Your Pixel might be recording something completely different from what you see

TL;DR A Pixel 11 video bug causes moving subjects to disappear from saved recordings despite remaining visible in the camera viewfinder. Similar complaints date back to the Pixel 6 Pro, with video stabilization and lens switching among the suspected culprits. We reproduced similar behavior on our Pixel 9 Pro XL, but our Galaxy S26 FE showed no comparable issue during testing.
