Great video mate. Just a tip for anyone like me who struggles with knots like these (even though the video perfectly illustrates how to do them!). I like to use zip ties to form the beads. I tighten them enough around the cord snug enough so they move up and down freely with just enough pressure. I then cut the excess zip tie close to the ratchet part. However, in saying this, it is probably more useful to have extra lengths of paracord for emergency use than little bits of zip tie, so this method is very useful! Much love from Australia!
In stead of pulling the Hank through or cutting first, I've found it easy enough to leave the Hank at the start (standing end) and tie with the running end. Picture available upon request.
I noticed you didn't seal the end. Was that done for a reason? I'm having issues sealing the ends and having the paracord bunch up. I'll end up cutting the ends off and revealing them.

....why does everyone working with parachord have a blue bic?
ooooooo I have never been the 1st view b4. hehe
Not to be too critical but you're four beads go at the top and your nine go at the bottom that's why we were taught in the Marine Corps to make them
