I've been Playing Golf for: 6 months

My current handicap index or average score is: N/A but itd probably be insanely high
My typical ball flight is: Slice for driver and push right for irons
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Slicing my driver

I finally managed to get a decent recording of my drive. This is my second time to ever play in an actual golf course so I still have no idea what my handicap is but I'm sure it's way up there. In terms of my shots, I've made some improvements with my irons and lessened the number of times that I push right. However, throughout the last 18 holes, not one of my drives went straight. I sliced all of them and rarely ever hit the fairway. I've read and watched a lot to try to identify what's wrong but figured it'd be a lot more helpful if I could get your opinions on it. Would really enjoy the game more if I could hit straight. I don't even care about the distance for now. 

Thank you!

Note: I'm already intentionally aiming left to compensate but it still wasn't enough to hit the fairway. 

I'm not sure if the ball path is clear unless you watch it in slow motion so here is a rough idea:

Look at how you finish: on your back foot. You fall backward because nothing ever goes forward.

Your hands really move away from your body early in the swing.  That is nothing but trouble !

See how far your right hand is from your right thigh ?  If anything a good takeway your hands get closer to your body on the takeaway !
