[VP16_248] Stabilize crashing on frame rate mismatch

AVsupport wrote on 8/26/2018, 7:43 PM

With excitement I tried out the new 'Video Stabilization' with XAVC-S 50p source clips on a 25p timeline. This lead to repeated crashes on analzye or attempted playback. Only keeping project framerate and clips identical allowed me to successfully deploy Stabilize.

Attempting to further stabilize somewhat 'floatey' gimbal footage (z-axis walking motion) didn't really offer many improvements in my situation sadly. So far my first impressions of the plugin are slightly underwhelming in this particular scenario

Yes, it does, assumed the full license is used (which also works for VP15). If it doesn't appear after the VP16 install, either install Mercalli anew or copy the plug-in over from VP15.

Thanks for that. Time for me to take the plunge and upgrade.

I noticed you mentioning in another post you had So4... disabled. Is that the case for your above stabilization tests?

@AVsupport

Yes, as long as I do not need the So4 reader for the used footage, I still keep it disabled.

maybe this might be related to it crashing..

anyway, reactivated Mercalli V4 (from VP14 suite) which seem to work fine, including 100% CPU utilization on analzye (instead of 50) plus selectable hardware acceleration. Plus its visible as an event FX. Plus a few more choices to fine tune the outcome.. might have to stick with that one instead for the time being... moving on ;-)
