I'm not sure if this is correct. I've never gone from port arms to present arms. Usually, you can only go from order arms to present arms. Another big help with moving faster is the ditty, "one, tick, tick, two" You do your entire movement on the one, then don't move on the tick tick, then once you say "two" you move your right hand to the small portion of the buttstock for port arms for example. It's worth mentioning, it is probably a lot easier with an M16A4 than the rifle in the video.
What branch did you serve in ? I learned rifle drills with the M14 , USMC, you can go from port , to order, to present, you can go how ever it's command .
American military drill originates from a manual written from Baron von Steuben, a Prussian military officer. He really helped instill discipline into the Continental Army’s ranks.

you're likely njrotc or mcjrotc . the army , air force , and space force go from port to present . the navy , marine corps , and coast guard do not .
Present arms is actually close to this but the weapon should be 6 inches from your body
Fist length is approximately 6”. That’s why he said fist length.
The movements should be crisp, and each defined, but you do not slam the rifle when order arms is called.
Hide the thumbs.
