Your Pixel might be recording something completely different from what you see
The viewfinder says you've nailed it. The saved footage disagrees.
A recent bug in Google's Pixel 11 video recording feature has been causing users to encounter unexpected issues. When recording moving subjects, these individuals may appear perfectly fine in the camera viewfinder during the process of filming, but end up completely absent in the saved footage. This phenomenon has been observed by Pixel 11 owners and even traces back to older models like the Pixel 6 Pro.
One Reddit user, who was tracking a pedestrian at 18x zoom, noticed their subject disappear from portions of the saved video despite still being clearly visible in the camera preview. The discrepancy in the recording's framing led to the pedestrian being missing from certain parts of the video. Similar behavior has also been reported when tracking moving cars while using 4K/60fps recording and the default video stabilization settings.
