P: Morph Cut causing Premiere Pro to crash every time. Help!

[Neco25032080tlzs]

I have been using the Morph Cut effect in my edits in Premiere Pro for years, with no real problems.

Since I installed Premiere Pro 2024 (24.1), every time I bring a morph cut to a sequence, the program crashes. I've tried multiple different ways, like creating a completely new sequence and pasting the shots there and then using morph cut, and nothing works.

I've decided to roll back to Premiere 2023 for now. I even tried using the latest Beta version, and it still crashes.

Does anyone have a solution?

So when I try to upload using the link you shared it gives me the following error mesage: Error 404: Asset not found

Strangely I don't see the 24.5 version.

Updates usually go out in staggered rollouts, so keep trying to update.

Hi @Venus29146333hosx ,

Could you please whether are you referring to the Beta Version or Release Version? 24.5 is yet to be released officially, but you can try out the scenario in the Latest Beta 24.6 Beta Version. Regarding the sharing of the project file, you must have a Creative Cloud account from there, you can go to the web version. Upload your sample media and share the link with us. 

Thanks,

From the information you have given here, this seems to be an issue that Adobe has identified and confirmed. If so, why is it not communicated to users in the Known Issues documentation?

R.

[Venus29146333hosx]

My update tells me that the I'm on the most recent update which is 24.4.1. I can't see a version 25 Beta or a version 26 release. I'm attaching the file here. 

[MaanviG]

Hi @Remote Index ,

Yes, this issue has been identified as we have picked from Customer Forum issues, and we have communicated with the user about the fix in the latest version. If you want to check the documentation, please wait for the 24.5 Release version.

Thanks,

Maanvig

[Venus29146333hosx]

That's fine. I can wait. In the meantime, since I uploaded my file as you
requested, I have not been able to close or uninstall Premiere Pro.

[MaanviG]

Hi @Venus29146333hosx ,

I have tried your sample project on Mac Intel on the latest beta, I don't see any crashes. This change shall be available in mid-June. Once the 24.5 is Released, please test it out and share your feedback.

Thanks,

Maanvig

ADOBE WTF! morph cut is crashing still??????  killing me

[HECTOR36964103pk7h]

and warp stabilizer turned worse.

[Kcaudill]

Morph cut is STILL broken! I THOUGHT it was fixed. Maybe it's partially fixed, but who really knows.

Updating to Premiere 24.3 through 24.4.1 seemd to fix the issue for me. I had a project that would instantly crash when adding a morph cut. After the update, I was able to get that project delivered and had no issues using lots of morphs.

Recently, I've been having sporatic crashes when adding morphs. As of today, I have an editor that is unable to work on an edit because no matther what he does, he just can't get the project not to crash when adding a morph cut. There are probably many factors under the hood that are contributing to the major instability in using morph cuts. Maybe it's based on media type, Team Projects, Intel vs Apple Silicon, etc. but all I can say is that we are getting these issues accross multiple edit systems at home and in our office and this has been incredibly detrimental to my company.

Try the Beta version, @Kcaudill. I hope that is working for you. Let us know.

Thanks,
Kevin

Have the same problem, can´t open sequences with Morph-Cut, they imidiatly crashing ... no help since nearly half a year?

[carolineb23036079]

Hi Kevin,
I don't have access to the Beta version... Any idea why that could be?
Is it available to everybody? It's a company liscence.
Thank you

[MaanviG]

Hi @tp-doku ,

Please try the latest beta build 24.6, it will be fine on Mac-Intel. If you're still able to repro this issue, please share more details if you're still facing this issue.

Thanks,

Maanvig

[tp-doku]

Hi MaanVig, does it also run on M1 Max?

Best, Reinhard

[tp-doku]

Beta doesn´t help - still crashing on M1 Max.

Can´t even open the project.

Not good at all!!!

[elaineh47132057]

Same problem for me - June 7th so clearly it hasn't been fixed. Apply morph cut, project crashes and is corrupt and cannot be used. I saved right before it crashed, but even so, when I try opening it it immediately shows analyzing and then crashes again. My question is, is there an alternative to morph cut that will do something similar??

[elaineh47132057]

Not working for me, June 7, 2024. Using version 24.4.1

[MaanviG]

hi @tp-doku ,

Sorry for the issue, though the fix is made for the Mac Intel platform only. We don't see such an issue on the Mac ARM config. Will try to repro this issue, could you please share more details about the workflow that are you using? You can also share your project file by following the instructions here: https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/share.html 

Thanks,

Hi @elaineh47132057 ,

It depends on the type of subscription that you have signed in yourself. If you don't have access to the Beta version, please wait for next week, we're soon releasing 24.5 Release. There you can give it a try to Morph Cut issue and share your feedback.

Thanks,

Maanvig

Is there a third-party plug-in that will do the same function as Morph Cut? I really can't wait for Adobe to get around to releasing a final version that works. (It still crashes on 24.4.1 for me.)

I'll also note that the Adobe crash advisor suggests upgrading to 24.4.1 when I am already on 24.4.1.

[Kcaudill]

Hello @Kevin-Monahan. My editor installed the beta of 24.6 on his 2020 Intel iMac and was able to add morph cuts to the sequence again. In this case, he's chosen to keep using 24.0.3 for now because the new timeline color labels will really throw off his productivity on this current project. Hopefully the inverted color bug will also be fixed soon too. We can't afford to be losing any more edit time at the moment.

[Kevin-Monahan]

Hi @Kcaudill,

I appreciate you writing back to me. I'm glad the bug has been fixed on your editor's Intel-based Mac in Beta. That was at the heart of the bug fix. I'm sorry the new label colors have thrown you off your game. You can discuss that topic here. I would love to get your feedback there. Have a great weekend.

Cheers,
Kevin

[Kevin-Monahan]

Hi @Xofp,

Thanks for the message. Are you using an Intel-based Mac? Please try the beta version of Premiere Pro. You should see a fix there. I hope the advice helps you. If not, come back with your system and media info.

Thanks,
Kevin
