You realize that this says nothing about whether it's the earth or the stars that are rotating, right? It's just a camera set to rotate at the same apparent rate as the sky.
Mainstream science says the earth is spinning, flat earthers say it's the stars that are spinning around us. Either way, a video of this sort would look identical.
Flat Earth is rotating? This is news for me. Can you explain more? Earth has an axis in center of the Earth or is just go round and round like carousel?

So, I have no real idea how something like this would work. Nothing actually on the surface of the earth can avoid rotating with the earth. So I assume that the camera has at least two main components, one fixed to the earth's surface, and another which can freely rotate independently of the orientation of the base. That part of the camera focuses on some feature, maybe in the sky, and it is programmed to remain on that focus with a fixed angle. So, as the base moves with the planet, this movable part of the camera can continuously adjust.
But, if I'm right, that would mean that the output we see in the video has to be a composite image, one from the aspect of the camera fixed to the earth, and one from the part I just discussed.
That's why you get the distortion that's obvious nearer the end, because what is shown here would not be axial rotation of the earth. The rotation in the video looks more like you'd expect to see from a ball rolling across a countertop.

Are you replying to the right person? Because I literally said the opposite:

EDIT: Nvm. I got it. I'm a hard-R.
