<p>The root of the issue might be your footage. If you have high amplitude shakes in your video the stabilizer will try to stabilize those as well. That can result in such issues.
Try different settings, the default values don't work with every type of camera motion.</p>

I've tried multiple pieces of footage and changed all the values - even did a completely still clip and it still did that. It works fine on an older version of Premiere, so the clip is fine.

Then you might want to try changing the playback engine as AJ Henderson suggested. Could be an error from the GPU engine.

<p>Has anyone seen this problem before? When I apply (and only when I apply) the warp stabilizer, it seems like only 1/10 of the video shows up.</p>

<p>Here's a screenshot:</p>

<p>It works on older versions of Premiere for me, and it happens in the latest (CC 2014) no matter what I do or what clips I use from different sources. </p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

Not truly a solution, but a workaround for me was to change to software rendering from GPU rendering.

What resolution is the video and the sequence?  Have you tried changing the playback engine?  Do all clips behave similarly?

720p, both the clip and sequence. All clips behave the same way.
