1. What are you doing before you do the clean? It looks like you are having some sort of spasm. I will advise on that when I know what you are trying to do.

3. Keep the bar close to your body,

Squat - You squat is decent, it looks like you just need to do a ton more reps. Pull your elbows forward and get your back a lot tighter. Aside from that it is really a style thing. Make sure you squat using different foot spacings. You will find a stance that is most comfertable. (if you haven't already)

Front Squat - Keep you elbows up higher, especially at the bottom. Just do a million more reps and you will have a good feel for it.

Deadlift - this is not bad either. Your hips rise up before the bar moves much on a couple of reps. I do not see a problem with the lockout. Keep your head in line with your body. (that is true for all lifts)

Overall you need to do these exercises for tons and tons of reps. That will get you the practice you need to really get a feel for them.

Where do you live at? There has to be somewhere you can go to get some live help from a coach of some sort. Specifically on the clean, you need the most help there and the best bet is going to be find a coach in your area.

Hope this helped.

Power Clean-feet jumping a bit more out and back than I'd like to see. At times the bar comes out too far in front of you. Your hang shrugs seem a bit too forced; you seem to be jerking the entire body instead of really shrugging and driving with the hips.

Squat-I can't see any real inheriant flaws. I will say that something bothers me about the way your knees lock out, but I can't put my finger on it. I would suspect that if you picked up a heavier weight, more apparent flaws would surface.

Deadlift-I wouldn't count you as really locking out. I'd put the hips a bit lower from the start.

...I'd like to see your form on some heavy triple or 5 rep weight.

Yeah, with the front squats I have trouble keeping that bar high... especially when I am squatting down and near the bottom. It seems to want to fall down. I am not sure how to fix that. I guess just try to stay more upright?

Yes Eric Cressey is correct.
