Hello, my name is Carl. I have a question for you and i hope you can help me. The thing is that I have a super 8 film movie that i wanted to digitize, looking on the web I found this guide that helped me a lot and I decided to try out.

I have scanned the film and i have used the script in the guide to straighten the pictures just like the guide, the problem now is that I don't know how to crop each frame from the image, i tried using the script but it doesn't work for me since the only thing that does is to create a selection that i have to manually put over each frame every time i need to crop, and since the film is over 3000 frames it would be very dificult to do it.
Because of that, I would like to know if there is a better way to do it or if you could tell me how to solve this issue.
Best regards.
You could see if the following script works for you, it was not designed specifically for the task at hand, but it may just work if the frames are evenly spaced/divisible into the canvas width. You would enter say 3000 for the number of columns and 1 for the number of rows. That being said, I would crop down a copy to have only save 10 or 20 frames and then test on the copy first. If this does work for you, it is easy enough to add an extra line of code to automatically rotate the final crops if

You potentially could load them as an image sequence into Premiere and either crop the whole sequence, or simply scale them up as a sequence. This assumes that the placement issue you are tryinig to correct is not unique for each frame, but a general scale or crop would work. Cropping is destructive, where scaling would allow for adjustment (keyframing) for each frame, but that would be tedious.
Prior to any crop or scale, ou could do a motion track on the sprocket holes to stabilize the footage, and then crop or scale.
Hope this helps!
