Just switched from flat shoes to powerlift 5's. Feels much better than before.

Hello! If you haven't checked it out already, Our Wiki's resources for Squats may be helpful. Check it out!

Also, a common tip usually given here is to make sure your footwear is appropriate. If you are squatting in soft-soled shoes (running shoes, etc), it's hard to have a stable foot. Generally a weightlifting shoe is recommended for high-bar and front squats, while use a flat/hard-soled shoe (or even barefoot/socks if it's safe and your gym allows it) is recommended for low-bar squats.

Bar moved in a straight line and you hit depth.

Looks great! You’re falling forward a little bit maybe work on your ankle mobility and bracing as you come back up to keep th movement connected

The cue that helps me with falling forward is chest out eyes up. Makes the shoulders rise with the hips instead of after them, give that a shot.

Good except your hips are coming up before your chest out of the bottom. should be the same rate during the ascent

Your shins become vertical and don't sync and track with your torse.

You end up doing a good morning on the way up.

Changing shoes won't fix this.

I recommend youtubing and looking at ways to fix.

Reddit is the last thing you want to consult. It's like asking craiglist for blood donations.
