Hello
The film reels are 16mm recorded in the early 1970s. The reels are in need of stabalizing.
So far all attemps to warp stabalize fails with messages such as try another setting.
Here is a sample. If there is a working method to warp stablize please let me know!
Thanks

I downloaded the clip form YT and converted it from .webm to ProRes LT and dropped it into Premiere Pro 24.3.0 and when i drop Warp Stabilizer on it everything works, iow Premiere Pro stabilizes the clip without any messages.

 

How long is the clip you are trying to stabilize? The clip on YT is 29 seconds but if you try it on a 29 minute clip things can start to cause issues.

All clips are 3 minutes 19 seconds.

For these clips I found success with 20% smoothness; stablize only.

However there are 3 minute 19 second clips that fail to stablize with the above setting.

Thank you for posting....

Don't think you will ever get this completely right.

The first part is doable, but as soon as it starts to zoom in, there is too much motion.
