Question / Help OBS Recorded Gameplay Flickering?

So I downloaded OBS today because I've been looking for screen recorders recently and most either lagg my game or have a water mark that ruins the whole video. I came across OBS. I set all my settings and got the recording to work fine (I'm recording rather then streaming with File output only) I started recording LoL while I was playing and I got some frame lagg but none of it was a problem. Basically, the recording was completely fine. I then later quit the game after my match was complete and opened up the directory and viewed the video I had just recorded. It started off fine with no lagg in the video or anything but the screen and HUD's started to flicker rapidly. The background image was completely unaffected, only the ingame chat and HUD's were continuously flickering. This went on for the whole video. I couldn't find out how to fix it but I kept the recording in case I need to show you guys it for help. Does anyone know why the video is flickering? Is there any definite answer to how I can fix it for future videos and if possible, this already recorded video? Any help would be appreciated, if OBS settings or PC settings are required I can provide them but one video setting I remember off the top of my head was that i was recording the video with 30 FPS, using the 64bit software (my PC is 64bit btw) and there were no problems or errors during the recording.

Sorry I had to post so many times, the reply box wouldn't let me go over a certain limit. Most of the beginning of the log is probably me tweaking with the settings because I had a black screen when recording, then I realized I had to add a scene and put monitor capture LOL.
