Premiere Pro Premiere CC tutorial: Warp Stabilizer won't analyze

By Vince-Patrick Mitchell | September 9th, Adobe Creative Suite CS6 tutorials |

In the latest version of Premiere Pro, a new feature called Warp Stabilizer has been added to help stabilize footage that was shot with shaky or moving cameras. However, some users are reporting issues when trying to use this tool.

The problem seems to be related to how long it takes for Premiere Pro's Warp St stabilizer effect to analyze the clip before applying stabilization effects. In one case reported on forums, a user had an AVCHD 1920×1082 25p file that took over 36 minutes just to analyze! That’s almost as long as watching the entire video itself!

So what could be causing this delay? Let's dive into some possible solutions below:

1. Check your system specs: First things first, make sure you have a powerful computer with enough RAM and processing power running Premiere Pro. If not, consider upgrading or switching to an older version of Premiere that doesn't require so much oomph.

2. Use the right codec: It seems like some users are experiencing issues when working with certain types of media files (like AVCHHRW10). Try exporting your footage as a different format before importing it into Premiere again - perhaps something more straightforward like MP4 or MOV will do the trick?

3. Reduce resolution/frames per second: If you don't need 1080p at 25 frames per second, try reducing these settings down to see if that speeds things up slightly.

4. Try re-exporting your project in a different format altogether (like ProRes or H264). Sometimes exporting as something else can 'clear out' any cache issues causing slow performance

5. Re-authorize Adobe Creative Suite: If none of the above steps work, try deactivating and then reactivate Adobe CC again - sometimes this will resolve compatibility problems between Premiere Pro & other CS6 apps.

I hope these suggestions help you get back to stabilizing your shaky footage in no time! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues using Warp Stabilizer in the comments below.
