I cannot alter the video, I do not have the $ or technical knowledge for that. It is intended for a wide lay audience. I intend to place quizzes after (or other suggested options) to check on the key contents the e-learner may have acquired.
What can I do with my limited technical knowledge to make it look cool, fun and use it as a lesson?
You have a 4-minute video that you could turn into a 5 minute part 1 and a 5 minute part 2 by taking David's advice and including opportunities for reflection or knowledge checks. For interest, I would also vary the zoom level of the speaker - sometimes far away and other times a closer crop, particularly when he is making a strong point. I would also fade away entirely and/or reduce the size of the speaker (think picture-in-picture) at times to help explain important or complex material using visual animations. These can be very simple but the timing is important so that they serve to reinforce what the speaker is saying.
The images below are from a project that had one person on video talking about a disaster. At times you could see him talking and at other times you could hear him only with animations building on-screen as he spoke. These visuals really help people to pay attention to what the person his talking about - making it far more interesting and leading to better comprehension. You can see more examples on my website at http://stephanieharnett.ca.

If you trim (chop up) the video to create pauses at certain points you could add quiz slides in between each section of video.
