Wave Warp not exporting correctly in Premiere

Question

In Premiere Pro, I used Wave Warp on a still image of a face to animate it, so it looks like it’s nodding. I was working in ½ playback resolution. When I export the video, the Wave Warp does not look the way it does when I am editing. Wave Warp makes the face looks like it’s twitching, and it blurs the movement of the face. I also tried nesting the clip but that didn’t work. Is there any way I can get the Wave Warp effect to export like the way it looks when I use ½ playback resolution?

The issue is that your Wave Width is set to 1 pixel, which creates a lot offine detail that is difficult to recreate accurately in lower-resolution previews.To achieve the effect you're going for, set the Wave Width much wider, more like twice the width of your image. This turns the sine wave into more of an arc moving up and down.Once you set the Wave Width wider, playback should look more consistent across different resolutions.
