Has anyone has found lately that warp stabilizer makes a lot of clips worse?

I would say your gut feel on this is correct.  I use to use warp stabilize for quick and pretty easy stabilize requirements - but many of the easy to do one have frustrating.  I have started to do everything in Mocha as a result, it takes way more effect to setup, but the results are fantastic.  I could not put any scientific facts behind this feeling, but I do share the perception that Warp Stabilize has reduced in quality - I think it started when they working on speeding it up - that might be the root cause.

Yes. It is unusable now. I used to be able to put 5% stabilization on hand-held footage to smooth it out. Now even that small amount of stabilization makes the whole frame wobble like Jello.

I'm too am finding the results of Warp Stabilizer in Premiere Pro 2025 to be terrible. I'm not sure what is going on but I feel I'm trying to use it on clips that it used to work really well on and all I'm getting is a jittery mess now? Very frustrating.

I've been having this problem for some time too. It seems to getting worse, I'm not sure if Adobe have tweaked how it operates, but I find it borderline unusable now, especially in After Effects. Weirdly, Premier Pro seems to be a little better a stablising.

I've tried every way of changing how it stablises and it still comes back with more issues than when I started

How does the After Effects "warp stablizer" compare on your problem clip?

I'd be interested in seeing comparisons.
