Warp stabilizer moves image out of frame.
Since the last update of premiere, applying warp stabilizer to a clip will cause it to almost dissapair from the frame (See image). This is consistent in every clip where the effect is applied in any project I have tried. It can be worked around by switiching renderer to engine software only, but this is far from optimal.
As so many others in the business I have recently abandoned the old final cut pro 7 for Adobe Premiere Pro and I must say I’m not at all impressed. The amount of crashes and bizarre bugs and issues takes a few hours a week of my time. It’s not stable and the constant updates every few months seems to cause more problems than they are solving. Lots of problems with onlining and linking to material; The strange fact that adobe Premiere is not working nearly as well with adobe photoshop as FCP did; Not to mention that the autosave function does not necessarily make the copies I’ve set it to, causing me to loose hours of work when the program crashes -which seems to be the only thing it does reliably. And then there was the speedgrade with it’s clever direct link to premiere. That would be really clever, if it could actually launch.
Adobe, if you are out there, you got to do better than this. You can’t sell this as a serious tool if it’s not stable. Maybe avid is a better choice.
