It actually looks really good... you seem to have better hip extension right now. Why didn't you dunk it in the last attempt?

It really scares me when I see you squat a ton without safety pins.

You're crazy... there's no need to replicate and overload jumping mechanics in the gym. The gym is for building muscle. You can overload the jumping by doing depth jumps (if anything, do side depth jumps like I'm doing, where you drop off to the side and there's a 1-2 (LR or RL) plant sequence. Or you could use a powerjumper. Or you could use a weight vest. Or you could use more speed in an actual jump etc.
You're dangerously playing with recruitment as well (maybe training for a bad recruitment pattern) if you try to replicate the jumping moevment (or any dynamic movement) in the gym too much.

What did you do in terms of core strengthening?

You probably learned how to maintain the pelvic posture and don't allow IT to collapse.

Yeah but... remember, the core, if you associate that with the abs, is actually doing hip flexion. So it can't be the core. At best it's the glutes that can't stop the hip flexion from happening eccentrically (can't oppose by firing to hip extend and stop the hip flexion from occuring).
To me... a "running 2-leg jump" is actually me walking towards a spot where I can do a SVJ. So... it "makes sense" to bend forward as in a SVJ. I personally don't "have" a so called "running 2 leg jump". Granted, I haven't trained it too much.

You definitely hold your breath when you jump, it's one of the reason people make those silly faces when they jump - intraabdominal pressure.
If you were NOT to do that, your pelvis would just rotate around in all kinds of crazy ways. That's why you need the core strength to prevent that from happening. Not only that, but you wouldn't be able to EXPRESS the strength in your other muscles. The amount of core tension signals the CNS to fire (or to not fire) stronger signals to the skeletal muscles.
This is also a matter of positioning (read through Becoming a supple leopard for that).
