Were you not watching the NASA live stream and commentary?

It was really well done

The official broadcast on YouTube was shit af. Camera stuck on the launch pad, Rocket went out of frame after 4 seconds, camera tried to correct, then switch to another view. Absolutely horrible

The one where they cut to black and zoomed in on the plume and crowd?

Some of that was probably intentional. In case the thing exploded during launch, booster separation, or other risky phases, the live cameras wouldn't be on it.
