While I agree you can't quite tell from the angle, I would add that the OP also has his game memory, and it seems as if he remembers enough to add to the video and determine the player traveled.

I also disagree about the advantage. The offensive player used this (assumed) travel to get his feet under him to get his shot off more quickly. A dribble would have slowed him down slightly, and his shot would have been more awkward without moving that pivot foot. That's advantage enough, IMO; especially since a travel is still a travel even without an advantage.
