Oh! Oh! I have something for this!

>when there's curve its just the distortion of the wide angle lens
>when it looks flat its when the horizon is in the middle of the frame so the distortion fixes itself
Middle of the frame = where the horizon looks like what I want it to look like.

>However, with the lens centered with the horizon line, the true shape is shown, and it's flat.
But the horizon line is below the center through the entire clip.
You need to be careful of confirmation bias. Yeah, lens distortion is a thing and the center is (generally) less distorted than the outside (it varies by lens and you need to know how the particular lens is affected by distortion) but just because it looks like how you want it to doesn't mean it is in an area that is unaffected by distortion.
