Thanks Riklard
I’v realised that I was trying to stabilize a clip that also had a cross fade applied between it and the next clip - which was throwing the Stabilizer way off and creating a cropped clip.
I’ll leave the stabs and fades till the end
cheers for the help
As Jim notes, you can use Cineform as an intermediate. It's frequently used for this sort of work.
Product Support manager Kevin Monahan has posted on here that if he knows he's going to be working with a laptop for a project, applying Warp or a particular color or de-noising routine to an entire folder of media, he often will do one or two of those first, export the clips in Cineform or ProRes (he mostly works Mac I think). DNxHD/R can work well also. Then imports that media into his project.
I also know of a number of editors that when confronted with a lot of clips needing stabilizer, do that first in AfterEffects as there are more and better options for that there. Export the media, then work away with that new media in PrPro.
