Warp Stabilizer: PPro vs. AE
I have a batch of material to stabilize (different formats) and I was going to set up some projects to do these shots one by one.
Is there any inherent advantage to using PPro vs. AE or the other way round.
Thanks in advance if you have experience or insight to share.
Franz.

It’s easier to dump a bunch of stuff in Premiere instead of making a bunch of AE comps and having to RAM preview them etc.

Tero,
Thanks.
One issue that’s arisen is project bloat in PPro – as it stores the stabilization analysis as part of the project, it’s pretty easy for a project size to shoot up into the hundreds of MBs from just a few applications of warp. I’m not very experienced with PPro, but I’m concerned that project bloat has stability and usability implications. So I’ll be setting up each shot as its own project in either AE or PPro.
I’m just not sure if one or the other gives any more flexibility or advantages in terms of rendering time, etc.

The end results appear to be the same whether using After Effects or Premiere Pro. However, Premiere requires the sequence and clip settings to match (resolution, pixel ratio, frame rate), but AE is more flexible. An oversized composition shows how the image floats outside the screen; this makes it easier to add animation keyframes if you want to reduce border size and/or scaling. The grid overlay in AE is helpful, too. Both of these features can be emulated in Premiere, though.

Greetings. I’ve conducted some side-by-side tests stabilizing footage in PP and AE and have found the results to be the same. My guess is that it’s the same engine powering the effect. So I would recommend whatever software you’re more comfortable with and go with that.
