But shouldn't it be the prosecution proving the video is real?

Yes, but only if the judge who gets the case believes in silly things like "Federal Rules of Evidence."

I'm not sure they have to bother. The video could be fake, and they still committed the crime. People certainly use AI and other tools to "enhance" video.

The article mentions evidence placing them at the scene of the crime, wearing a matching outfit, and they can probably find witnesses.

Umm, no? In a criminal trial, a defendant cannot just claim an alibi like: "I was in another country", without showing some form of documentation like airplane tickets, credit card charges to hotels or restaurants, etc.

They have to prove the case to the jury "beyond reasonable doubt". The jury are at liberty to decide that they don't believe an unsupported claim by the defence, and that the evidence provided by the prosecution is sufficient. As judges sometimes say at the start of a case, the standard is beyond reasonable doubt, not beyond all possibility of being wrong.
