15MAX Cinematic mode corrupt

I have been experiencing corrupt recordings under cinematic mode on the 15 Pro Max 256. Has anyone else experienced this? It wasn’t anything long either just recordings less than 30 seconds at 4k24.

iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 17

I have a brand new iphone 15pro max and I'm having this exact issue on clips at 24fps.

1TB SSD on mine. I couldn't get the phone to record a clip in cinematic mode at 4k 24fps without the end result being choppy/glitchy... then ultimately, corrupt and unable to playback.

No rhyme or reason as to why. I have some clips that are fine.

When trying to recreate the issue, I realized that I would have to close the camera app and reopen. Then, recording will work for the first clip. BUT, once I cut, then record a 2nd clip, everything after that is corrupt.

Right now, I can only record one clip before having to close the app and reopen to roll again.

Would love some answers from Apple. asap.
