Stabilizing footage from 35mm scan

I don't think they care. But of course you win, when you get what you like. Enjoy. I'd rather see the real movie.

Hi hmm when i did try to stabilizing super 8mm i did try a method with imagemagick it did work very good
it auto crop the top to where the top of the frame starts and cut the frame 1080 down so you get only that frame

but when a black frame comes then this method fails :/

i use now a avisynth script that stabilizing on the sprocket holes and it works very good
but the sprocket hole must be the brightest so it does not work so good if i have to high the exposure




here is the .bat script code where it say IN (0,1,407) that mean image1.tga to image407.tga it´s the -gravity that do auto thing best if you read it on there homepage http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/crop/
you have to edit this to -crop 1600x1080+0+0 to your own resolution and of course the input and output
and you do not need the -chop 0x10 you can delete that i have to crop first 10 lines from the top first because i did have a other frame that was visible on the top

FOR /L %%i IN (0,1,407) DO (CALL :loopbody %%i)
GOTO :eof

:loopbody
convert "F:\flicker\image%1.tga" -chop  0x10 -gravity South -background white -splice 0x1 -background black -splice 0x1 -fuzz 15%% -trim -chop 0x1 +repage -gravity North -crop 1600x1080+0+0 +repage "F:\crop2\image%1.tga"
