Warp Stabilizer runs at OPEN and crashes Project - stuck in loop. How to stop loop ?

[Damidge]

I am stuck in a loop that has crashed (and lost) my Project.

On opening Warp stabilizer says it is Analyzing

Premier freezes and crashes.

Low Level Exception and Process exception.

I have a mix of 4k video and photos in my project.

I have transitions on all clips

Seems like warp Stabilization running might be the killer but it runs as the file opens .....

Is there a way to stop 'Analyzing' running as the file opens.?

Right now I have lost the entire content of my project because it is in a crash loop

Running Premier CC 2019.

Intel i9 9900K

32GB RAM

GTX 2060

Samsung 970 EVO 500GB

What exact build of Premiere are you running?

Try trashing preferences:

Thanks Ann, reset (trash) preferences did not work for me.

Can you delete and re-apply Warp Stabilizer? If not, try creating a new project and import your old one.

[Damidge]

Thanks, was not able to delete warp stabilizer.  System was already crashed/frozen as soon as mouse responded.

[Ann Bens]

Make new project and import this one, see how that goes.

'Make new project and import this one' - did not work for me.

I am guessing Pr is chocking on the many WS that are analyzing at the same time.

WS is cpu intensive.

I usually do one to three short clips at a time.

I am not sure how to close a post - as 'unanswered' but CLOSED

Firstly I am a newbie user, not an experienced video editor:

In this case I had to just move on, and re-start the project from a previous save.  I was not able to stop warp stabilizer starting and immediately crashing the project on loading.

HOWEVER I think I did find the 'root cause' (in my opinion) .  Unfortunately a number of video clips were highlighted (instead of 1) when I dragged warp stabilizer - so instead of applying to 1 clip it added to all the selected clips. 

I think this overloaded the project + I wasnt able to ever open the file again.

My lesson learned :

1. Be VERY careful with Warp Stabilizer (after seeing all the posts on issues)

2. Save a backup with different project name BEFORE applying warp

3. Create more regular backups with different project name (I lost about 10-15 hours work)

Be interested if anyone has a safe workflow they use when applying 'warp stabilizer' in projects ? (I shoot on a cellphone with gymbal - defo need warp stabilization at times)

Hello, I know its been a long time but have you tried moving your video files to another folder so Adobe cannot find them? That way you can offline all files and remove warp anaylizer before relocating the video files. Hope this helps.
