What is the fastest way to crop 2000 photos the exact same way in Affinity Photo?

[MadMinstrel]

I have been given a batch of ~2000 scanned photos, and they all have a margin. They have identical resolution and need to be cropped to the exact same coordinates. At 20 seconds per photo this would take me over 11 hours of mind numbing clicking if i were to do it manually.  I'd appreciate any tips on how to do this quickly and efficinently in AP.

Hi MadMinstrel, this can be done by first creating a macro. start the recording then apply your crop exactly where it is needed, then export your Macro to a library, you get the option of which category. Then you can start a batch job, select your cropping Macro and your export location and file type. It will do them while you while you put your feet up 

The Images must be the exact same size for this to work, I would make a couple of copies first to test with.
