Flickering image
Hi everyone,
This is my very first post on CC, so please cut me so slack in case I forgot to mention something.
I know ‘flickering image’ does not say much about the problem that’s why I’m linking this post with the clip in question.

I know what causes flicker and I know how to avoid it when shooting, however I did not shoot this footage but I do have to fix it or at least try.
Another problem is that I have limited resources as the only piece of software I can use to do this is AdobePremiere CS6.
This is not the first time I had to fix flicker, I managed to do it a few times with flickering screens, but all I did was draw a garbage matte over the screen and held it on a single frame as the screen was insignificant to the rest of the image and it projected a static image.
I researched the ‘flicker’ threads but I wasn’t able to find a post with a problem similar to mine. From what I’ve read so far I know fixing this will be an absolute nightmare and I might not even be able to do without AE. However wasting my time on fixing this will be a very good argument for a reshoot.
Many thanks!

I wouldn’t attempt it without AE, however if you have access to a PC you could try this: https://compression.ru/video/deflicker/index_en.html It a plugin for virtual dub https://virtualdub.sourceforge.net/ (free), i’ve had success with this in the past.

Hi. I´ve succesfully fixed flicker too in the past with VirtualDubMod (https://virtualdubmod.sourceforge.net/), it´s free and easy and gives reasonable good results.
I made a videotutorial about this, it´s in spanish but i think you won´t have much problem understanding it, perhaps it may help:
