Body: <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>
