Video moves a way outta frame when I playback and returns in the frame as I stop

Hi. Another Premiere Pro glitch. The footage is iPhone 11 mov-files. The video drivers are up to date. The sequence is old or new - no matter. The video just goes out of the frame a bit when I play back. Tried different preview resolutions. This happens only when CUDA acceleration is on, the Mercury renderer works fine. 

Just watch the video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tH_t3cqCe1WDyGazNBe--6UXCOKf1-DI/view?usp=share_link

Something similar happens with me when I add a "Warp Stabilizer" effect to a resized 4K clip in a full HD sequence. My workaround is this: I reset the motion, then add a "Transform" effect, and scale down the clip using it, and it magically works...

Give it a try and see if it works in your case.

Hi. An update on this. Premiere Pro 2023.2? this issue is STILL there with EVERY 4k video with warp stabilizer applied. I had a wonderful chat with Adobe Support, spent about 4 hours with them to try and resolve this issue and this did not help. I sent the files in question (both IPhone and downloaded 4k footage) and they say they had no problem with those. So I suppose the problem lies in my Premiere Pro settings but we didn't find which ones. The only time it seemed to get fixed was when I removed all the third party plugins folder from the Adobe Common folder. But I do not have any distructive plugins there and I did not actually use them a lot - only the AtomX transitions, Film Impact transitions and the Misterhorse Premiere Composer (transitions and some simple motion graphics mainly). All of them are found either under the Effects tab or as a separate tab from the Extensions menu. And after I removed those plugins and created a new sequience to test the files out, it worked. But for a minute or two - then it started back again even WITHOUS all those third party plugins. So I suppose the problem appears after womething happens in a freshly installed PP not connected with third party plugins. As far as I remember, the next step after I removed the plugins and checked the 4k footage with Warp Stabilizer was adding my custom S-key shortcut for "Add edit" command in the keyboard shortcuts menu - after this every 4k footage started acting glitchy again. Yeah, I don't see a connection here either.

So for now the only way to fix this is adding .1 to a footage scale.

By the way, I forgot to mention that by default media scaling set to "Set to frame size" for every footage in PP preferences, so any 4k getting into my sequences is automatocally set to Scale 50. May be this is why Adobe Support could not reproduce this issue, so please check.

Once again: set the default media scaling set to "Set to frame size" (Preferences > Media), create a 1080p sequence, add a 4k footage and keep the sequence settings for it, add a warp stabilizer to the footage and stabilize it, Play the stabilized footage.

Have you tried my workaround: Reset motion, add transform effect with scale set to 50%, after the transform effect add the Warp Stabilizer.

Let us know if it works for you.

This forum is still mostly user-to-user help. Thanks for posting here, as it does give the rest of us an idea of issues, and means someone else with this will see it.

 

But PLEASE ... post this in great detail over on their Premiere Pro UserVoice  site, as for Premiere, that is still the best input portal to the devs. All posts there are manually logged into their internal system, assigned to the specific team involved.

 

Then post a link on this thread to that UV post, so others can go upvote & comment there.

 

And yes, I've talked with the engineers that do this loggin-in process in-person. Their one complaint ... the vast majority of bug/performance posts do not give NEARLY the detail needed for helping them to isolate the problem. So both of you should post on (hopefully) the same posting there.

 

And "X is broke, fix it ... " which is by far the most common type of post, is essentially useless. If they don't have a system where X is broke, that ain't helpful, is it? So give your system specs, the media/effects involved ... steps that cause the problem ... as these types of things are as much a nightmare for the devs as they are for us.

I posted it, spoke to tech suppurt wrote letters to adobe. 2023, the latest PP version and I still have to use workarounds because the problem is still there.

This worked, thanx. There's an obvious problem in Premiere Pro though, this shouldn't get one use any workarounds...
