Welcome to the forum.  Thanks for posting a video.  Below is a screen shot of your swing at impact (on left) and and A6 (shaft parallel to the ground on the downswing).  Your swing is a bit out to in as is shown in the shot on the right.  The club head is outside the hands.  This probably causes your slice because the face of your club will be pointed farther right than the club head path at impact. This is something many of us have had and corrected.

The left shot shows you at impact.  I've circled you right foot, showing it is still on the ground.  It is hard to tell without a face on view, but this may indicate that your weight is not forward enough at impact.  Not getting your weight forward can cause the out to in swing.  I recommend looking at the videos in the 5 Simple Keys video thread, below.  The second thread explain the 5 Simple Keys.

Key 2, weight forward at impact, is one I would focus on first.  There are several videos with drills to work on that.

You're not doing a whole lot wrong, you just have a massive move 'over the top' on your downswing. Your backswing path looks good, so try to match it on the downswing. Just really try to exaggerate the feeling of swinging in to out. Focus on hitting the inside of the ball (the side of the ball nearest your right foot). Should help straighten on your path. At first you'll hit some massive blocks and pushes right, but your hands will soon adjust to the new swing path to correct it.

Another thing is your legs straighten a little on the backswing, bend down on the downswing and then straighten again after impact.

Try and keep your knee flex a little more constant to promote more consistent strike.

Thanks for the feedback. I will work on what you guys have suggested. I have made a massive improvement just in the last week or so. My slice was 10 times worse when I first started, I'm making progress.
