Thanks for this, I can totally see that I don’t extend fully in my hip and legs. Will work on that moving forward.
This is also causing you to pull the bar into your hips, rather than your hips extending to the bar - resulting in the non-vertical bar path someone else mentioned in another comment.
Hard to tell in this video due to angle, but it looks like the bar is traveling away from your body after contact with the hips. You want to pull straight up, leading with the elbows. As a few others have said, you’re also not reaching full extension in the hips.
Let the extension of your hips lift your feet off the ground. Don’t lift your feet off the ground unless your aggressive extension does it for you. Then land in your squat position and stabilize the weight as you float down in the squat.
This is great advice. I definitely don’t focus enough on the hip extension.
This is the blind leading the blind

Looking for critique / feedback to help improve my my technique. Snatch is still a new movement to me, so any tips here would be helpful - thanks!
I think you are so focused on pulling your knees up to get under that you aren’t fully extending your knees, at least as a start. If you were in my gym I would have you do some snatch pull drills. Do the snatch up to and including the shoulder pull but don’t bend the elbows. Really practice that full extension of the hips and knees. Do 5 or so of those then do a snatch.

Start from a high hang and work on pushing through your feet longer. It doesn’t look like you reach full extension (knees are still bent the whole lift). You just have to be more patient. I think if you learn from the high hang you can feel how much longer you need to push with your legs. You can also do snatch pulls to work on leg drive/timing.
