I'm not really that great at oly lifting. I do powercleans and hang cleans though.
You already pointed out the most obvious thing which is your hip extension into the lift. It looks like you're losing a good amount of power from that. Also, like you said, you should be more upright at the beginning of the lift. It's not a deadlift.
It's hard to tell how much you're using your shoulders, but it was explained to me that you're essentially doing a shrug to explode the bar up. You don't want to be using your arms too much.
I'd get away from jumping, just extend up to your toes. Personal preference.
If you're doing cleans, you should only be doing singles or doubles. Also, typically when you do a form check you do a heavier weight that forces your form to breakdown. It's hard to see when you're easily repping 135.
Forgot to say, but good job getting your elbows underneath the bar. I think thats a problem some people have.
