It won't go perfectly, but people will be aware and prepared for the mechanic, and their learning of the content will be naturally expediated. When someone says "I'm new, but I've watched the video." I know they might not instantly dodge. Hell, my very first Twister, I took the hit and learned it that way. But I knew what to expect, I knew how to move, and once I saw and understood it, I was ready for it on the second try and easily cleared it. Same with divebombs - I wasn't in position fast enough and took a hit by myself. Second time and thereafter, I've always been ready.

But without the video, I wonder how much longer it would've taken me to get used to it, to be prepared for it, to know it was coming and how to move. I think that's what people are trying to cut out - that amount of 'build up' so they can get to the clear faster.
