Well it's either Call of Duty Vanguard: PowerPoint Edition, or they are diving into sub-Xbox 360 resolutions.
That said, the reconstruction is decent.

No clue about the resolutions at this time, but here are some rather lengthy fps-counted gameplay segments from all the Xbox consoles. This game has some performance issues on Xbox.
Pretty sure that's Digital Foundry's fault for raving about CRTs all the time. Widescreen SDTV for the win!
The Series performance is disappointing, for sure. Xbox One, sort of what I expected. But those reflections and alpha effects look real rough on One S.

Maybe a more relevant video. Not 100% like-for-like, but close. Something is really choking the Xbox version of this game.
300x zoom. Woops.
Those more or less random 58-59fps drops seem to be I/O related on XSX. I noticed them in plenty of recent Xbox Series games (while PS5 hasn't got them or much less prevalent). For instance in Metro Exodus.
I have seen both small random I/O drops and some bigger drops (mid 50s) when the screen is full of alpha effects on XSX. About those I think this is a game engine that could be more suited to the higher pixel performance of PS5. But those loadings on PS5 are atrocious. 10s to load a save? That's like 5 times slower than most games optimized for PS5 I/O. It's clearly still a PS4 / XB1 cross-gen game.
EDIT: There are bigger I/O drops too near the end. And those cutscenes at 24fps are atrocious. 24hz on a 60hz TV is a very bad idea. Ugh.
we've seen similar behaviour in the past. I/O drops are unlikely to be the case on a cross gen title. Control had similar dips like this and was soft patched to resolve it.
I largely suspect it will be resolved at a later time.
I believe MS patched the Xbox OS (or virtual machine?) to fix Control drops. The game (according to DF) wasn't actually patched. AFAIK it's an exception and none others games have being patched like this. But whatever the reason of Control drops, it was different than many others games, including this one, having this issue.
OS patch or not, they aren't I/O drops because come on man, how would a game that runs fine on pcs with regular ssds and last gen consoles suddenly drop 10ms for I/O?
Even if the xsx's I/O were worse than the ps4s, insufficient IO would probably result in blurry textures streaming in rather than stuttering.

I wouldn’t know, just that I think the likelihood it’s I/O seems very small. There’s no indication here read speeds are the issue.

I don't know about playstation consoles, but all Xbox consoles support 24hz output. And I believe most TVs sold in America have 24hz support. If those cutscenes are being output as a video file, then it would look perfectly fine on Xbox consoles (assuming your TV supports 24hz).
Lol, this is too funny. The comparison with the 3090 was certainly not needed.

These kind of shutters also exist on some BC games. I noticed them in Killing Floor 2 and the recent Doom I and Doom II ports. You can't even turn without a massive frame-time spike. They ran fine on my old Xbox One X.
I reported these issues to Microsoft but haven't heard back from them (don't know if they even answer to bug reports from ordinary people.)

Only if the output and TV are switched to 24 Hz for the duration of the cutscene. Likely the output is at 60 Hz, the TV is syncing in 60 Hz mode, and the TV/video has to use a 3:2 pulldown.
One has to wonder where all the processing power is going.
