Video play was fine.

• [ x] Learning outcomes/objectives are clear.

• [ x] Technical concepts introduced in the content are accurate.

• • [ x] The speed of demonstrations is easy to follow. (Speed was fine; I had to rewatch a second time to understand the concept more fully - most likely due to my inexperience.)
• • [ x] The narration audio matches what is shown visually. (At :20 sec - you spoke "Actions allow you to perform some action at a specific point during the execution..." Your screen states, "Actions...allow you to perform specific action at a specific point during the execution..." Slight difference: does it change things? Probably not. )
• • [ x] Spelling and grammar are correct.

• [ x] Sound quality is consistent throughout the video.

• [ x] [Brand Usage Guidelines] and [Promotional Guidelines] are being followed.

• [ x] Media assets are all in the public domain [CC0].

Agree with @JunebackpocketACE’s comment about the some vs. specific. Otherwise, all good :-)

Thank you @JunebackpocketACE and @ironnysh for the reviews.

That was probably an error in my slides, I will get this updated before publishing.
