Stabilization option disappears for some clips

Hi. Need a little help. When I highlight some clips in my timelin, the options for Stabilization and Rolling Shutter simply do not appear in the video Inspector -- but those options are there when I highlight other clips.

Could you help me get the Stabilization option back for these clips?

In more detail, what happens is this:

In my timeline, I highlight one clip and all the standard video options appear in the Inspector: Color, Transform, Crop, Distort, Stabilization, Rolling Shutter, Spacial Conform, Compositing
I highlight another clip, and Stabilization and Rolling Shutter are the only options missing entirely in the Inspector
I've tried clicking on the down arow in the top left corner of the affected clips, and selected Analyze and Stabilize, but that does nothing and does not make the Stabilization and Rolling Shutter options appear in the Inspector
I've also tried launching a whole new project, dragging some of that footage back into the timeline, and the same thing happens: no Stabilization option in the Inspector

Been editing for months in FCPX and this is the first time this problem has come up. Did I accidentallyy click a button I shouldn't have? Any help to resolve this would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

I thought I had the same problem. But then the solution was simple:

I had created a multicam clip, and was working on a bladed section where the "stabilization" function seemed to have disappeared. But when I double-clicked the clip in the timeline, the individual camera angles showed up in a separate window. Then, selecting the clip I was working on, the stabilisation function did appear and allowed for the necessary process.

YYou've selected a clip in the timeline that isn't a sync clip, multcam clip, compound, or audition and it has no stabilization in the inspector? Can you give details of this clip so maybe someone can figure out why this is happening.

Я просто в шоке! От версии к версии тянется эта проблема уже 4 года! С 2012 года, а в эппл не могут эту проблему решить. Как так-то!?

В 10.2.2 то же самое - ставишь галочку "стабилизация" процесс проходит и галочка сама снимается. Ну не бред ли, а... Пздц какой-то!

Не могли бы вы дать более подробную информацию о том, что вы делаете, и где? Стабилизация появляется для клипов в проекте, или когда клип открыт в график, если это синхронизация клипа или другого нестандартного контейнера.

I have found that the error lies in having multiple files in one "clip" – such as a merged clip; synchronized clip, etc.

Once FCPX sees that there could be multiple clips inside of one clip (even if it's not a compound clip; and even if it's just an audio clip that's manually added such as a boom mic), then it will not show these preferences. This is likely due to the tracking calculations jumping during the analysis.

Fix: Remove excess media files. If needed, right-click on clip in timeline and select "Open in Timeline". Then, remove excess media. If necessary, you can also choose to separate the audio from the clip on your main project timeline. This worked for me.
