PPro CC Warp Stabilizer chopping-off final frame.
I have a sequence with 1 clip, exactly 19 seconds long.(00;00;19;00)
It was shot with a hand-held Panasonic HMC-150, with a little shakiness but not a lot of movement.
I applied Warp Stabilizer (WS), and now all appears well EXCEPT the final frame is chopped-off. When I play back the footage, all appears well in the Program Monitor EXCEPT the final frame; it’s “chopped-off” by about 15% on the right side.I’ve reset WS, and re-analyzed/stabilized, and it still happens.
I’ve even gone so far as to “Clear” the effect from the clip, AND clear the clip from the sequence so the sequence is empty, then re-added the clip, re-analyzed/stabilized, and the last frame is STILL chopped-off.I’ve used PPro Warp Stabilizer in the past and it worked fine.
Am now using it via PPro CC, and I just can’t get the final frame to show in its’ entirety.In the Adobe forums I found a “solution” that hints at changing the Opacity, then re-setting it to 100%. I changed the CLIP Opacity, then changed it back to 100, and the problem persists. I even rendered the sequence with the lower Opacity value, then changed it back to 100%, then re-rendered once it was set back to 100% and the prolbem STILL persists.
Any clues? Or does this require me to re-create the sequence from scratch? (Not a big deal with such a short clip, but totally unexpected).

if you have handles you could try moving the clip a layer up, and prolonging the duration. Then apply stabiliser and trim back to original length.

Thanks so much for responding.
My source footage is exactly 19 secs long, and I’ve put the whole clip into the sequence, so I could only shorten/trim it.
I tried that, trimming only the final frame, but the problem only moved 1 frame to the left, so it appears that the problem relates to whatever the final frame is.I think that hints that the “problem” is somehow related to the sequence or a sequence setting.
Other thoughts?

That’s just the end of the sequence indicator. Put something after it and it should be just fine.

Thanks so much for your response and offering suggestions.
Unfortunately, I can’t add anything to the sequence. I have 40 clips, and am making 40 sequences. Each sequence is being exported via AME as MPEG-2 DVD, then imported to Encore and made playable through Playlists. This is necessary to meet customer requirements.
I’ve created dual PPro projects, 1 in CS6 and 1 in CC.
The CS6 project, with the Warp Stabilizer applied to my single clip, works as expected, i.e. the final frame is not “chopped off” and each frame is filled.
The CC project, with the same clip, the same sequence settings, and the Warp Stablilzer applied, still has the final frame “cut off” by approx. 10-15 %, with black space both above and below the image.I believe I may have uncovered a bug that forces me (at least) to be suspect of the present incarnation of the Warp Stabilzer effect in PPro CC.
I’ve filed a bug report with Adobe, but unless others run into the same situation and speak up, I have little hope for it being resolved soon.
FWIW, and for others who may encounter the problem, here’s info about how I ran into it:
1) I shot AVCHD footage on Panasonic HMC-150
2) created project in PPro CC
3) created new sequence, with these settings:

5) dragged .MTS file to timeline
6) applied Warp Stabilizer (with default settings) to clip
7) analysis and stabilizing completed
8) pointed to final frame of clip within the sequence
9) found final frame noticeably “chopped off”, with an unknown/unusual white line on the right side of the clip marking the point at which the frame is “chopped off”.
Not only is my final frame “chopped off”, but each individual frame is not filled, i.e. there is black space both above and below the image. (That doesn’t happen in the CS6 project).This was done on a Windows 7 Pro (Service Pack 1) machine with i7-3930K CPU @ 3.2 GHz with 32 GB of RAM and nVidia GeForce GTX 670 GPU.
Maybe this will help others who might be encountering the same/similar problems.
Apologies for the length.
Thanks again for your suggestions.

Hi Denis,
Is this what you are seeing?

YES!
Am I doing something obviously wrong, or just dense?
Have you a solution?
Thanks.

Paul was correct in saying this is the end of sequence indicator.
When the playhead is parked on the last clip in a sequence, the monitor displays a duplicate of the last frame with an End of Clip/Sequence indicator (black bar) drawn along its righthand edge.
That’s the line your seeing. This will not be in your final output.
Best,

Peter,
THANKS. It’s a relief to know that.I love learning those little “tidbits” about software, but feel compelled to ask this:
Is there a simple, or at least brief explanation as to why I see that in PPro CC but not in an identical project in CS6?
Thanks, and best regards,

Hi Denis,
The end of sequence indicator is a new feature Premiere Pro CC. That is why you’re not seeing it in CS6.
