Make another video. This time have the AC off and not in defrost with the engine idling. Now turn on the AC. You will hear the compressor engage and at the exact same time the idle will dip.

I'll betcha.
Firstly, if the compressor is cycling as fast as OP's video, it's not an idle problem that he's got, it's an ac problem

Secondly, no, you got what you wanted, take the L.
