One month in, and the Google Pixel 8 Pro’s Video Boost feature is still generating buzz. This cloud-powered processing promises brighter highlights, deeper shadows, sharper details, and improved stabilization in your videos, but it also has some limitations. So, Pixel 8 Pro users, how has your experience with Video Boost been so far?
For the uninitiated, Video Boost leverages Google’s cloud smarts to enhance your video recordings after you capture them. Think of it as a superhero editor working its magic behind the scenes. With it, you can say goodbye to washed-out highlights and crushed shadows and enjoy the full range of tones in your footage. The feature also promises sharper details with crisp edges and clearer textures, improved stabilization for smoother and more cinematic footage, as well as clearer and more vibrant videos in low-light conditions.
But wait, there are some catches as well. For instance, Video Boost works with limited resolution and frame rate, and your videos get uploaded to Google’s servers for processing, which means you need a good internet connection. Furthermore, the cloud processing takes ages even for relatively short videos, but perhaps the worst of them all is that Video Boost only works on the Pixel 8 Pro, meaning Pixel 8 users miss out.
As Pixel 8 Pro users continue to explore the capabilities of Video Boost, their feedback becomes invaluable in shaping the future of this feature. By sharing your experiences and insights, you contribute to the ongoing conversation about the Pixel 8 Pro’s video recording capabilities, and the process helps Google refine and enhance Video Boost in future updates.
That said, we want to hear about your experience with Video Boost on your Pixel 8 Pro over the just-concluded Christmas and New Year festive season, assuming that you had plenty of time to put it to the ultimate test.
