often a lot of writing on the screen prematurely, may be slightly better to write lines sequentially as they become relevant

I am not sure if a video is the best medium to explain this topic.

nice and compact overview
(the sound is vevy weak)

You shouldn't just put a bunch of equations up - viewers are unable to find which parts to focus in a video medium.
Another point to deduct is the lack of novelty in the explanations.

The motivation was very effective and brought me right back to my first calc class!
At times, the pacing felt a bit too fast for me to follow. It would have been nice to add text onto the screen incrementally as you explained the formulas.
I am still left wondering: how can derivatives explain limits? It feels compelling that we could potentially learn topics like linear algebra or differential equations right off the bat, but is our foundation solid enough without understanding limits?

I think this was very well done, the examples were explained thoroughly and well.
I am going to be biased to well animated/produced videos. However, with just the standard PPT style I think everything was at the very least adequate.
Only suggestion would be to perhaps emphasize the specific thing you are talking about on screen.
