Best (or slickest) way to trim vinyl slats for vertical blinds?

Hey Gang, I've got a nice set of custom-cut verticals which (long boring story) I'm mounting in a different opening than the one they were trimmed for.

Luckily the track mechanism fits in the new opening as-is, but the slats will each need 3/4" trimmed off (which is easier than ADDING 3/4", LOL)...

If I use tin snips, I can only cut 1 or 2 slats at a time, and I'm afraid I'll wind up with variances, leaving a ragged looking "hemline". Is there a way to cut them ALL at once, clamped in a stack, with a jigsaw or circular saw, that will NOT leave the edges jagged... or MELTED?

Thanks in advance, window treatment neophyte, blundering into the danger zone... =:O
