Everything in the scene except the player looks blurry when the camera is moving | Unity2D

Question

I started off my game using a simple camera follow script which only followed my player on the x axis with an offset and and some restrictions

I recorded a video on my android to show what I mean. In the recording the issue is a bit exaggerated ( due to recording) and only viewable once the spikes enter the view. When not recording, the player animation is perfectly smooth. Here's the video

using UnityEngine;

 public class MainCamera : MonoBehaviour {

     public Transform target;
     public float xOffset, xPosRestrictionMin, xPosRestrictionMax;

     private float yPos, zPos;

     void Start ()
     {
         yPos = transform.position.y;
         zPos = transform.position.z;
     }

     void LateUpdate ()
     {
         transform.position = new Vector3(Mathf.Clamp(target.position.x + xOffset, xPosRestrictionMin, xPosRestrictionMax), yPos, zPos);
     }
 }

However when first running the game everything looked "jittery". Despite all my player physics being inside fixed update, input inside update and camera updates being inside lateupdate. I tried setting interpolate to extrapolate on the players rigidbody2d. Now the player would look and animate smoothly but everything else look blurry when the camera is moving. I thought that maybe my script or settings were at fault so I tried to turn off vsync, set target frame rate to 60 and when nothing worked I downloaded Cinemachine. Even with cinemachine instead of my own script it still looks blurry and I can't figure out why. Here's a simplified version of my controls.

 private void Update()
 {
     //Handle touch input
     if (Input.touchCount > 0)
     {

         foreach (Touch touch in Input.touches)
         {
             switch (touch.phase)
             {
                 // Touchdown
                 case TouchPhase.Began:
                     if (onGround || !doubleJumped)
                     {
                         jump = true;
                         touchReleased = false;

                         if (onGround)
                             anim.SetBool("jump", true);
                     }
                     break;

                 //Touch up
                 case TouchPhase.Ended:
                     allowGlide = false;
                     anim.SetBool("glide", false);
                     if (rb.velocity.y > 0)
                         touchReleased = true;
                     break;
             }

         }
     }
 }


 void FixedUpdate()
 {
     rb.velocity = new Vector2(newMoveSpeed, rb.velocity.y);

     onGround = Physics2D.OverlapCircle(groundCheck.position, groundCheckRadius, whatIsGround);
     if (onGround && !jump)
     {
         gliding = false;
         allowGlide = false;
         anim.SetBool("glide", false);
         anim.SetBool("jump", false);
         doubleJumped = false;
     }

     //Slowly Accelerate if not at top speed and touching the ground
     if (newMoveSpeed < moveSpeed && onGround)
         newMoveSpeed += 0.0165f;
     anim.speed = Mathf.Clamp(newMoveSpeed, 13, 18);

     //Jumping 
     if (jump && onGround)
     {
         jump = false;
         rb.velocity = new Vector2(rb.velocity.x, jumpHeight);
     }
     else if (jump && !doubleJumped && !onGround)
     {
         jump = false;
         doubleJumped = true;
         allowGlide = true;
         rb.velocity = new Vector2(rb.velocity.x, jumpHeight);
     }

     //Add multiplier if falling down
     if (rb.velocity.y < 0 && allowGlide)
     {
         anim.SetBool("glide", true);
         if (!gliding)
         {
             rb.velocity -= Vector2.up * Physics2D.gravity.y;
             gliding = true;
         }
         else
         {
             rb.velocity += Vector2.up * Physics2D.gravity.y * (glideMultiplier - 1) * Time.deltaTime;
         }
     }
     else if (rb.velocity.y < 0)
     {
         rb.velocity += Vector2.up * Physics2D.gravity.y * (fallMultiplier - 1) * Time.deltaTime;
     }

     //Increase fall multiplier if touch is released mid jump
     else if (rb.velocity.y > 0 && touchReleased)
     {
         rb.velocity += Vector2.up * Physics2D.gravity.y * (lowJumpMultiplier - 1) * Time.deltaTime;
     }
     else if (rb.velocity.y == 0)
     {
         return;
     }
 }

Thanks, any help or feedback is appreciated!

Have you checked the frame rate of your game running on device? I have a film/animation background (but new to Unity) and it looks to me like you have a frame rate issue. Although, if the recording software changed the graphics at all I'm not sure I am seeing the same thing you are. Why does your recording software do that? Have you tried using Rec? It works great for me.

Sorry for not posting this as a comment - my current rep won't allow me to.
