With due respect, you have joined our forum to ask a question, have been given correct opinion and are now rejecting that, rather bluntly.

The video is clearly a hand held shot of the Sun behind slow moving cloud and the whole image is moving around because the camera is not being held steady. It does look like some form of stabilisation is in use due to the slow ‘swimming’ type motion rather than lots of jiggles. The view is then jumping between various zoom levels so that at times you see the Sun appearing to move more rapidly but it is just a more highly magnified view of the clouds moving past the Sun.

I don’t see the Moon anywhere, but I do see a ghost image of the partially eclipsed Sun moving around at one point. Actually the person filming is not being very sensible as they are likely looking at the Sun and it is not totally eclipse so I hope they are wearing eclipse glasses.

"I don’t see the Moon anywhere" that's incorrect. Look at 1:16. You can clearly see the eclipse starting to pass through the clouds. Sorry no one here has given any explanation at all. I know clouds move. That does not explain why it started out slow moving then suddenly rapidly moved later in the video.

Have you even read the video description, it states fast moving sun. It's easy to edit videos to do this to speed up and slow down footage. The point about the OS lens is that the operator is moving to keep the lens centred in the footage, hence you see clouds moving different to how you'd see them if standing still so as per the added comments previously. You can barely see the sun in the image anyway as it's obscured by clouds which will overexpose the shape of the sun.

No he's not. Look at the point at where the eclipse turns into a full sun about 1:16. It has nothing to do with the photographers movement. The movement of the round bright spot has zero to do with editing.

You do realise the footage is likely being filmed handheld with an optically stabilised lens, you can tell from the motion of the footage, the person keeps adjusting the zoom in and out too.

That has zero to do with the motion of what appears to be a slow moving sun suddenly followed by a rapidly moving one. There must be millions of videos of this monumental event that were taken with the same type of device as is here and those videos don't resemble this one. So your "like optically stabilized lens zooming in and out" theory is totally without merit.

The clouds are moving, not the sun 🙂 

Ummm so why is it moving much more slowly then suddenly rapidly? Clouds don't move like that and more importantly no other video capturing the same event is similar to this one.

I must have watched 100's of videos on the recent solar eclipse but only this one shows the sun and moon move very quickly midway through this video. Why is this? Would appreciate any insight. Thanks.
