Made a script:

----------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash

interval=1
if [ $# -gt 0 ] ; then interval=$1 ; fi
echo "Using interval of $interval seconds"

mkdir -p raw
mkdir -p avg
mkdir -p frm
FRM=0
for f in FHD*; do
   len=$(ffprobe  -select_streams v -show_streams $f 2>/dev/null| grep 
'duration=' | sed 's/.*=//i;s/\..*//')
   echo $f $len $FRM
   pos=0
   while [ $pos -lt $len ]; do
     ffmpeg -ss $pos -i $f -frames:v 4 raw/frm$(printf "%05d" 
${FRM})_%d.png 2>/dev/null
     convert raw/frm$(printf "%05d" ${FRM})_*.png -average 
avg/frm$(printf "%05d" ${FRM}).png
     mv raw/frm$(printf "%05d" ${FRM})_1.png frm
     rm raw/frm$(printf "%05d" ${FRM})_*.png
     FRM=$(($FRM+1))
     pos=$((${pos}+${interval}))
   done
done

echo deflickering avg
cd avg
timelapse-deflicker.pl 2>/dev/null
echo deflickering frm
cd ../frm
timelapse-deflicker.pl 2>/dev/null
cd ..
ffmpeg -r 25 -pattern_type glob -i 'avg/Deflickered/*.png'  -c:v libx264 
-pix_fmt yuv420p avg.mp4
ffmpeg -r 25 -pattern_type glob -i 'frm/Deflickered/*.png'  -c:v libx264 
-pix_fmt yuv420p normal.mp4

----------------------------------------

Looks like ok. Uses lot of time and disk, real filter to ffmpeg would be 
much faster, but I am not in such mass production / my release schedule 
is not tight, so this will be sufficient to me.
