Quick summary for those who don't watch the whole video.

1. Always make sure your ESC endpoints are correctly configured to match your flight controller's throttle endpoints. The easiest way to do this is to run throttle calibration using the Motors tab in CleanFlight.

2. Once you have calibrated your ESC endpoints, disable "Programming by TX" in BLHeli to prevent noise on the signal line from ever accidentally mis-calibrating your ESCs (e.g. if you are working on your copter and power up the ESCs with the flight controller disconnected).
