Why do I constantly have to re-analyze warp stabilizer clips after I've already clicked analyze.

Davinci Resolve got it right on this one again... please don't make me switch

I've the same issue as you for no reason, and today while working as well. I guess it depends what are the change you do in your edit, and warp stabilizer is going to decide if re-analyzing is needed. Sometimes, it's even stabilized and re-analyzing doesn't change anything so... good question here.

After applying Warp, either nest the clip (works somewhat) or render & replace to new media. It's what works. Because yea, you need to get stuff done.

Grant,

Sorry if you found the answer demeaning, but really ... it wasn't.

This forum has people of all knowledge levels and capabilities participating. Some people asking are so noob they barely can create a first project. Some have done the major lifting on several long-form full Hollywood productions. No one popping in to attempt to help has any clue what your level of experience is, so especially first responses tend to be designed to fill in what may or may not be useful information across those what will be reading this thread over time.

Which is exactly what my initial response was. Nothing was intended to be demeaning about it.

Look back at your initial post ... there was absolutely nothing in your initial post to give any indication of your knowledge, skills, experience, and media at hand plus hardware (all of which are important) to actually answer such a question. A rather non-specific question too. Which is fine. When something like this pops up, it's pretty natural to ask the question in our heads, and not think of the background info others actually need to answer that question.

And yes, for a TON of the questions that have been asked about Warp here over the last 5-6 years, my initial post would resolve the majority of them. That was the entire point of my response based on information available at the time.

As to the comment that supposedly I'm telling people 'they're using the software wrong' ... whatever. I tend to give practical what I know works answers. Which ticks off people who think it should work different than it does, and then assume I'm defending the way it works. Not at all ... I'm just thinking you have work to get out the door, and this is how it can be done now with this software as is.

Like anyone who spends hours a day in this app, I've got plenty of complaints about the way it is. The engineers know 'em too. I'm not quiet about what I think could or should be different, plus I'm rather quick to jump on and push someone elses' interesting ideas even if I don't use that section of the app hardly at all.

That said I also assume that someone will respond with more information and further requests as their situation needs.

So ... back to your situation. Trying to sort out when in the workflow this happens. Say if you analyze a clip, and it 'gets' a result. If you do nothing further with the clip, does it still lose the analysis? Or is it when you say close the project, and then re-open it?

I saw the Z-Cams online, they look interesting. Hope it's a good to use as it is cool to look at. Are you recording then to the Ninja unit they talk about on their page? I've seen a couple people with A7siii that use a Ninja for ProRes recording who've had issues in PrPro, that might be one thing if so.

If someone changes much on a timeline, especially trimming or extending something before the Warped clip, so that it's place on the timeline changes, that can at times cause Pr to "lose" the Warp somehow.

It's these sorts of things that can be useful to know.

First thing to understand about Warp is it was created to rescue short bits of clips where there wasn't any way to re-shoot. Never intended for the way so many use it, giving it long pieces of every clip in a project at times.

So ...knowing that ... and the ton of computer resources it demands to run ... the more productive means of using it are to cut your long clips into logical but separate segments. The analyzation process is far simpler then, takes less time, and the creation of the media after analyzation also shorter.

Use the least changes you can get by with.

And as soon as you've stabilized a clip, do a render & replace to a good "digital intermediate" codec like Cineform, ProRes 422 (or higher), or DNxHD/R. This way, you never risk nor push Premiere into re-analyzing it. And you can always revert to unrendered if you need to re-do.
