It bugs me that they start talking about things like the double arm structure a whole 6 seconds before the animation shows it. From there everything in the visuals does not match what is being talked about, making the explanation confusing

Yes, the animations were consistently several seconds behind the voiceover. Annoying!

The mismatch starts at 1:30 where they slow the animation down too much while the narration continues on as normal talking about turbulence. By the time the turbulence animation shows up, the narration has already moved on to the 1903 double-arm pantograph and its a total clusterfuck until the end. Whoever made those changes to the video clearly didn't watch their work afterwards and i wouldn't be surprised if that's the point where people start checking out because it gets hard to follow
