All three are travels. The only one that is hard to see with the given video angle is the post move.

#1. Ball caught with right foot down and left foot up. The left foot immediately comes down making the right foot the pivot. The right foot is lifted and moved to a new spot. Not a big travel, but a travel.

#2. Ball is caught with his right foot on the floor in the top lane space. He steps forward with his left foot making the right the pivot. The right is the lifted and he steps forward again on the right (the travel) before spinning back to the left.

#3. Ball caught in the air and landed right-left-right. Travel. The landing was close to being simultaneous but it wasn't.

I can see #1 and #3 not being called frequently and I may very well have several of those in my games that go uncalled but that doesn't mean they were not travels, just that they were missed.

I'm pitching my tent in this camp... I've got travel in all three. I may not catch them in my games but in this video analysis, yep. I'm working real hard on my travel call accuracy and like the direction I'm going. Find the pivot, find the pivot, find the pivot. In my mind I say "Gather, pivot..."

First one travel.

2nd can't tell as hard to see when control of the ball is gained but the angle on the video no travel.

3rd travel. Easier to see in slow mo then real time but its the right call.
