That worked perfectly to get the stereo back…

I think Im done. I don’t think it matters if some clips are using A1 stereo and then some are A1 and A2 dual mono.

thanks

The stereo mic, does actually capture a stereo sound stage, and sound a bit better than summing the channels to mono. Its not a big difference though. Im not going to re do my editing to restore the sound stage. I don’t think Im going to be able to change the audio mapping at this stage in the project.

What I would be interested to understand is if a future project gets corrupted, if I can extract the edit points, make a new project and at least restore all the places I made cuts in my clips. Any idea?

thanks,

Sorry,

Yes, I was using a hot shoe stereo microphone that plugged in directly to the DSLR

[Dan Sakols]

the media was captured with a Nikon DSLR. Normally my the clips audio shows stereo (L/R) on audio track 1. What happened, somehow, upgrading a Premiere 6 project to Premiere CC, the audio mapping changed to two mono tracks, A1 and A2. I went ahead and continued editing not realizing that these mono tracks were mapped to Ch 1. So i have a nice mono, but loose stereo.

With CS6 can I queue them up to run together, or do I need to be there for each one to start?

thanks

Ivan,

I want to try your suggestion about truncating the most extreme excursions by countering with keyframe motion in the opposite direction that WARP is moving the picture. In the effects control tab, under Motion, I don’t see the smoothing motion that WARP is generating, as you showed me in the picture in this thread. To you example of reducing a 120 pixel excursion, where do I see that excursion. the only thing I can see is if I stabilize without crop, then I can see how the picture is moved about by WARP, but nothing is quantized. In other words, its hard to find the peaks that I would need to compensate.

Im trying to stabilize a clip shot with an iPhone, and even at 1% smoothing, it crops to 130%… too much

Ryan, I want to export a ProRes project without transcoding. I assume checking the “Match Sequence Settings” box in Export Settings assures this. Im asking because my 15 min sequence took well over an hour, making me suspect some trans coding may have been going on.

Ivan,

I have been trying to stabilize a single 30min clip, so as you pointed out, that may be the problem. This giant clip was the result of editing I was doing in FCP, and then exported are ProRes, as a flatened media file. In the future I will editing in Premiere, so then it will be possible to apply WARP to the individual clips in the timeline. I gather then, that if I apply a smoothness setting across all the clips in the project, they will be analyzed separately, and the resulting zoom factor (or crop) will be unique to each clip. So that clip where there was alot of camera shake, will be zoomed in more than a clip that was very stable to start with. Am I getting this right? Also, can I apply WARP across multiple clips in one step?

Thanks for sharing your insights on this- this has been very helpful.

Ivan,

Im stabilizing a 30 min sequence of many shots edited in FCP. So what I gather WARP is going to zoom in some factor to give room for the most radical single stabilizing excursion in the sequence. I guess, even if there were tripod shots in the sequence, they would get the same zoom factor too. So what you are doing is analyzing the stabilization excursions, and then applying some “clamping” (the thin lines) to limit the cropping or zoom. And the bezier function is to soften that “clamp” so you dont get artifacts from halting the attempt to stabilize further. Is this right? to learn how to set this up, are there any articles? Can this be done in Premiere, or do I need to get AE?

Sorry for all the questions, but you understand the problem I am trying to solve.

Thanks Ivan. Im not sure what you mean by a displacement curve. Most importantly, I don’t want to scale my image, and essentially zoom in. I have not played with AE, but if that is the way to go, then there is where I will look. Is there somethign I am overlooking with WARP? I don’t wnat a sudden gross camera move, set a large zoom factor for the rest of the clip. I would expect that I should be able to set a max scale threshold, beyond which WARP will not go. There is a Max scale threshold slider, but when I set that to the point I want, it ends up cropping the image. How useful is that? I would like to set a maximum displacement of say 107%, and get the best stabilization within that constraint. Is there a way I can do this?

thanks,
dan
