I think it is an unintended artifact of digital image stabilization, performed in post-production to reduce the shakiness of the image, apparently taken with a handheld camera. To stabilize the image, the individual frames need to be shifted, which means some border pixels have to be sacrificed. In case of an extreme excursion, there is a choice: allow a bad image shake to remain, sacrifice an extreme number of border pixels in the adjacent frames, or shift without such sacrifice, but then fill in the missing pixels. In this case the software used the third option, but instead of using some combination of interpolating and extrapolating, it used black pixels as fillers. I expect that the digital image stabilization community has names for the most common approaches to this issue, but I don't know what they are. --Lambiam 14:55, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
