Any relevant fault codes? Do you have a scanner? My guess is it's losing a crank position signal.

In your video the coolant temp is cold. You said that it doesn't happen during cold starts? When you have no fault codes, you should start logging live data, especially when the problem comes back. Check coolant temp, MAF, MAP, fuel pressure readings. Might be fuel pump locking up.
