Editing an animated map[edit]

I was wondering if there is any way to edit this animated map so that it would only show Maine and not any other US state or territory:

I'm asking for a friend who is doing a project on the demographic changes that Maine has experienced over the last 200 years. If either you know how to do this or knows someone else or some place where someone else is able to tell me how to do this, that would certainly be great!

Free program VirtualDub can import your animated .gif, apply a video filter called "Crop" and save a new animated .gif. Configuring the Crop as L/R/B/T = 855/43/34/452 isolates a little animated Maine. However other editing will be needed to include the year numbers and the colour key.
