FCPX Stabilization is always popping off?

I set a 'Stabilization'. It's there. It's working. I come back to the shot an hour later, or even ten seconds later and the 'Stabilization' has turned itself off. This is chronic. And a nightmare ... I keep watching through sequences to make sure everything is hunky dory ... and come back later and some of the clips have the 'Stabilization' unclicked, off, though I know for a fact it had been on and working shortly before.

Wondering if anyone has any ideas why this might be happening?

Yes, this can very well be the case but I do not monitor if analyzing for domination motion is still running as I usually set a bunch of things at the same time (LUT, stabilization, transitions, titles, ...) and then wait to see if tripod mode can be activated.

Still consider this a bug as this imposes restrictions on our workflows. Have not reported that specific one though as I think I have too little information to submit.

I am seeing somewhat the same thing; either 'stabilization' is turned off entirely or only 'tripod mode'.

This does happen sometimes but in my case not always and I have yet to see a pattern except this seems to happen more often when stabilization is changed for multiple clips at the same time.

Mmm. Interesting, Stefan. Do you mean that you click 'on' the stabilization for a clip, then jump to the next clip and turn it 'on' while the first clip is 'analyzing for dominant motion'?

I'll be more conscious as I do this. Though I'm thinking I do one clip, make sure it is working, then do the next; so I'm not jumping ahead as clips are being analyzed.

Will report back what I find out by being more conscious.
