I disagree. You can't look at your feet while you drive. The relationship of your feet to the pedals is not visual and you can't reproduce what you are seeing on the video when you are sitting in the car and can't see your feet. You drive by feel. You have to learn by feel.
Just some guy on the Internet. Heed with care.

I can look at something and repeat the motions without watching myself. As, Im sure, most other people can as well. It might not be perfect, but its a start. Add written details to that and a complete learning tool can be created. Never forget that people dont all learn the same way you do. I know I would have done better at first with a footbox video as a guide to how fast to clutch in or out, for example.
