Warp Stabilizer offsets frame location

Premiere 13.1.5- working in a triptych layout for a museum installation. Full HD has been shrunk to 33%. I have left, center and right images laid out for color correction and tweaks.

I applied the Warp Stabilizer to a center screen image with these settings:

Result: Smooth Motion

Smoothness- 50%

Method - Position, Scale, Rotation

Preserve Scale- unchecked

Borders>Framing- Stabilize, Crop, Auto-Scale

Auto-scale (112.5%)

I've converted the project to Premiere 14 to do final review. At the point where this stabilized screen appears it shifts to the upper left during playback. When I stop playback, it appears right back where it belongs, centered and flush with flanking screens.

Whaaa?

I don't use WP too often in this show. But now I have to check to see if other screens are affected.

Although I dislike the"new"Cloud Desktop app's layout as intensely as most users, at least it lists both previous and new iterations of the apps. I'm thinking this will be extremely important. Unless I'm mistaken, you have some effects translation work to do in 14 before releasing it?

UPDATE- This phenomenon happens in13.1.5 as well!!

In each case, I made a DUPLICATE TIMELINE to rescale each screen to full frame for export. And before I do any of that, I review it and I see the WP screen behaves exactly the same way in the DUPLICATE timeline.

Whaaa?

Best, as always,

Holy s***! Setting the scale to 50.1 works perfectly thank you!

Same issue.

Adobe, I cannot believe you have not addressed this bug at all in the many, many years it has been an issue.

Setting the scale to 50.1 definitely solves the issue, but it is another step and Adobe should address this issue! I truly enjoy Adobe CC, the libraries, Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, and occasionally other apps but - Premiere is the one that is giving me hard time with problems. I am using other apps similar to Premiere, and to be honest it's beginning to lag behind in both functions and performance for past 2-3 years.

I'm having this issue too! Version 15.4. It was showing the offset during export too. I had adjusted the position to look 'right' during playback, and as soon as I touched scale (which was at 50%, 4k to HD) the offset disappeared and I had to undo my corrections. For some reason scaling in to 55% fixed it. Must be some error with the Warp Stabilizer effect.

Still an issue. I've got a low resolution source, upscaled 182%, then nested. Warp Stabiliser on the nested clip still offsets by a few hundred pixels. Stabilize Only mode, and Preserve Scale.

I just found a stupidly simple fix for this on YouTube from Romain Do. If you want to skip the video linked below. Basically, the quickest fix is to set the scale of your clip to 50.1 or higher. If the scale is at 50.0 or less the offset will still happen. I literally just tried this and it worked like a dream. Hope this helps someone and much as it helped me!

To me it happens when I reduze UHD Material in a HD Timeline by 50% and add the warp stabilizer. When I change 50% to 50,1 the problem is gone. It's really stupid but this is at last an easy solution better than nesting.

Stuffing all the footage inside a nest sequence if far from a solution... Makes any serious color work extremely difficult.
