Spoiler activity.

Don't know anything about Airbus, but it would seem to me that this is simply roll augmentation as a result of roll input by the pilot. If a large or rapid roll correction is needed the spoilers on the down-going wing will lift to reduce the lift on that wing. In the video the the spoilers first lift as the aircraft banks right.
