I usually don't waste time commenting in Youtube, but I am going to try to explain what am I doing here. It is much easier to do it in person, with a sword in hand, but anyway...

You first need to understand what you see here, this position in 00:10 is firstly a position turned to the right, so you need to look at it from another angle to fully understand what I am doing here. I hope you understand this.

From the video, you are looking at this transitioning position from the back, so your view is flawed from the beginning.

If you look at it from the right place you will see something very similar to this (left fighter):

So, here we have this foot and leg position, maybe my position is a bit lower, but anyway, the same concept and the same reasons to do it.

Reasons: If you are full into longsword, and have the required understanding, you will know if you have the right foot forward, your right side of the body, and right shoulder will be forward too. So if you need to put the left side of your body forward but you have the right foot forward, you need to put your left foot forward...or you need to turn your body, but you will have a hard time doing it if you doesn't let your legs turn in accordance.

So here we have Meyer doing this turning of the foot and leg to let them have his right body side forward while maintaining his left foot forward. This is exactly what I am doing here.

You can see this too in Mair here (left fighter):
