The video is interesting, but the analysis seems flawed; the crowd is seen starting to move away from the stage area several seconds before the alleged muzzle flashes, and since light travels faster than sound, it would be reasonable to presume the flashes would be seen before the gun sounds arrived; also, the weapons used, from the published accounts, appear to have had flash suppressors. The absence of any further "flashes" from the indicated area in the video is also telling...
The local radio news station here in LA aired an eyewitness interview the night of the shooting with another musician who was at the scene in the VIP area and he was asked about and commented on the reports of muzzle flashes from the area indicated; according to him, he had noted a sort of 'strobe' light of some kind visible from the location on nights previous to the shooting and posited the 'strobe' may have been mistaken by some as muzzle flashes; he also said he and others were not able to see any other flashes that would have indicate active shooting...
All this would seem to indicate the video, while interesting, is not definitive...
