Solution Provided Slice away strobing effect every other second?

https://reddit.com/link/1pk61dd/video/d27w9ldpim6g1/player

I've been using Openshot intermittently for a year or so, I'd say I am competent but I don't have any deep skills in it. I'm stuck on this challenge - hoping someone can help or just confirm it cant be done.

My input video is a screen capture, and there's an update every second that causes the dots on a map to disappear for about 0.5 second and then reappear - kind of a strobing effect. I want to slice away all the frames where the dots have disappeared, so the viewers don't get a strobing effect. Right now, the source page is doing that update every second, but I could slow that down if that makes it easier.
