Do you have a Haynes manual? You really should. It describes how to troubleshoot as well as how to replace parts. Otherwise, you can get decent instructions from the AutoZone website. For example, the AutoZone site describes
How to Reset the Fuel Delivery Inertia Switch. It would be good to confirm that the inertia switch is back in the default position before we do any real troubleshooting.
Watching your video, I wonder: when you turn your key to ACC, do you hear the fuel pump pressurizing the fuel system? If not, either your pump or a connection to it is dead. Let's have a look in the Haynes manual for other ideas:

You should be able to cross out several of those fairly quickly. Once you have the car starting, you can follow the AutoZone procedure for troubleshooting the fuel system, if needed:

This is accomplished using a mechanic's stethoscope, or a long screwdriver. Place the end of the stethoscope or the screwdriver (tip end, not handle) onto the body of the injector. Place the ear pieces of the stethoscope in your ears, or if using a screwdriver, place your ear on top of the handle. An audible clicking noise should be heard; this is the solenoid operating. If the injector makes this noise, the injector driver circuit and computer are operating as designed. Continue testing all the injectors this way.
If all the injectors are clicking, but you have determined that the fuel system is the cause of your driveability problem, continue diagnostics. Make sure that you have checked fuel pump pressure as outlined earlier in this section. An easy way to determine a weak or unproductive cylinder is a cylinder drop test. This is accomplished by removing one spark plug wire at a time, and seeing which cylinder causes the least difference in the idle. The one that causes the least change is the weak cylinder.
If the injectors were all clicking and the ignition system is functioning properly, remove the injector of the suspect cylinder and bench test it. This is accomplished by checking for a spray pattern from the injector itself. Install a fuel supply line to the injector (or rail if the injector is left attached to the rail) and momentarily apply 12 volts DC and a ground to the injector itself; a visible fuel spray should appear. If no spray is achieved, replace the injector and check the running condition of the engine.
