I you crop 152 on both sides, it"s 1920-152-152= 1616/8= 202.

It depends on the aspect ratio and the final result you want.
Do you want HD again? Then you must add borders again.

And what is your source? Transfered 8mm film or something else?
Because 8mm should be 4:3 and 1616x1080 is not 4:3.

1440x1080 is 4:3.
You are correct about 152...math is my weakest subject. Thank you!

My sources are HD 1920 x 1080 16FPS ProRes .MOV files from 8mm reels, transferred by a FlashScan system. They all have the black borders which if cropped makes the full frame about 1560 x 1080. I should look more closely to ensure each file has the same border width.

I was hoping to do everything with these scripts but some post-production editing in Vegas Pro is necessary. I also tend to have more luck with filters like unsharp mask in Vegas Pro because the feedback is so quick, allowing me to fine tune much easier.

I've attached an unprocessed HD frame capture roughly cropped.

John: I put trim beginning back into your script, and am going to attempt to add trim end back. It helps me a lot because several of my reels are more than 30 minutes and often contain half footage I don't want, so it speeds up my processing a great deal to have things split out from the get-go.
