How to stabilize video after it was made shaky by DSLR electronic VR?

Hi! I’ve got shaky video when shooting interview on Nikon D500 (Firmware version: C.1.11, LD 2.015) with Electronic VR “ON” + Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-NIKKOR 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED on steady Manfrotto 055 tripod with Manfrotto MVH500AH head placed on solid floor.
Video sample is here: https://youtu.be/dubi6fqDm4Y

I’ve never seen that even on consumer video cameras.

Could you please advise what effect or method could stabilize this video.

I’ve tried Adobe Premier Pro Warp Stabilize with little success.

I would take it into After Effects and stabilise it using some of those curtain patterns as Targets.

I would mask out the talent. Use a still for the curtains and leave the talent as is.

Masked against a stable BG might make her look "twitchy" Ann.

Tried it: she does not appear twitchy as she does not sit still.

    Thank you! I’ve got good results with After Effects which has more options to adjust stabilizer as compared to Premiere. Premiere Wrap failed in my case.

    That's messed up.  Looks like some bad Warp Stabilizer was already applied.
