Stabilize multiple clips sequentially on the timeline

I have 20 4k clips on the timeline, I made corrections to them and at the end, I want to apply "Warp Stabilizer".

If I do it at the same time for all the clips my iMac is not able to do it.

Often some of the clips are not stabilized and I have to press "analyze" again.

Even worse, sometimes the computer hangs because of the hard work because it tries to apply the "warp stabilizer" effect to all the clips at the same time.

I need to find a way to overcome this issue. The best thing would be if Premiere would apply the effect to the clips sequentially, but I don't know how to do it.

I hope you can suggest a new way to solve this problem, thanks.

    Are you working in a company that has many CC licenses ?

    Extensions like this should be free. Besides, they should be standard in Premiere...

    This extention looks like it will do what you want:

    To the people saying change your shooting process.. an editor does not always have control over the shooting process. What does it matter to you if someone needs to warp every clip? Sometimes it just gives that extra buttery look. Sometimes you have really shaky footage. Get over yourselves and don't clog up a support thread with unhelpful "tips".

    I wanted to stabilize my entire 30min-vacation movie (filmed with my mobile, of course without tripod), but noticed that stabilizing multiple clips in Adobe Premiere Pro is still not possible/workable in 2023. However nowadays a user friendly, easy-to-use plugin is available:

    https://exchange.adobe.com/apps/cc/107996/batch-stabilization-analysis-for-warp-stabilizer

    I tried the free trial version which allows you to stabilize max. 5 clips. I've now bought the paid version ($29 not including tax) and can now stabilize many more clips sequentially. The way it works after installing the plugin (=easy) is: In Premiere Pro select the clips you want to stabilize, select Window-->Extensions-->Batch stabilization For Warp Stabilizer so a nice dialog appears, push AddClipsToQueue and press Start. The plugin skips any clips that already have a WarpStabilizer-effect and clips that have a Speed-effect (WarpStabilizer and Speed-effects cannot be used at the same time). The advantage for me is that I do not have to learn scripting in Adobe at all. Have fun!

    Conflicts of interest statement: None (I am a simple user, not an employee from Vakago or Adobe).

    Hi. Sorry to reply to such an old post, but this issue is still kicking around. My solution was to make a macro. With the timeline selected, i would find "warp" on effects, click the analyze button (no other effects applied, so it stayed on the same place. This click on the same place is easy to setup on a macro software), and select timeline again. Loop as needed.

    Mark In and Out points in Timeline. 
    Hit Enter. 
    That will Analyze all clips at once. It will take a while though.

    There is a plugin on Exchange that allows analysing clips sequentially: Batch Stabilization for Warp Stabilizer | Adobe Exchange

     

    Adobe should add something like this to Premiere Pro by default. There are a few feature requests to add batch analysis on User Voice. You can upvote those and hopefully adobe will add this in an upcoming release.

    not making another thread, any other software or any other way inside premiere

    for BATCH STABILIZING clips?

    Right now, for family videos I use Google Photos on Android, which has a fabulous Stabilization method, but gives a rather compressed export...

    I just finished building a Adobe Premiere script for batch stabilizing videos from our family vacation.

    Hope it can be useful to someone.

    Still not very user-friendly, but it does the job.
