Yep, either that or the video is not good anyhow. Or you may even have
the color_map setup wrong(?). Is it in the form of:

 color_map {
  [0 color rgb<1,0,0>]
  [.3 color rgb<1,1,0>]
  [.6 color rgb<0,1,1>]
  [1 color rgb<0,0,1>]
 }

? Or perhaps:

 color_map {
  [0,.3 color rgb<1,0,0> color rgb<1,1,0>]
  [.3,.6 color rgb<1,1,0> color rgb<0,1,1>]
  [.6,1 color rgb<0,1,1> color rgb<0,0,1>]
 }

And if wrapping it:

 color_map {
  [0,.1 color rgb<0,0,1> color rgb<1,0,0>] //begins blue
  [.1,.3 color rgb<1,0,0> color rgb<1,1,0>]
  [.3,.6 color rgb<1,1,0> color rgb<0,1,1>]
  [.6,1 color rgb<0,1,1> color rgb<0,0,1>] //ends blue
 }
