    best practice:

    • get the material which was projected (slides, ppt, mov, jpg ...) as 'data'

    • replace it in your project

    to make things easy, use tools like SliceX, in case camera was moving....

     

    Things get really complicated, if presenter 'covered' projection = stood before the projection....

    hmm, well, .. there are plugins claiming to get rid of it, search for "FCPX deflicker", no recommendations from me=  no hands-on experience...

     

    Flicker usually occur, when your cam records with a diff. frame-rate then the projection (or just the lamps which illuminate scenery, fluorescence lamps are 'killer'), it's 24/25/29.97/50... vs 50/60Hz ..... therefor my recommendation to 'insert' the projection in edit - gives the best results inshortest time....  except, presenter has to be masked-out (SliceX is your friend!!) ...

     

    And in case you can't get rid of him/her - cut-away to a full-screen slide, or some neutral "the audience is listening sleeping" shot, or show anything which 'fits'.

    I just saw a post from T. Payton (who is very knowledgeable) that sang the praises of this product..

     

    Good luck.
