<p>How I understand you speaking about illumination flickering.</p>

<p>It looks like artifact from different fps and light bulb flickering.</p>

<p>Usually you can fix it like that: </p>

<ol>
<li>Duplicate footage</li>
<li>Place it above first instance of that footage</li>
<li>Make transparency 50%</li>
<li>Move it one frame forward.</li>
</ol>

<p>That shall compensate flickering.</p>

The OP may have to experiment with multiple layers and varying opacity levels of the overlay layers.

How I understand you speaking about illumination flickering.

It looks like artifact from different fps and light bulb flickering.

Usually you can fix it like that:

1. Duplicate footage
2. Place it above first instance of that footage
3. Make transparency 50%
4. Move it one frame forward.

That shall compensate flickering.
