  • Warp stabilize with proxy?

    Posted by Alex Ezorsky on October 17, 2017 at 10:05 pm

    So I’ve got a 5184×3456 time-lapse that I’ve converted to prores that I want to stabilize. But it currently takes too long (as the resolution is massive)

    So I made a downresed 1280×864 prores and stabilized that. Bam done, works.

    But no pattern of pre-comping, collapsing transformations, or scaling of comps seems to allow me to insert the full res version and keep the stabilization movement. All changes lead to an error saying essentially “layer size has changed and thus needs to be re-analyzed”.

    Any idea how I can trick AE into letting me keep the position data while changing the contents and content resolution?

    Thanks

    You can’t translate low-res warp stabilization to a higher-res clip. It’s not just position data; the Warp Stabilizer actually warps pieces of the image itself to achieve stabilization.

    I know this is a really old thread, but I am having this issue and understand it’s how warp stabilizer works, but I did notice something when stabilizing multicam clips in the timeline. It retains the proxy and stabilizes. I’m using a mac and premiere pro 23.0.0 (Build 63). I hope this helps some people. I haven’t tried nesting clips, but that might be an idea to try.
