Sync or batch crop photos

I am shooting a series of photos on a turntable in order to create an object rotation movie. I need to crop all of the photos to remove some unwanted distractions near the edges, but I need to crop all of them identically. This is something that would be relatively straightforward to do by syncing in Lightroom or as an action in Photoshop, but I have dropped my license for those in favor of ON1 Photo Raw 2018. I can't seem to find a way to do this in RAW without going in and cropping each photo individually and I would have to put in the dimensions by hand to make the crop the same for all.

Am I missing something? Is there some way too do this to automate cropping all of them identically? It is easy to sync settings and use presets, but I don't see any way to put a crop in that process.

Thanks for any help anyone can give. I hope I am just missing something obvious.

Sorry John. I haven't found any way to batch crop anything in On1 and you can't save a crop as a preset either. If you have to crop, you'll have to do it by hand.

What about adding a border instead. You could apply that consistently.

Okaaayyyy,

John I don't know if it's a bug or not, but if you have PR2019beta you might be able to batch crop by 'accident'.

I'm playing with the text tool in 2019 and saving the text as a preset, but I'm seeing that when I use the preset that my photo is being cropped the same as the photo that I added the text to.

If you have 2019 and need more info, let me know.

So I'm told that saving crops in 2019 is a bug that needs to be fixed, so looks like you only have a limited time to exploit it.
