I wish more people would make a simple, hand-drawn picture for posting. The video, and live drawing/ narration is great.
The $2.99 Bic four-color pen would help some other posts (aside: along with paragraphs instead of a jumble). Yours was clear enough, to me.
The auto-generated Closed Captioning worked out great. I was having a bit of trouble making out some of the narration. My wood stove fan is making noise near me, so that's part of it.

I often feel that a floaing lowering point is un-needed. I generally opt for two lowering lines, one in each tree, or one as a butt tie to the spar I'm working on.
This works to but then you need to run 2 portis
Another option is to snub off one end run the line across to a block or ring to a tree on the other side and down to a porti. Then one sling to tip tie and attach midline, cut it off and the weight should pull the centre down in the middle. Can be harder to aim but KISS!
1 rope, 1 porti, 2 slings. Done.

Typically when we do it west coast two person crew style the butt hitched side is ran by the climber by stub or a trunk wrap. Doing this you really want the piece to swing away from the climber, and the butt hitch is more of a control line than a lowering line.
