This video is only 15 seconds long... Shavings on the trans drain plug magnets. The gear oil that came out of it didn't have any shavings that I could tell. My question is how much is a lot? Do I have anything to worry about given the metal collected on the drain plug? Thank you!

Normal. Nothing to worry about.

When you start seeing chunks, parts with defined shapes to them, you can see machine marks in spots and wear marks in other spots. That is when there is a problem.
