After we transferred the video to our PC, we can now load it into our editing software and start trimming it to size. The textured background here helps to find a point that we can easily identify as a start and finish. So we try to line up the frame to a similar frame further on, this will create one full rotation.

I use VEGAS Pro 14.0, but there are many free and open source programs available that can do this very simple job. It’s just what I happen to have.

Cutting the video.

After we cut the video we render it into an .avi format. I render it at 720p at 60 frames per second. This definitely overkill as my camera only records at 30 frames per second, but it is just a preset setting that works and I remove the video files after I made the .gif anyway, so space is not an issue either.
