Ahahaha the music! You weren't kidding when you said you shot a keyboard porno.
Regarding light flicker, it depends on your recording settings. Are you shooting at 60p? 50p? 30p? 24p? (NTFS/PAL) Shutter speed can also affect light flicker as well. Here's a good article explaining light flicker in footage in more detail:
http://urbanvideo.ca/avoid-video-flicker . LEDs and computer monitors are usually harder to record as they don't always have the same "refresh rates". So it might take some testing to get the settings right before you record.
Alternatively, if you want to manually fix the flicker in post, you can do this:
1. Go through the footage frame by frame. Find the first flicker frame.
2. Duplicate the footage, and on the duplicate, find an adjacent frame with no flicker.
3. Make the duplicate 1 frame long, put it above the original layer, and move it in time to cover the flicker frame.
4. On the 1-frame layer, draw a feathered mask around the area(s) that received the reflection in the bad layer. If the shot moves, reposition as necessary.
5. Repeat the steps above until you're done.
