What is the minimum amount of 16mm overscan, if you want to stabilize in post?

what you've shown I believe should be enough. a vfx sup I know was doing that somewhat regularly on S16mm several years ago and IIRC the demo showed about this amount of sprocket hole.

though if you can run it through a pin optically registered scanner I'd recommend that over manually doing it in post, just so its done

I thought a little sprocket area would help with stabilization. No option for pin register. Just Retroscan for now. Normally I'd do what I tell all you to do...TEST! But this is the computer I have and it is hard to test...

Anything slightly intensive heats up the computer like a blow dryer. If I don't give it extra air it shuts down. And it takes hours to run one stabilizing test on a small 400-foot 16mm reel.

I hope to get a better computer that is more conducive to video work. The Movavi stabilizer has a number of settings, so lots of tests needed.
