That does sound like a lot of footage, but you wouldn't watch every second just as you likely haven't read every word of every scientific paper you've skimmed or referenced. The footage is there to support inquiries into how you did your experiment, just as you would skim a youtube video about repairing an appliance to get to the part you need to see. And yeah, it would have to be a new level of prestige backing this way of documenting your methods. Obviously people prefer being trusted, but p-hacking and replication problems have proven that we can't have nice things.
