I was working on a project in Premiere Pro 2022 v22.04, and I used the proDAD Mercalli Pro (v: 2.0.126.1) plugin and it was all good. After I updated the Premiere Pro to 22.05, the Premiere Pro found the Mercalli plugin offline and it is no longer on the list of plugins. i tried all the methods, even uninstalled the plugin completely, and even when reinstalled it no longer sees the Premiere Pro 2022 v22.5 Mercalli 2 plugin, what can I do? Of course I can go back to 22.04 temporarily, but I would like to ask Adobe experts to fix this problem.
This is a question for Mercalli developers. They have to make changes to the plugin and everything will be good. Write to Mercalli support. A similar situation was observed with Maxon (formerly Red Giant) products.
I reported the error to ProDAD and received a prompt reply from them, and you can read the contents of the letter:
I spoke with our engineering.
Mercalli V2 has not been developed further for several years. If it still works in the predecessor version of Premiere, then it was a coincidence, as we did not offer official support for it here either.
There will also be no more updates for Mercalli V2 in newer Premiere versions.
I think the solution to this little problem has been entrusted to Adobe engineers and we think they will fix this problem quickly.
Very doubtful. As far as I know, Adobe is not to blame for the performance of a third-party plugin that does not belong to the company. This responsibility lies with the developer company and they themselves confirm this. So, alas. If I were Adobe employees, I would start developing a new image stabilization plugin instead of Warp Stabilizer as soon as possible. It does not cope with its function in most situations.
update with the situation: mercalli released a new version supposedly work with the latest premiere versions The problem with the ongoing issues was with adobe management not providing enough cooperation I was told by the mercalli people few years ago
Currently I am not happy with the current mercalli version either (whats wrong with the mercalli: 1)if the timeline frame rate doesn't match with the project setting, or after a speed change it doesn't work while adobe's stabilizer works ok by few adjustments deadly slow though 2) even the frame rate is the same, mercalli usually still gives some gibberish error messages, unable to fix , so I miss very early mercalli's while they do not work with the versions 21 or 22 and after
not happy with the adobe's own stabilizer either whereas Davinci resolve has always been very good and very fast as far as stabilizer process among other things I have tested many times: premiere takes ages to stabilize whereas Davinci takes only seconds to do the job (even do better job)
Shame on the adobe developers who cannot get their act together to provide a better and faster stabilizer for so many years full stop
