Morph cut - Analyzing in Background never completes

I have a simple headshot cutting to the same head, same everything a few seconds later.

All other transitions work find. I try morph cut and see 'Analyzing in background.' Never see sign of progress - should I see it chewing through frames somehow?

I have gone to project settings. Tried both rendering settings. One thing - When I do GPU acceleration my still frames look like garbage - example:

Software acceleration looks fine. No idea if these items are related.

Have run through all preferences. Don't see anything that might be turned off. BTW - working with MBP 15" late 2013. Latest OS.

For the red stripes: turn off MPE hardware (ist a know issue with El Capitan)

For the Morph cut you might want to read this: Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Troubleshooting the Morph Cut transition in Premiere Pro

Stripes - As mentioned, I figured that one out.

Troubleshooting doc - thanks saw it. Mine really is a talking head. My two shots are just truncating a locked off camera. The problem is not that it takes a long time to complete. It doesn't seem to start. Am looking for some evidence that this analysis actually happens.

Thanks tho.

Hello,

Morph cut on Premiere is not working, it analyzes in the background indefinitely. Has anyone else experienced this issue? If so, how did you resolve this error?

Thanks.

Hey Jonathan,

A few things to try:

  1. Modifying the duration of the morph cut transition

  2. Clear your caches/preferences.

  3. Create a new project and  import the old project into that.

Let us know how that goes.

Hello petergaraway

Unfortunately, I have tried all three of your suggestions, none of them work. My institution has an educational subscription, I'm asking around to see whether everyone is affected or just me. Who from Adobe should I contact for further assistance?

I had that same issue.

To most effectively use morph cut you literally have to :

Export the first clip to morph, export the second clip to morph, import the 2 new separate files and apply morph cut.

Adobe Premiere should do this automatically, however it runs into one of two issues.

Issue 1: The source file is too large. (my source files are 500mb - 25gb)

Issue 2: The MORPH CUT is being applied to the same clip, which causes the ANALYZING IN BACKGROUND error.

The best way to solve it is to reduce the source file size, export and reimport your clips, and morph between two different source files.

Adobe should do this automatically, but until then this is what we have to do. It's inefficient and redundant - I'm using a Morph Cut between two cuts, I should not have to cut before and after the morph cut in extreme attempts to reduce my source file size.

I encountered the same problem today while working with subclips. Everything was working as expected after replacing the subclip with the original media in the timeline. I'm not sure whether this is a bug or a restriction on working with subclips.

I have the same issue, it's driving me nuts.  In the 2015 edition, after waiting a couple hours I was sometimes able to export the video 4 or 5 times and eventually by the 6th time it would work on one of the transitions, but not the rest.  I'm talking about a 15 frame transition, rather confusing as to why that should take *that* long.  I expected that the 2017 edition would have solved a lot of this, but the problem seems identical.  Very disappointing.

For me, morph cut still doesn't work with subclips...

My workaround is to convert each subclip back to a master clip by hitting 'F' to match frame, right clicking on the source monitor, clicking 'Edit Subclip', ticking the box that says 'Convert to Master Clip', then finally setting my in and out on the timeline and dropping my footage back in place (now as a master clip).

The morph cut feature now works, and the "analyzing in background" should disappear within a minute.

Adobe, these are basic issues, its been years on the subclip thing, please please get with it..

This seems to have been the source of my problem, but I inserted a cut on both sides of the transition and it analyzed within seconds.

Thanks!

I tried a bunch of other things first and this was the only thing that worked. Annoying. But the workaround did work for me.

I think I figured out a way to make this work - although it is a clunky approach.

1. Place cuts on both sides of the actual cut you want to morph, 8-10 frames should do.

2. Nest both of those small 8-10 frame clips

3. Apply the effect between the nested clips

4. It will usually tell you there is insufficient data, but just ignore and adjust the length of the effect

5. Adjust the morph to the number of frames you desire - 6 is usually my sweet spot

6. Render the effect to playback and see if you're happy with the length

I've found this to be the only way to keep it from analyzing for eternity. Hope it works for others!

I found that adding edits with the razor tool a few frames before and after the transition speeds up the 'analyzing' process, especially if the two clips are particularly long. Presumably the analysis needs to encompass every frame before and after the transition, so by shortening the clips, the process is much faster. It may not apply universally, but it solved my apparently interminable analyzing problem

This was actually quite helpful. It did help in a number of my cuts. Really appreciate it. It is still obviously a work around for an issue that still needs to be resolved,

Definitely helped a bit. I did this in addition to the recommendations by steban42 above. The combination helped quite a bit.

Thank you!! Agree with Juanito above, this was the only trick that actually got the effect to work (and sheledit's trick helped speed it up too). Hopefully Adobe sorts the morph cut issue with subclips soon, but in the meantime, merci merci merci for being a lifesaver with that trick!

Thank you, steban4! This seems to be a good workaround to not have the "analyzing" banner show up in the exported clip! Sad that Adobe doesn't prioritize fixing a feature they are so proud to advertise!
