X-Wind Landing Techniques

I'm seeking some advice on cross-wind landing techniques.
The following video is a series of 4 clips taken from Boeing, probably to test X-wing handling capabilities of the 777 and 747SP.

1. In the first clip (777), would you agree that the pilot was a little late in applying right rudder to align the aircraft down the runway centreline? (BTW, I'm not being critical of the pilot .... for all I know, Boeing may have been testing the tolerances of the main landing gear to such conditions)


2. Would you agree that the third clip (777) in the series is the correct crab technique with correct application of right rudder and left aileron into the wind on touch down?


TIA.
