I feel pretty confident that these are mastered but I'd just like a second opinion. I dropped back to these due to a minor flare-up in my shoulder (almost impingement) due to being overzealous with my handstand mobility work. In any case, let me know.
A side shot would be much greater for any feedback. You look confident doing those, though. You can place your hands a little bit wider and maybe external arm rotation would also be benefitial in my opinion. 
German arm swings look good to me.
needs more external rotation
What needs more external rotation? The pushups? Or the swings?

External rotation of the shoulders&elbows in Push ups
Oh I see that now. That's easily fixed. My concern on these was more with the im. I'll repost next week having put more emphasis on external rotation in the pushups.
Just make sure to record the PE from the side 
Your iM is actually pretty good my friend- Maybe try doing it more smoothly if it doesn't make any discomfort to your shoulder.
Yeah, I did thiese in a Smith machine so filming it was tricky, I'll find somewhere else in the gym. The rotation of the arm won't really hold me back. I was doing these at knee and shin height for a while just to stimulate the pec (until I got better at the -im). So having the bar at hip height isn't tough. I'll repost next week with more cinematographic acuity, lol.
Any thoughts?
It's really hard for me to check your form with your shirt on..Anyway, here's what I think you can fix:
-More protraction at the top and PAUSE for one second.
-Touch the elbows to the body/Bring them even closer to the body
-From this angle it seems you pike your hips. Remember to begin the movement from the hips-Only afterwards comes the chest. Sucking the abs and squeezing them down might help too, along with the PPT.
