Warp Stabilizer batch analysis

When I apply the Warp Stabilizer to a clip using a set of presets I have developed that all have the warning banner disabled, I find that the Analyze button in Effect Controls is buggy and often grays out or shows the wrong clip's progress.

For instance, I can drag and drop Warp Stabilizer on several different clips in a timeline. It doesn't automatically process when using presets, so I select the first clip and click Analyze.

Once that analysis starts, I select another clip and find the button grayed out, but the notification shows progress counting up frames from the first clip that I don't have selected anymore.

If I click off that clip and back on to it again, the button works now, and I can analyze only up to 5 clips simultaneously. In this screen recording, I'm selecting the first clip, then toggling back and forth between the next four clips until the button becomes available while the first clip is still processing.

Ideally, I would love for this to be a batch process where I can apply specific settings within Warp Stabilizer to as many clips as I want and have it automatically process them all in the background. I see this feature was first requested in the forums about 12 years ago, so really hoping for an improvement soon.

Agreed, that's very helpful! Thank you for sharing.

Still, this functionality needs to be included in the base software without requiring an external plugin. Looking forward to it being included in a future update if possible!

There is a Premiere Pro plugin that enables batch analysis of the Warp Stabilizer effects: Batch Analysis for Warp Stabilizer.

Thanks for posting ... I think a lot of people who could really use that don't know about it. I certainly didn't!

Given your system and the media you are using, I believe you might need to upgrade your hardware or transcode your media to an editing codec (or both) to achieve your goals. HEVC/H.264 4K files at 10-bit 4:2:2 require a lot of processing power.

I will move this thread to the Discussions for further troubleshooting and workflow discussion.

Thanks,
Kevin

Thank you for that suggestion! I appreciate your insights.

For clarity in case this gets implemented in future builds, the feature I'm requesting is a specific batch analysis function for Warp Stabilizer.

Notwithstanding the small bug in the interface, I appreciate that codecs and system specs have a huge effect on performance. And, I'd love to have a different interface that allows me to batch process clips in the background for as long as they need to cook—similar to how you can batch transcribe text in the background—instead of manually clicking each clip and waiting for it to finish analyzing before I can continue the workflow.

Thank you for your help!

Please add this in, @Adobe! It's a weird gap in functionality currently and would save a lot of time

Sure thing, apologies for not including that info in the original post. Here's my system info:

Adobe Premiere Pro version number: 24.6.1 (Build 2)

Operating system: macOS Ventura 13.6.9

System Info: CPU, GPU, RAM, HD:

Chip: Apple M1 Pro

RAM: 32GB LPDDR5

Hard Drive: 2TB internal SSD

Video format: Consistently happens with every format in each project, but usually I work with MP4 H.264 4:2:0 in 59.94 UHD, and sometimes HEVC 10 bit 4:2:2 in 23.976 UHD if I used an external recorder.

Workflow details: Warp Stabilizer is unable to analyze more than 5 clips simultaneously. I've noticed no variance depending on the sequence, footage, layers, effects, or anything else I can adjust. I have tested it with multiple clips from a variety of cameras, including stock footage.

Steps to reproduce/Expected result/Actual result - listed in the original post.

Thank you for your help!

Just for informational use ... Warp is the single heaviest effect used in Premiere Pro as far as I can tell. Even more of a drag on the system than Neat Video noise remover.

I think you're asking an awful, awful lot, and may not be realizing how much you are asking of your system.

Hi @Eric Robbins,

Thanks for the report. I'm Kevin from support, a mod here. The team will need more information about your system and media. See, How do I write a bug report?

I suspect you may be overtaxing system resources to achieve your goals, therefore, experiencing performance issues.

I would try analyzing smaller batches of clips at a time or increasing CPU, GPU, and RAM until you no longer have the trouble. If you are editing 4K files, HD files would provide better performance, too.

I hope the advice helps. The team should be able to help you, as well, if you provide more details. Sorry for the problems.

Thanks,
Kevin

You can batch analyze Warp? Huh. Didn't know that worked at all.
