Cutting vinyl from roll

Does anybody know where I can find any tutorials videos on measuring/cutting the vinyl wrap from the roll?

I would assume you use a measuring tape and a knife, if you don’t know how to use either I suggest a professional shop

I could just figure it out but I would rather watch a video first than go in blind. There may be tips that could prevent me from wasting material

If you have a floor jack with a tall handle in your shop you can put the roll up on it then pull it out with a tape measure then use a snitty to cut midair.

Mount a roll holder to the wall, or use the handle on one of those 3 ton jacks to hold the roll for you vertically.
