Thanks for the caution about flickering.

When I exported that 16GB file it played-back unacceptably poorly— it hesitated badly.

I imported that that 16GB into the Compressor app and exported from there using the preset shown in the attached screenshot. Compressor spit-out a 1.47GB file that looks good and plays-back smoothly.
