solve it is to reduce the source file size, export and reimport your clips, and morph between two different source files.

    Adobe should do this automatically, but until then this is what we have to do. It's inefficient and redundant - I'm using a Morph Cut between two cuts, I should not have to cut before and after the morph cut in extreme attempts to reduce my source file size.

      This seems to have been the source of my problem, but I inserted a cut on both sides of the transition and it analyzed within seconds.

      Thanks!

        Hello,

        Morph cut on Premiere is not working, it analyzes in the background indefinitely. Has anyone else experienced this issue? If so, how did you resolve this error?

        Thanks.

          Hey Jonathan,

          A few things to try:

            1. Modifying the duration of the morph cut transition

            2. Clear your caches/preferences.

            3. Create a new project and  import the old project into that.

          Let us know how that goes.

          This is so frustrating. The problem seems to persist, even after several updates. Workarounds like nesting, trimming and joggling everything around are ok for the moment... but in the end workarounds are NOT the solution. Is petergaraway Adobe actually adressing this problem?

              For the red stripes: turn off MPE hardware (ist a know issue with El Capitan)

              For the Morph cut you might want to read this: Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Troubleshooting the Morph Cut transition in Premiere Pro

                Stripes - As mentioned, I figured that one out.

                Troubleshooting doc - thanks saw it. Mine really is a talking head. My two shots are just truncating a locked off camera. The problem is not that it takes a long time to complete. It doesn't seem to start. Am looking for some evidence that this analysis actually happens.

                Thanks tho.
