Warp Stabilizer - always get clip dimensions message

  • October 2, 2018

Every time I try to use warp stabilizer I get the same message "Warp Stabilizer requires clip dimensions to match sequence (fix by nesting)'

I'm in Premiere 2017.1.2.  The footage of everything in the sequence is UHD and the sequence is 1920 X 1080. 

So I try everything and nothing works, keep getting the same message.

I do nest. Makes no difference. I try changing the sequence of the nest to 3840 X 2160--makes no difference

I go back to 1920 X 1080 -- makes no difference.  I reset the frame size in both cases. Makes no difference.

Doesn't matter if I nest or not. Always get this message. I will reiterate, that I have read the instructions over and over and followed them,

Since the reset frame already makes the clip dimensions match the sequence settings, I don't understand why I get the message in first place.  But I really don't understand why nothing works after I nest and try every variation.

Its this a bug?  Or what am I missing?  HELP

    If you have a UDH clip in a HD timeline,

    Nest the clip

    Highlight nest (dont double click which will open the nest and you are back to square one).

    Add warp.

    DariaP,

    Sorry about this.

    The way Warp Stabilizer works: Your clip must match the dimensions of the sequence. It is a requirement for the effect to work. If you have an oversized clip, you have to nest it, as well as, make sure that nest size matches the sequence size, not the clip's original size. You can see the sequence dimensions by referring to Sequence > Sequence Settings. Try this with this order of operations.

    If this still isn't working, try the same thing in a brand new sequence. Still not working? Try a new project. Report back with the results.

    Thanks,
    Kevin

    Kevin thanks. I did finally get it to work although it was close but not

    exactly as you indicated. In my case it was a 4k clip in a 1080 sequence

    and the clip had previously been set to frame. So before nesting it I

    removed attributes, so it would resize to original. Then when I nested it,

    I set the new sequence settings to 4k which then matched the original clip

    and then the warp stabilizer worked. After that in the main sequence I

    then did set to frame.

    thanks
