According to #3972 (comment)

Fixed bug -> When the video wasn't fully loaded but its image was visible, both the video and the poster were simultaneously visible

Was this a bug or a feature? We were using this as a feature for vimeo videos where the poster is the first frame of the video. It was seemless before this fix. Now it's a poster then a frame of black then the video plays

Let us release next version, and I will double check this issue.

can confirm this we have a black screen flicker in 6.7.0 too, RN 75.4, not on new arch

I reverted to 6.3.0 (the last version we used before updating) and the flicker is gone
