I can't say I find all his theories spot on, but he brings to attention some details about certain edits to the film which are worthy of a look. Specifically, he contends any visible spatter after 313 should have occurred for more than one frame, and does not. He uses a film of a bullet going through glass so demonstrate how effluence and shrapnel is visible for a number of frames after impact. You can argue the jump between frames 317 and 318 is a good place for an edit as well.

I've always found the 'First Frame Flash' issue to be quite decisive... since it's based on physics.

When a mechanically driven camera is first started, the iris opens & closes at a given rate all the time, but the film actually takes a finite amount of time to get moving... simple inertia.

This means that the first few frames of film - after the camera is started, will be moving somewhat slower than the film will be moving when it's at it's full regular speed.

Thus, the first few frames will be exposed to more light than succeeding frames. This is a well known issue with camera design - and although good design can help - you cannot overturn the laws of physics... the first few frames will always be 'lighter' in exposure than the rest of the film.

But the location where the film was stopped, then started, Z-132/Z-133 - fails to show the 'First Frame Flash' ... Z-133, and to a smaller extent, Z-134 and even Z-135 should have been more exposed.

YET THEY WERE NOT!

It's this exact issue that proved the 'Alien Autopsy' film a fraud... and equally so, it proves, SCIENTIFICALLY PROVES the extant Zapruder film has been altered.

Patrick Collins ran from this issue before...

But you're right... the fact that spatter should certainly have been seen longer in the extant Z-film is another excellent indicator of alteration.
