You pushing or pulling the puddle? And are you using a steady motion (looks steady to me with a nervous tick), or stop and go? Always practice on a piece of scrap before you weld your parts. Before you weld. Get yourself in a comfortable position. Hands supported. If not. It will show in your welds.
Basically you nailed it, I got nervous. I was going slow then I started moving fast and then slowed down again. I didn't work with the puddle. My pace was messed up.

I was pulling toward me.
