Regarding the Video Boost portion of my latest video regarding the Pixel 9 Pro XL: I was alerted to an interesting quirk regarding how the Pixel saves the videos before and after boosting, which led to some confusion as to whether or not the 'non-boosted' video was actually what I recorded. Turns out, it's a low resolution 'cover' video that is just being used to preview the clip in Google Photos.

It's a bit sneaky, I have to admit - why not let me keep both versions of the video properly for comparison? That said, the final boosted video is definitely a marked improvement, no matter what. It just might be a little less 1:1 of a comparison as presented in my video, given the weird file saving quirk.

Shouts out to @Quoutub for pointing that out. Always learning!

You can still come hang out with me and the Pixel 9 Pro XL in my latest Real World Camera Test!
