iPhone Time Lapse will not encode

I have an iPhone 12 Time Lapse that I have placed into a video. It previews fine, but it will not encode into a final product. The time lapse portion freezes and does not produce the time lapse. I'm pretty sure the sequence and encoding settings are the issue, but even when I create a sequence from the file, then encode matching the sequences settings, it produces a 98% frozen screen. What am I doing wrong here???

Thanks Neil! I did find a solution similar. I ran it through the encoder and converted the .mov file to .mxf. It seems Premiere has an easier time reading the file. I'm not sure "why" this is the case. I have encoded with time-lapses before and never had an issue. No matter the case, it does appear a file conversion is needed for the time being. Thanks for the help!

If this is recorded as a video file of some kind, it would need to be run through HandBrake  first to convert from VFR to CFR.

 

But I'm not sure what that phone does.
