Hi, Warp stabilizer crashes Premiere Peo 2020 as I apply the effect. Try it at After Effects and it does not analyse the footage. Anybody Knows what is going on?

 

Thanks a lot

At least it's just crashing only the software.  My macbook pro with the max chip will sieze up, and after about 20 seconds of being unable to even move the cursor, my entire system forces itself to restart.  It's 4k footage but it's also just a 3 seconds long.  After my 5th attempt I got sick of trying and gave up.  I can understand the software crashes but I haven't experienced my system crashing this easily since I was using 3D applications.

In my case I now realise that my Macbook Pro processors were over heating when pushed to render OR export un-rendered UHD ProRes HQ sequences that contained warp stabilizer, LUT and colour grade. This was on 30 minute or so sequences. It might have got ten minutes or so along the sequence before the Macbook Pro graphics processor would suddenly give up followed immediately by the whole Mac crash shut down. If this happened, the project would be severely damaged, so I'd have to go back to the most recently auto saved project and try again.

 

I was using Mac OS Catalina (vs 10.15) at the time. Since updating to later OS versions and also raising the Macbook Pro up onto a couple of rubber blocks, so air can circulate underneath it, I haven't experienced this problem again.

 

Anyway, my thinking with this is that it was an Apple problem, not a Premiere Pro problem. Maybe the processors were being pushed to be too fast for the cooling capability of the macbook Pro? Since updating the OS and phsically raising the computer to give better ventilation, I've been editing a lot of complex UHD ProRes HQ footage with warp stabilizer plus heaps more filters, grading,  LUTs etc and this problem hasn't come back.

Great post.  Nice to see people realizing that everything's not Adobe's fault...  You might look at one of these

It amazes me how many people never touch their computers and realize that maybe they could fry an egg on them.  (this is the voice of experience speaking).  FWIW, my entry level first generation macstudio is always cool as a cucumber...  upgraded from a 2012 macbookpro which scared me with how hot it ran...

try converting to a high quality prores format before applying the warp-stabilizer.  Make sense that an mpeg file might be more challenging for a system.  And what happens if you apply the warp stabilizer inside the nest and then apply the speed change to the containing nest.

In my case, adding warp stabilizer to 4K ProRes HQ footage tends to cause damage to the project which at first isn't obvious. But when exporting, goes slow and crashes to the extent that the computer either locks up with wheel of doom, or it will completely shet down.

 

I'm using a very top end MacBook Pro 2020. Hardware accelerated graphics, 32GB memory, USBc Drives etc. All is fine and very fast until adding a Warp Stabilizer filter.

 

The answer probably is, don't use the Warp Stabilizer filter until the bug is fixed.

go to project settings - general - renderer

do you have GPU acceleration enabled? if you are on software only you will have to update

your GPU driver from the vendor's site. After Effects seems to be on software only rendering as well..

warp stabilizer requires GPU acceleration

Same here! It's driving me nuts. It crashes, I restart Premiere, everything is okay and when applying the effect it crashes (not always and not on the same clip, which makes it very frustrating).

I'm editing on a Mac Pro (late 2013) with Premiere Pro 14.0.0 (Build 572) with footage shot from a cheap JVC camcorder:

what format is your source clip (pixel dimensions, frame rate and codec)?
