Great effort!

Assuming the video creator is here, here's a quick tip to make the video even better: zoom in and crop.

Currently you seem to be showing the entire app window. Try only showing the feature you are highlighting. This makes the video better for small devices and on computer screens when the viewer hasn't gone full-screen.

Except the viewer is loosing context. I'd go the opposite direction and show the entire screen. (Of course shrink your screen size to be just right.) If you want, maybe zoom in later once you have given context. I don't know otherwise if this runs in the browser or if it is a standalone app.
I'm pretty sure you are both talking about the same thing. The used phrase "zoom in and crop" implies starting with context, zooming in, and showing the close-up feature. Otherwise s/he could have just said "crop".
