Thanks @WavedirectTel for raising.
I have now implemented better video alignment, copying that of images, via PR #4727 although the implementation works around complications from the editor, so the fix was tricker than hoped and may be somewhat brittle, but it will be part of the next feature release so I'll therefore close this off.
