Edius Stabilizer does not work properly with nested sequences:

[kpot]

Hi:
In the timeline I have a nested sequence > I drag the Edius-stabilizer onto this "clip".

My test runs about 1 minute, so that I can observe the completed percentages nicely in the background job:


After stabilization (background job has finished) > I save the project > quit Edius > restart Edius > stabilization starts again immediately (the background job shows the percentage of work done !!).
This actually looks like a BUG (if I assume that a nested sequence should behave like a normal clip).
// But this is not always done by nested sequences anyway: Waveform is not displayed, for example.


Any ideas ??

Hi Kurt
Happy New Year. I dont think it will work correctly on a sequence containing multiple clips. I would not have considered doing it like that only clip by clip and then nest the sequence - others may disagree. As you say, a sequence is NOT a clip else we would have a waveform...first whinge of 2019!

Fully agree with Dave. If stabilising is needed then I do it on a clip basis which can be fine tuned to suit each clips movement, and would not consider doing it on a nested sequence. Peter

Hi:
The question arised (by a forum-user, german edius-forum) because stabilizing with Mercalli does not show this behaviour.

// I for myself do not use any stabilizer on nested sequences.

Just tried this with 3 diverse clips (sequence1) and dropped this into sequence 2. Added Mercalli. It seemed to work.

Added an 18 minute sequence into sequence 2 and again added Mercalli and went for a walk. Edius produced an error report. Not surprised as this is no way to edit.

Normally I would only stabilise individual clips. Don't forget you can add Mercalli to any number of clip and then Tools->mecalli & batch render the 'mercalli' clips over 'lunch'.

Totally agree - kurt
