The keyframes will probably create a periodic pattern like a sine wave or something similar. In fact, it seems like that's mainly what they were doing in the dewobbler video - just setting keyframes for moving the center. This can be done in most video editors or motion graphics apps like FCPX, Motion, Premiere, After Effects, etc. Just use the normal transform tool.</p>

<p>I am doing now a Turntable video Project similar to <a href="https://www.jamesallen.com/engagement-rings/solitaire/14k-white-gold-15mm-comfort-fit-engagement-ring-item-22606" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.jamesallen.com/engagement-rings/solitaire/14k-white-gold-15mm-comfort-fit-engagement-ring-item-22606</a></p>

<p>I am right now working a lot time to make sure that the item is exactly entered on the turntable so it should look good</p>

<p>Is there any software that could fix the video if it was not centered while capturing?</p>

<p>see here <a href="https://arqspin.com/product-tour/manage/dewobbler/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://arqspin.com/product-tour/manage/dewobbler/</a> this website does a good job but it converts it to images, and even if you export it as a video it will become bumpy like a gif...</p>

<p>Or does anyone have any experience or ideas how i could make sure that it is exactly centered?</p>

<p>Thank you in advance</p>
