Well, If you've got MS Office, Access may be customised to do all that, with a PC note card which will display a thumbnail with all the data about your frames. Since it is a specialist job that will take a lot of your time (better spent on jobs that earn money) I suggest you employ someone or contract a company to carry out the work.
