Default Front Squat questions

I did front squats for the first time in a while so I thought I would video tape them to check my form. I noticed a couple of things one of them was my form was better with the arms crossed method. Second on the elbows up method my elbows seem to almost look like they were buckling in if that makes any sence. . Does anybody know what might cause this? I could just be my hand postion or something simple but I am not quite sure. Another thing is my feet point straight ahead starting out the movement but when I get right above parell the turn outwards from then on till the end of the set. What might cause this and is it really something I need to worry about? It also seems like on my last set it looks like I was favoring my left side because the barbell was a little lopsided to the right. Video taping my workout relly opened my eyes to somethings that I never would have noticed since I work out alone in my basement. I recommend everybody do it once in a while to check form and machanics on lifts. On anthoner note my pullups looked pretty good!

Post the video. Chances are you'll get a better critique.

I lost the cord that plugs in the pc when I moved houses. Sorry can't post it.

It would be hard to tell without seeing them.

Are your knees caving in, forcing your feet to point outward?

No my toes just naturally turn out like I am doing a sumo squat . My knees stay straight throughout.
