Computer programs to frame to frame track objects.

I don't think there was any colorization before computers. Excapt in
the very early days there were a few very short segments where the film
was actually hand painted frame by frame.

Very crudely.  One frame at a time, in sweatshops.

Before there were computers, movies weren't colorized.  Well, I suppose
there was the Pathe stencil process in the 1920s....

Dusan Makajev selectively and badly hand-colored parts of some black and
white images in "Innocence Unprotected."  It was a funny and charming
