How do you fix a video clip that looks jittery after importing it?

I have imported the file.

 

Within the source panel, the video is jittery. I am a beginner.

 

I have tried rendering the file within premier but the video is still jittery.

 

Does anyone know how to fix this?

 

Thank you.

 

My OS is Big Sur.

I used handbrake and I did not change any of the settings within it. After it finished, I imported that file and that file worked.

 

What exactly did it change on the file?

 

Thanks.

Please use the free MediaInfo and post a screenshot the properties of your media in tree view:

Many users are having issues with VFR. If the file is variable frame rate, use Hand brake to convert to constant frame rate:

If that doesn't work, try Preferences > Audio Hardware and set Input to None.

If that doesn't work, try creating a new project and import the old one into it.
