also, the first one is kind of hard to explain, but it involes temporarily blending supersequent and subsequent layers by 'difference'...this facilitates more accurate alignment with the layer below as the upper layer is being rotated and aligned with the layer below.
the see-saw effect is just a matter of making the sure that the subject is aligned in the middle and copying the sequence of layers (mirrored and reversed for the 2nd half of the animation)
EDIT: depending on the size of the original GIF I will sometimes increase the dimensions of the entire set of images by 400% to make for even more accurate alignment of frames. When it is all done, I will then reduce it back to the original dimensions
