- Automatic warp to match two video sources

I’m wondering if anyone knows of anything out there on the market that will automatically adjust warping on one video source to match another.
For example, let’s say you have two 35mm scans of a film, but one is cropped more on the left, one cropped more on the right. You want to combine the two videos to make a single composite with no cropping on the left or right; however, the pictures don’t perfectly align due to warping of the film or other inconsistencies between the prints. Is there a tool that can automatically match the two?
Software like DaVinci Resolve can automatically detect edges, and it can warp video, so it seems like there should be something out there that will automatically detect edges in two aligned videos and warp one (or both) so the edges match. I know there is proprietary software used by studios to align and combine three-strip Technicolor negatives automatically, which is basically the same idea. Anything like this for consumers? Or other methods anyone can suggest with good precision and minimal manual warping?
