This is what I understand to be a "drop-step", and in the video, both feet are off the floor (jump), and then the left foot returns to the floor before the ball is released on a try, thus a travel call. This move, to be legal, must have the non-pivot foot in contact with the floor, before the pivot foot is lifted. Admittedly, it is sometimes missed, due to the speed of the move.
Are you saying the move at 1:27-1:49 is a travel? First off, in real time, I would have said she landed simultaneously on both feet after gathering the ball in the air. Slowed down, the player's right foot lands first, then the left foot, thus establishing the right foot as the pivot foot. She then steps with her left foot, picks up the pivot foot, and releases the ball before the pivot foot returns to the floor. Thus a legal move.

What's the confusion here?
