Description
When testing on an emulator and any device really, the screen flashes when we record video. I understand it is due to the repeating animation but it is not natural behaviour and looks like a bug along with taking up system resources to show the animation during an intensive task such as recording video.
I suggest there to be a flash at the start and end of recording video and no repeating animation.
Device model: sdk_gphone_x86_arm
Build number: sdk_gphone_x86_arm-userdebug 11 RSR1.201013.001 6903271 dev-keys
It's not an error so not attaching any logs.

Research direction
Start by locating the Camera2Video sample and trace how its recording animation is triggered. The issue describes the desired result: a flash at the start and end of recording, with no repeating animation; verify the behavior on an emulator or device.
