You definitely need to learn the color scheme, as you built centers in the wrong order. Your lookahead during edge pairing was really bad, so you need to work on edge pairing, too.
What I saw immediately was just how many unnecessary U/U'/U2 moves you were doing. If you're ever not able to find a piece, just stop turning and look around the cube until you find it, then once you find it, don't just do random moves, make sure you know exactly how you're going to solve it.
You need to learn the colour scheme so well that it becomes muscle memory, and you never need to think twice about the order of First 3 Edges, as well as centers.
You also need to practice being much more efficient, since there were so many areas where you couldn't find the piece you wanted to find, so you just did random moves until something happened. CsTimer includes presets that let you train the individual steps of Yau, so I strongly recommend practising each of them. The two main ones are from the start of the solve until you finish centers, as well as edge pairing.
Jperm has a great playlist for 4x4 improvement, which I would also recommend you check out, since it goes over each step and how to improve it, as well as general tips for certain time barriers. I would also recommend watching many example solves from high-level cubers, since they'll show you unique tricks you wouldn't otherwise know.
You should also learn better fingertricks, since you were doing some pretty bad fingertricks.

Thank you for the advise but I should've cleared this up, I wasn't trying to do that good all U was trying to do was show you if I got the right steps of the method
Hello, yeah by the title of this thread you might think I am joking or this is cheesy but YES, I will be trying to be atleast top 3 in the world. Because:
1. I'm dedicated
2. I have already been cubing for 3 to 4 years
3. I'm still young (12)
4. I'm already decent I would say
So to start I just learned the Yau method with 323 on the 4x4 and want to see how well I'm doing or if I am doing something wrong. Please give me helpful advise.
And I will be posting about once a day or every couple days giving you guys updates.
Well, yeah kind of, I am just trying to get world class at any cube but 4x4 might be what I'm going to be best at but probably 3x3 because I'm way better at 3x3 than 4x4 right now. But right now I'm just trying to get better at 4x4 (and 3x3 still) because that'll still help my cubing progression in general if you know what i mean.
