Hey all - There's been some talk of such things recently, so I thought I'd point out that I've got a movie script utility for automatically cropping image sequences against a reference image based on how they differ. This also uses Werner Sharp's technique of the imaging lingo 'reverse' ink trick, to great effect. :) It can be had at http://www.invisiblethreads.com/lingo/autocropper/index.html It requires Director 8 because of Imaging Lingo. It assumes the images to be cropped are already imported and that the reference image is also imported (in the same castlib) - see the comments at the beginning of the script for info. It is NOT a MIAW tool (at this point anyways), and works simply by selecting the reference image and sequence in the castlib, then running the script from the message window - short and sweet.. enjoy!
