    It looks pretty good to me. Looks a little lighter too. Here are two things I suggest based on what I see . . .

    You can easily see the length of the strop and where the string ties to the strop. Use that knowledge and compensate for the speed of your stroke at the end. It looks like your sweeping into the tie down without consideration for where it is. You can see where it is, you've got to flip up in that region. If your strop were longer you'd be able to learn to "downshift" a little before you get to the turn around. Its like making a car go around a turn. You don't go in full speed and then slam on the brakes.

    In the first video, more than the second, your using too much pressure at the top, again near the tie down. The physics are difficult to explain but the tie down is a fixed spot so ANY pressure at that spot rolls the edge. In the middle you can do whatever you want but the tie down requires a slow, no pressure, light, danty, delicate, soft, roll; followed by a soft landing, then the return trip, and pick up speed again, until the next turn by your fingers.

    Hope that helps . . . your stropping well. Since you went to the trouble to post that great vid I thought I'd critique you very strictly.
