Question

Warp Stabilizer Stabilizing stage doesn't show any progress or stats

I initiated a wap stabilizer effect on a 4GB video from a GoProp Camera. Now 10 hours later it's in the 'Stabilizing' stage. I am not seeing anything that tells me whether it's doing any work of if it's stuck. Premiere 2019

How do I know if it's stuck or not?

While Ann is right that Any stabilizer isn't going to work great on multi-minute clips, there is one detail to add - you CAN see a progress indicator to see if it's working or stuck. After dragging and dropping the Warp Stabilizer effects on to the clip, make sure the clip In the timeline is highlighted and go to the Effect Controls panel. You'll see Warp Stabilizer listed there as it has been added and right under the name you'll see a percentage indicator (actually it toggles back and forth between a percentage and a time remaining counter).

Yes I saw the progress stats when I dropped the effect. Current frame from total frames and estimated time. That was the first stage. I don't remember what it's called. The 'Stabilizing' stage is a different one. Now maybe it's stuck. No progress stats is showing. Anyone knows that the 'Stabilizing stage' updated any stats that's visible.

Exactly. I have a 2 minute long 4k clip. Seriously odd that adobe is running a computational intensive task without an ETA.....

Warp Stabilizer is designed for short hand held footage.

What is the duration of the clip.

You can't know if it's stuck or not if it is not telling you if it is still working or not...

the 'duration' in TIME would be nice for you to decide if it might be wise to make cuts ( where appropriate, like beginning and end of when clips CHANGE angles etc... like an 'edited' timeline ).. and stabilize those clips one at a time.

Typically about 10 seconds or 20 seconds of footage is stabilized with that tool... at each 'instance'...

If you shot some drone stuff or helmet mounted stuff and the entire thing is one clip... then it might be wise to take the MOST egregious areas ( where it is REALLY jumpy and you need to stabilize ) and cut those sections ( just to mark that area of timeline ) and stabilize those areas one at a time.

I left it running during the night. I don't know if the Stabilizing stage shows any stats when it starts working or not. Do you know? Maybe it was showing stats and then it stopped. I don't know.

The videos are from GoPro while riding a bicycle. The whole video is like that. There are no moments where it's more jerky or less jerky. I just want a tool to make the whole video less jerky with a minimum amount of manual adjustments in Premiere. If Premiere is not the right tool for this, do you have other suggestions? Other than getting a better camera. I am aware that cameras like GoPro Hero 7 Black and Rylo have built-in video stabilization. Or using a 3-axis gimbal.
