How to Fix the “Warp Stabilizer Requires Clip Dimensions to Match Sequence (Fix by Nesting)” Error
When applying the Warp Stabilizer effect to multiple clips in your timeline with different resolutions, you may have encountered the error message “Warp Stabilizer requires clip dimensions to match sequence (fix by nesting)” or the “Warp Stabilizer requires clip pixel aspect ratio to match sequence (fix by nesting)” error.
These errors occur when the Warp Stabilizer is applied to a clip that has different dimensions or pixel aspect ratio compared to the sequence. Below you will find a simple solution to fix this error.
If you have encountered the “New Frames Need Analyzing” error while moving clips from one sequence to another, you can refer to this tutorial on how to fix the issue: New Frames Need Analyzing – Click Analyze.
Steps to Fix the “Warp Stabilizer Requires Clip Dimensions to Match Sequence” Error:
Follow the steps below to fix the “Warp Stabilizer Requires Clip Dimensions to Match Sequence” error:
- Remove the Warp Stabilizer Effect
If the Warp Stabilizer effect is already applied to the clip, remove it. You can also move it to the clipboard by using the cut functionality (Ctrl-X).
- Nest the Clip
Right-click the clip and select “nest”.
- Apply the Warp Stabilizer Effect to the Nested Sequence
Select the Warp Stabilizer effect from the Effect Panel or paste the effect if you previously cut it. The effect will now begin analyzing the footage.
In earlier versions of Premiere Pro, you may have come across the “Shake Reduction requires clip dimensions to match project settings. Create a new project” or “Shake Reduction requires clip pixel aspect ratio to match sequence. Create a new project” error. The above steps can also be used to fix these issues.
To automate the above process, you can also use the Batch Stabilization Extension.

Depending on your system settings, you may also encounter these errors in your system language. The following table lists a few errors that can be resolved using the steps below.
| System Language | Error |
| German | Verkrümmungsstabilisierung erfordert, dass die Clipgröße der Sequenz entspricht (Korrektur durch Verschachteln). Für die Verkrümmungsstabilisierung muss das Pixel-Seitenverhältnis des Clips der Sequenz entsprechen (durch Verschachteln fixieren). |
| Spanish | El estabilizador de deformación requiere que las dimensiones del clip coincidan con la secuencia (corrección por anidamiento). El estabilizador de deformación requiere que la proporción de píxeles del clip coincida con la secuencia (corrección mediante anidación). |
| Italian | Per la funzione Stabilizzatore alterazione, le dimensioni della clip devono corrispondere alla sequenza (correggi con nidificazione). Per la funzione Stabilizzatore alterazione, le proporzioni pixel della clip devono corrispondere alla sequenza (correggete con la nidificazione). |
| French | Pour la stabilisation de déformation, les dimensions de l’élément doivent correspondre à la séquence (corriger par imbrication). Pour la stabilisation de déformation, le rapport L/H en pixels de l’élément doit correspondre à la séquence (corriger par imbrication). |
By following the steps described in this article, you can easily resolve any of the above errors.
