A weave correction system for the transfer of film to video or video to film operable in real time is disclosed. The digital real time registration weave correction system (10) includes: a high powered deflection system and low inductance yoke (23) in conjunction with a cathode ray tube (CRT) (22), and digital circuitry operable to detect the crossing of a light beam (26) generated by the CRT (22) over the edge of a film sprocket hole (14). The digital real time registration weave correction system (10) is operable in conjunction with a standard telecine. An analog real time registration weave correction system (120) is also disclosed.
