You need to go to the video enhancements and flip the video unless you really are spiderman.

Ok.I posted it there. I just figured since its part of ss you guys might have some good insight.

Hip drive is alright. You could work on being more explosive (though I think it might have been because the weight was light for you). Try to drive your elbows up faster, they are lagging behind when you are catching the bar.

Try to imagine the Olympic lifts like doing a standing vertical leap (just with the bar in your hands). You can try jumping as high as you can and will notice that you will have great form for the clean and the snatch. You should start on your heals, drive your hips up and forward, keep your chest up, and finish fully extended through the balls of your feet.
