My butt moving early and the flexing I am getting in my lower back

Maxeh. Firstly you MUST rest the weight on the floor between each rep, reset then lift. Watch the video in the OP again.

Watch the op video again for the ques, reset each rep and come back with another video. Then we can take it from there 
Yes, there is too much movement in your lumbar.
It won't kill you, but it isn't optimal.

Don't jerk it at the start like that
Also look at how high your hips rise before the weight has even moved much.
Also you should be lifting from a dead stop.

Ta, I assume working on my core strength and being mindful of keeping everything tight is going to be the best course of action to fix this, along with some goblet squats and front squats?

Really nice advice im going to try this on back day
Your camera man managed to hide your lower back when he shifted around to the side, but I'm pretty sure it's tucking under at the bottom of the rep. Your knees are also coming in relative to your feet.

Yes, knees out and lumbar control are the obvious problems. They are somewhat related, but coaching the finer points of this is a little tricky over the internet.
You need to be generating a lot more stiffness with your core.
These are relevant, despite being primarily about deadlifting.

You need to learn how to hip hinge effectively, which means to move around your hips with your spine neutral and completely locked down. This involves lats, glute med., and core. You should feel like you're sitting onto your hamstrings and glutes, rather than folding over to make depth.
Could you show me a video of you doing RDLs as described in the OP? These are fairly awesome for exposing and correcting these faults. A guy I'm working with has used these a lot and now has pretty sexy technique when before I had to cover my eyes watching him

Just wanted to check if my deadlift form has improved and I'm not going to snap my **** up. I dropped the weight and worked my way back up and I'm now at the same weight I was doing.
Sorry for the poor video I'll try and get a better one soon.
Before, I wasn't happy with the way my upper back rounds at the start

Those look better. Really try to hump the bar and explode through at the top.
