The first video tells you to tie a soft knot. I don’t do that and I’ve never had a problem. I would only recommend that you do that if you are going to put an edging on the project to cover the knot. Otherwise, just make sure you weave it in tightly (but not so tight it puckers your work). Go up one row and down another if there are two rows of the same color. Also remember to leave long ends (about 6 inches) to weave in. It will be easier and you can always trim them sorter after they are mostly weaved.
Here’s another video as well.

I used to weave my ends in using my crochet hook but at AC Moore, they have a needle which is about 6 inches long with a very large eye that I use to weave them in. Using this needle keeps me from really disturbing the stitches within the blanket etc.
You just thread your needle through your stitches, thread your yarn and pull through.
