Warp Stabilizer won't initialize

Explorer ,
Jan 08, 2023 Jan 08, 2023

I have a timelapse that I've stabilized using manual stabilizing trackers. I render it with lossless settings, then try to put it back into AE and use Warp Stabilizer to do some final stabilizing, but it won't initialize. It'll be stuck at frame 1 of x at 0% if I'm lucky. Otherwise, it gets stuck at the "Initializing" stage. I've tried the obvious and reinstalled the software, disabled multi-frame rendering, cleared all caches, and reset preferences. It's not a corrupt project because I've tried repeating this with different projects and different footage. Same issue.

Computer specs: Windows 11, 32 GB ram,  AMD Radeon 6700, my computer is super fast. Performance isn't the issue. There are no spikes in processing power or ram usage.

Suggestions?

I have projects I need to finish and I've been desperately looking for a solution for over 2 months now, Adobe customer support hasn't been useful. Sincerely appreciate the help. attached are pictures for context of what I'm doing

Ok... so AE versions previous to 22.5 would begin analyzing footage just by applying Warp Stabilizer with default settings (in almost all cases). Versions after 22.5 require the "Detailed Analysis" button to be checked when applying a Warp Stabilizer effect to a precomposition that has some form of stabilization done within the precomp. Otherwise, if the Detailed Analysis button isn't checked, it won't stabilize. See attached image for Warp Stabilizer settings I use.

Thanks to everyone who took t

That probably doesn't make a lot of sense workflow wise. Easily possible that the stabilizer is unable to detect any actual motion patterns that fit it's algorithm and gets in a death spiral trying to do so. Otherwise I have no idea beyond what we already told you in your other posts, unfortunately. The only way to even check if this isn't your computer would be to tryn another system...

Yeah, it's not a great workflow but the alternative was to use a precomposition and then use Warp Stabilizer which was just fine workflow-wise. Fine until it quit working

Just tried it on another system and it also doesn't work. I tested it on a raw, unedited .jpeg sequence and it also will not initialize.

  • I'm experiencing the same problem, except that no matter what settings I use, no matter the clip, it will not initialize and then say it has timed out. Super frustrated as it used to work perfectly. Looked through old threads and tried everything. Nothing has worked.

Same here with a project that worked on Version 23, now it is stuck on Initializing... in Version 24 after updating. 😞

I was just troubleshooting this myself. Warp Stabilizer wouldn't get past Initializing. I quit After Effects and saw that MacOs had a dialog box open in the background and was waiting for me to approve "Screen Recording" for AE. Once I did that and restarted AE, Warp Stab starting working fine. So if that MacOs dialog hasn't popped up for you, you might check your MacOs System Settings/Privacy & Security/Screen Recording and see if your Adobe apps are authorized to record the screen... Hope that helps.

This solution just worked for me. I did not have a dialog box, but changing the screen recording settings allowed Warp Stabilizer to work for me. Thank you!

Same problem here. It happened before, worked for a while, and now broken again.

Unusable.
