Moira:

Super-8 framelines vary a lot, and splices will jump because they are never 
perfect.

The best and simplest way to deal with this is to scan more than the frame 
itself -- to overscan the image enough that any jump doesn't cause you to lose 
any of the image.

Then it's a simple matter to reposition the offending frames vertically so that 
they are in the right place.  This is very easy to do in most editing software 
on Mac and PC, and also using the free version of DaVinci Resolve 9.

Of course, you need to scan at a high enough resolution so that you are not 
reducing quality when you crop the image back to its normal size.  Kinetta 
scans at 3296 x 2472, so there's plenty of latitude for reframing.

You might want to download this for more information:

I am offering scans at a discount to Frameworks folks this month.

Best,
