Warp stabilizer fails

Hi all.

I try to use Warp Stabilizer on a single clip where I ride the bicycle from the beginning to the end. No transitions. Constantly riding and the camera shakes. Length is 15 min.

When I use Warp Stabilizer it analyzes and then fails to stabilize. Before this happens, Windows proposes to close the app because of memory eating. Tried on a machine with 8 and 16 GB of RAM.

How to stabilize this video? At least the last few minutes

    Correct answer Ann Bens

    sorry, but actually no.

    I tried to divide clip into subclips as I was recommended and masked the fringes with video transitions. Render time increased so dramatically that I refused to stabilize at all.


    15 min is way toooooooooooo long for stabilization.

    15 seconds is more suitable.

    Warp stabilizer can do wonders it cannot perform miracles.

    what happens when you change your memory allocation in premiere and/or paging file size?

    does it work if you transcode to dnxhd or prores first so you're not editing with h.264?

    Chris, afraid I cannot understand your question. Could you please explain a bit more?

    Hi Triplecorpse,

    I am sorry for the crash issue. It seems like a memory issue.

    1. Is this happening with multiple clips or just one clip?

    2. Is it possible to make an edit to the 15 minutes clip into 3 or 4 clips on the timeline & apply Warp Stabilizer on one clip at a time. This is just for the test.

    Please let us know the status of the issue.

    Thanks,

    Vidya

    I use the next scheme: I merge all clips in one footage and then make a sequence from this footage. Then I increase speed, make some adjustments etc, make the third sequence from the second and apply the effect on this third.

    And yes, I tried to apply to raw clips, to first and second footages - no point. I can only apply to the clip that is near 2 min length but if I cut the big clip into small then edge frames of adjacent clips do not match.

    Okay, then my apologizes.

      I am of the opinion that stabilization is best done when shooting, and avoided when editing.

      Make sense. I was the opinion that raw footage is the best and all processing should be done separately. Actually, it works for photo, but I am newbee at making video.

      The other point is that my camera doesn't support stabilization at high frame rate and I really like 120 fps because I don't know where I should decrease speed and use slow motion.

      I tried to switch on stabilization on 50 fps - looks good.
