position frame-by-frame.
So when your path integral formulation predicts various
probabilities for position of photon absorptions by the video
camera nothing has changed when positions are actualized in the
recording. All the same probabilities obtain. Which is the MWI view.

In the cases of *Quantum Measure Theory* (Rafael Sorkin), *Real Path
Quantum Theory* (Adrain Kent), or -- in another type of formulation --
*Cellular Automaton Interpretation* [of Quantum Mechanics] (Gerard 't
Hooft), I don't see what "change" means in your terms.
Those methods assign probabilities (measures) to specific possible
outcomes (measurements). When one is observed, it is used as an initial
condition for further predictions. If it's not observed then further
predictions are conditioned on all the possible outcomes. That's a change.
