0:21 GCD - Global Cooldown
0:47 OGCDs and Weaving
1:30 Reasons to Weave Properly
2:09 Timing and Clipping

Due to the change to Inner Release, the specific example in the timing section will not apply in Endwalker. However, the concept of making full use of any duration-based buff still applies (Ex. Fight or Flight, No Mercy, etc). Inner Release was one of the skills that would actually cancel and cut your off attack as the buff fell off if you mis-timed your OGCD, making it a very distinct visual tell if the timing was incorrect.

This isn't every tip that could be included -- Just what I found the most important that's used on a regular basis in battle content.

Though certain specific examples will not apply due to the skill changes in Endwalker, all the concepts in the video are applicable in the new expansion.
