Nice camerawork!
Do what Max501 says.
If you look closely at your video, you will note that your legs are extending through transition. This makes it difficult to tip the skis. You will also note the tails are displacing more than the tips, ie skidding.
I'm sure you feel that your skiing has improved fantastically with 'your' implementation of the essentials. Even getting an essential 10% correct is so much better than the movements that most people do when skiing.
The reality however is different to your perception. We've all been there. Video doesn't lie. The trick is changing our perception to match this reality.
If you pass the checklists one by one in the order presented in the book, your mind will learn what the correct movements "feel" like. There are no short cuts, however you look like a confident tidy skier with good balance and there is no reason you can't work through this quite quickly.
I hope you choose to take Max501's advice and post some nice pmts turns very soon.
