How to fix auto focus and white balance flicker

Hello I'm new to this forum and am hoping there are some experts out there who can help me.

I have video footage shot with a Samsung Galaxy S23 phone. While editing in Vegas Pro 21 I'm noticing the camera zoom in and out slightly (as if auto focusing) in some spots and in other areas there is a flickering as if the auto white balance is correcting itself. Is there any way to fix this in post production using Vegas Pro 21?

One reason to not use auto white balance. Anything can change the results. As for "fixing" it, and I am sure someone will correct me, lots of manual keyframing or chopping up the clip where the color shift has happened and use VEGAS Color Match.

As for the "auto focus", someone else will have to comment on this, along with what settings to use when shooting with the cellphone.

I know that not always, you have time to set things up manually to get what you want, so depend on auto to get something. If I have to, I'll use auto white balance (if the lighting conditions are not changing) and manual focus or single point focus on my camera.
