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

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?

Hi @gandalf the second , @Kcaudill ,

 

Yes, Premiere Pro should not crash; that is expected behavior. Will get back to this crash issue once we have an update. Apologies, I didn't update that part in my last response.

Yes! I agree. It used to work beautifully with no issues...so what happened? It totally put me behind the eight ball with the constant crashing. The BIG problem is that even if after the crash I opted to find an alternate approach, PP would load the same Morph cut and crash again. So any edits I made since my last SAVE just prior to Morph Cut were gone. Either fix this or remove Morph Cut as a feature.

@MaanviG, it probably shouldn't cause a Premiere crash though, even if it's not a valid scinereo. I'd rather get an alert dialog or something indicating I can't do this. If I'm quickly working through an edit and accidently drop a morph cut somewhere it shouldn't go, the software shouldn't immediately crash. That's just bad design and testing.

Hi @Thomas2292245005c8 ,

 

We usually don't apply the morphcut on MOGRT, even not a valid scenario. For more help, please refer to this link-https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/kb/morph-cut.html.

Back again!

I upgraded my laptop to the new apple silicon line. Apple M4 Max with 48 gb of ram.

Just added a morph cut to a motion graphics template and it insta-crashed! I had no issue using one earlier on some video clips, but the second I put one on a motion graphic, I never had a chance.

@gandalf the second ,

 

Sorry for the inconvenience, could you please share the steps to reproduce this issue along with the Machine configuration? If possible, please share the sample project where you can reproduce this crash, will investigate and get back to you.

 

Thanks,

Maanvig

I had issues last year but it's working now without issue - maybe try the delete preferences trick.

I gave up on this feature a couple of years back. And I've been seeing people constantly complaining about it with it being resolved.
