When did you take the video? If this week, those eggs are no where near going in to lockdown. When ready for lockdown, the egg should be mostly dark and filled with chick.

It looks like a healthy egg, albeit one that's been incubated 5-7 days. No where near ready for lockdown.

I also set some eggs on Oct. 8th. They go into lockdown on Oct.26th and due to hatch on Oct. 29th. Here is my hatch calendar.

lockdown for you would be on the 26th (wensday)...that would have made the egg 9 days old. you dont go into lockdown till day 18 of incubation and temp should be around 99-100 with humidity bumbed up to 65 at least for lockdown

heres the hatch calender i made on paint
