Update:
Just got off the phone with my video partner expert (and critic who tells me straight based on working in the video publishing field) and he said he loved the rock theme much more than the first sound track.
He thought the rock theme was almost perfect and it was uplifting and so it helped lift up the viewer because the message was not uplifting (threats, cybersecurity); so in a nutshell... it's always like this in life .... right a paper, create a video, write a song, some people will love it, others not some much.
I remember when I published my first IEEE paper a long time ago (nearly 3 decades ago). There were 5 reviewers in a double-blind review. The first review came back and he hated my paper. "Definitely do not publish" he said. I was crushed.
My editor at IEEE said "do not think too much or fret over a single review, wait for them all".... I had no idea what was coming...
The second review came back a few weeks later ... "MUST PUBLISH... this is one of the most refreshing papers I have read in years. Must Publish!"......
At that point in my life, decades ago, I began to learn a lesson that has never been forgotten in my life; and I have learned this lesson countless times over and over the years.
In life when we do things; write papers, code, songs, videos, ... whatever we create, we will get a different opinion from everyone who reviews it. Some will hate it, some will love it, some could not "care less"; but at the end of the day, listen to each reviewer and commenter without emotion or strong feelings either way, and then we decide what to do based on our instincts, as the creator.
That IEEE paper above went on to be nominated for the IEEE Network "Paper of the Year" but it did not win. That's a long way from "DO NOT PUBLISH THIS TRASH" by one reviewer to being nominated for the "Paper of the Year" by IEEE.
In the case of this cybersecurity threats 2019 video;
This is life. This should be a lesson to all who read this post.
Listen to everyone's ideas and opinions, but at the "end of the day", after listening to your friends, advisors, critics and others, do what your instincts tell you, the creator, to do.
It is impossible to please everyone, so "in the end" you must please yourself.
Everyone's opinions counts and is worthy of consideration and respect; but "in the end", do what you think is best in your heart.
For me, that video is "done" and I'm going to create a new one soon, but I plan to slow down the intervals when there is a lot of text to read
In the case of this video "cybersecurity threats 2019" the consensus seems to be that adding 2-3 seconds to each of the five message segments would have added only 15 seconds to the video length and it would have been a bit better; but there is no reason to re-render this one. Learn and go on to the next one.

In the case of this cybersecurity threats 2019 video;
- Wise wrote "NO ROCK background music"... which was his valid and good opinion, and I respect and appreciate it.
- My video partner commented "Loved the rock theme much better, it was much better than the first sound track by far. Uplifting for a serious message."
- A friend of mine commented the same, he loved the rock theme, he just wished I gave him more time to read each segment. (I joked with him to hit "pause", LOL)

Xv(3X) Xv(3X) Name Xv - X Window System video extension Description The Xv extension provides support for video adaptors attached to an X display. It takes the approach that a display may have one or more video adaptors, each of which has one or more ports through which independent video streams pass. An adaptor may be able to display video in a drawable, capture video from a drawable, or both. It translates between video encoding (NTSC, PAL, SECAM, etc...) and drawable format (depth and visual-id pair). An adaptor may support multiple video encodings and/or multiple draw- able formats. Clients use Xv(3X) to gain access and manage sharing of a display's video resources. Typically, a client will use XvQueryExtension(3X) to determine the status of the extension, XvQueryAdaptors(3X) to get a description of what video adaptors exist, and XvQueryEncodings(3X) to get a description of what video encodings an adaptor supports. Once a client has determined what video resources are available, it is free to put video into a drawable or get video from a drawable, according the capabilities supported. Clients can select to receive events when video activity changes in a drawable and when port attributes have changed. Summary of Library Functions The following is a summary of Xv library functions: XvGetPortAttribute(3X) - return current port attribute value XvGetStill(3X) - capture a single frame of video from a drawable XvGetVideo(3X) - capture video from a drawable XvGrabPort(3X) - lock port for exclusive use by client XvPortNotify(3X) - event generated when port attributes change XvPutStill(3X) - write a single frame of video to a drawable XvPutVideo(3X) - write video into a drawable XvQueryAdaptors(3X) - return adaptor information for a screen XvQueryBestSize(3X) - determine the optimum drawable region size XvQueryEncodings(3X) - return list of encodings for an adaptor XvQueryExtension(3X) - return version and revision of extension XvSelectPortNotify(3X) - enable or disable XvPortNotify events XvSelectVideoNotify(3X) - enable or disable XvVideoNotify events XvSetPortAttribute(3X) - set an attribute for a port XvStopVideo(3X) - stop active video XvUngrabPort(3X) - release a grabbed port XvVideoNotify(3X) - event generated for video processing Each of these functions is described in its own Xv man page.
