Abstract
A film processing method for removing troubled film strips from a series of film strips to which it is spliced for processing. The troubled film strip is removed by cutting along a line located inwardly of a leading end of the troubled film strip by a distance at least equal to the width of a splicing tape from a center line of the splice between the leading end of the troubled film strip and a preceding film strip such that a part of the troubled film strip remains connected to the preceding film strip. A succeeding film strip, or another film strip, is then spliced to the remaining part of the troubled film strip.
