Warp stabilizer causes black frame at end of cut.

I was having a problem with renders not connecting. Adobe tech support helped me change

from software only to CPU acceleration. Problem fixed. But now I am getting a black frame

at the end of any shot I have the warp stabilizer on. Are these related? Any thoughts?

Thanks!!!!

Found a solution that worked for me, remove all attributes then nesting the clip with the previous or following clip and then adding the stabiliser back on top.

Hi Adobe,


I have some extra info for you, if you're not too busy building AI effects for podcasters, that is.

 

This somewhat reliably happens on PrPro 2025, i7 13700K, RTX4060, Windows 11, when applying warp stabilizer to a clip that starts or ends in a crossfade.

 

By reliably I mean maybe 1 in 30 clips.

 

Perhaps it happens when adjoining clips have WS on, idk.

 

Whatever it is - I'm done using PrPro. This has cooked the goose. Back to Resolve I go.

I'm also having this problem. It only happens on 23.976 or 25.00 sequences. 29.97 seem to be fine, regardless of the framerate of the footage used within the sequence. I tried tweaking all manner of parameters in the WS dialog but nothing helped.

It throws an error if I try to export it:

Error compiling movie.

GPU Render Error

Unable to process frame.

Writing with exporter: H.264

Writing to file: /Volumes/My Drive Etc

Writing file type: H264

I can't feasibly do the Nested Sequence fix on every shot, I have way too many stabilized shots in my sequence.

that is axact the same error i get - ADDOOOOOBBBEEEE - please fix this or we go to davinci

Wait until you realise how much better - and faster - Davinci's stabiliser is. Instead of hyperfocusing on AI nonsense, Adobe really should be looking after literaly core functionality.

Nest the clip that is causing the problem, name the clip, then click on the nested clip to find its original clip.  Add one frame at the end of your clip.  Check the nested clip in your sequence... it works.  I you have multiple video layers, add an additional for each layer.  Should work.

Suddenly I have this problem that I never had before.  How odd is that? No idea how to fix it.  Thanks, adobe!

so far this seems to be the simplest reliable fix. thanks for the suggestion!

I was just having this issue on AE Version 22.2.1(Build 3) on a windows 10 machine. Except it was a few random black frames at the head of the shot. Prores 422 clip. If I adjusted the scale inside the warp stabilizer the frame would randomly flicker back on and off as I adjusted the slider, but would never stay. 

I was able to permantly fix the issue for this project by changing the project from 8 bit to 16 bit at the bottom of the project window.

I have exactly the same problem. Some black frames appear at the end of some shots while in Premiere and they cause any exports to fail at that point. I can't figure out why it happens in these particular shots. 

 

I've tried nesting and exporting them as source rewrap without luck, but when I exported these shots as Prores 4444 and brought them back I was able to add the warp stabilisation on them without any problem. So that's what I would recommed to others.

 

For your information, the camera used to shoot was Lumix G8T, I'm working on Premiere Pro 2018 and my specs are:

Mac Pro (mid 2010)

OS Sierra

2 x 3.46 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon

64 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti

Unfortunately this is not the solution. It seemed to work with one shot, but in the other the Prores 4444 presented the same problem. I wonder if it's something to do with the type of movement of these shots; they don't have any big movement, but slight, constant 'tremor'...

Hey Maud,

Sorry about the issue, that sounds pretty weird. Does it work if you cut that last frame off?

Please share some screenshots of the problem and some information regarding your system (Mac or PC?) and what version of Premiere you're operating on.

Thanks! Looking forward to working this out.

Hi Caroline,

Thanks for your help.

iMac 2017 plenty of RAM updated to latest PP today.

Trimming doesn’t matter. Last frame is black. Take off

Warp Stabilizer and no black frame.

Alright, we're off to a good start. Now can I ask about your footage? What camera was it shot on? What's the frame rate? And what settings did you have warp stabilizer on, as far as like, "smooth motion VS no motion" and "perspective VS subspace warp." Feel free to share screenshots!

With this info, I can hopefully recreate the issue on my computer and find you a solution. We WILL get you that last frame, Maud!

Cheers,

Caroline
