Set up--ball is very far forward in your stance. This promotes a fade. The position your ball is at for your driver, almost impossible to hit a draw. Try setting up with the ball off your left instep. Backswing--lots of movement off the ball with your upper and lower body. Try to keep your weight inside your rear foot instep during the backswing. Rear knee collapses at the top of the backswing. I noticed the knee brace. Keeping your rear knee straighter will limit the weight shift back and enable you to get more forward with your hips at impact. Forward swing--get your hips more forward, so that your hips and front shoulder are ahead of the ball.

Your ball position may need tweaking, but your camera angle is bit misleading. You seem to be trying to "load up" on your back leg, but it's at the expense of a hip turn (~45 degrees) and a full shoulder turn. I'm obviously not an instructor, but you seem to have a lot of excess horizontal and vertical motion, yet you're still producing a lot of power. A more efficient move would be phenomenal.

I think you might be bringing the club back too far as well.  I am just a beginner so take what I say with a grain of salt but that's what my instructor has been working on with me.

if you place a pencil tip on your head at address and watch the slo mo version...you are all over...now I DONT believe your head can be still but it can stay in the same region.....as your head moves your body moves ...keep your spine angle straight, swing around the spine and you may see improvement.
