What is the accepted NCAA definition of "a complete stop?"  Is it purely directional or is it a moment of stillness?  In NFHS, I would say it is stillness since they specifically say "a change of direction is not considered an acceptable stop."

His hands were not in motion for a brief moment, but there was the "chittering" (opening a closing) with the glove.  Curious, because I have noticed more pitchers doing this lately, either with the glove or with their hand in the glove.  There is not a point of motionlessness.

Although close, I personally had a stop here, and I don't consider the corner of the glove flapping as "movement" of F1 that could contribute to a balk call.

I had a kid in high school the other week that was just "shaky" for lack of a better description... he was clearly pausing, but had an inherent shake in his arms/glove (picture a symptom of being very nervous). It was less movement than on this video, but the entire glove/arms, and it carried on throughout until start of delivery. I hope others aren't calling things like that a balk.

Additionally, if F1 is moving his hand around inside the glove gripping for a curve (F1 completely set, glove is stopped, but obviously wiggling with the motion of his hand turning in the glove, do people call that a balk? Cause I definitely don't.
