Video Boost has been a staple of the Pixel’s camera experience for two years now, helping us shoot clearer, more stable, better zoomed videos in challenging situations. For me, though, the feature hasn’t always been part of my go-to tricks. I used it a lot when it first launched on the Pixel 8 Pro, then sort of forgot about it, then started using it again last summer.
I fell in love with Video Boost again when I used it to catch a few videos during concerts. But for all that I’ve enjoyed about it, I’m just as annoyed by all of its limitations and slowness. I’d love to use Video Boost more on my Pixel 10 Pro XL, but it’s clear that Google is gatekeeping the feature and stopping it from reaching its full potential.
