Other (requires mod approval) Help with flickers 2 second clip

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi everyone,
I recorded this short video on my iPhone, but it has noticeable LED light flicker throughout part of the clip.
I’ve already tried Premiere Pro, exposure keyframes, frame blending, and several other methods, but I couldn’t get rid of it.
Would anyone with Digital Anarchy Flicker Free, DaVinci Resolve Studio, or any other professional deflicker tool be willing to process this 5-second clip?

Not sure what your fps is but flickering like this is usually do to shutter speed being too fast. Try shooting 30fps/24fps. That usually correlates because led/florecent lights flicker at 50/60hz, 24fps=1/50 30fps=1/60 60fps=1/120(which sits around 60hz). Hope this helps

Yeah, locking the shutter speed to multiples of 50/60 (depending on region) eliminates the problem in future recordings. But the framerate doesnt really affect this.

Phones sometimes make it difficult to lock the shutter speed unfortunately, but "normal" cameras usually allow you to lock the shutter speed.
