Can't reverse a stabilized clip?

Hi,

In VP10c (32 bit - haven't yet tested in the 64 bit version) I cannot reverse a stabilized clip. Doesn't the built in stabiliser render this new take as a separate file in the project? Such a new file should be similar to the original source material and logically should be able to be reversed, as any other source video material. Why can't VP reverse it (reverse is grayed out when right-clicking the clip)?

Probably something simple that I have not understood about the inner workings of VP - or is this an bug?

Cheers,

Christian

Worth pursuing Christian.

What happens of you do the reverse of this: Reverse Event and THEN stabilize?

Stabilize function can not work with reversed clips :(

Ah, good point!

But not even if I made a SubClip from it?

Why not just render out stabilised clip, bring in as new clip and reverse that, that's got to work surely?

Yes, it should, and don't call me surely.

Hi,

This is definitively NOT a showstopper, but at least a nuisance. Render out - that is what I'm forced to do to work around this, yes....

However, isn't that what the built in stabilizer does - "renders" out? It produces a new file as a take within the clip - a file that is already stabilized. How does this already stabilized file differ from the original clip, or from a rendered out file? Or is it that a clip with multiple takes cannot be reversed at all - must experiment more here.

I would understand that you cannot reverse the clip if the stabilisation is done in real time, but here its already a processed new file (that should be possible to reverse)....

Happy if someone else also does some experimenting :)

It is working for me in 10c 64 bit. I put a MTS clip on the timeline, stabilized it, and then applied a velocity envelop set at -100.

@ TeeTime: Now that's interesting. Have you tried the Reverse option on the Right click on the Event? I'm guessing that was what the OP was using? But you're using the minus attribute on the VeloEnvel.

If this is correct, and you test the Right click Reverse option, then one Control gives a different result as to another Control. Interesting…

The Reverse option is disabled (grayed out). But the Velocity Envelope works.
