Feature Request: Warp Stabilizer lock button

Since it’s obvious that Premiere will never get a Warp stabilizer that:

  • will not reset if a stabilized clip length is changed
  • work with a time-remapped footage

… it needs a simple but powerful upgrade like this:

The new Lock button in Warp Stabilizer

Since every time you stabilize footage Premiere writes data (you can tell it by the size of the project file that becomes bigger with every stabilization alone), this new Lock button would lock this data preventing Warp stabilizer from resetting with every minor change to a clip. In case you want to unlock the effect you hit this button again (it changes from “Lock” to “Unlock” and back). So locking is a fast (instantaneous, unlike Freezing for Roto in AE) and nondestructive process, it just locks the data of the part of the clip where the stabilization was applied so if you just drag the clip out beyond the stabilization part the rest of it will still be not stabilized but the locked stabilization will remain locked no matter what you do to it until unlocked even if you retime the whole clip or just the part you stabilized. It’s simple yet functional mechanism.
