I never know how to cut the meat. I clearly see the direction of the meat but it’s always the width of the meat, not length. So cutting again the grain means I’m cutting long slices and not many because it’s always longer rather than wider. Does this make sense?

yes. You still need to cut against the grain even if it's means longer, fewer slices. Just slice the really long slices into thirds.

Look at the direction of the grains/veins on the outside of the meat. Make sure to cut opposite. When the first slice has been cut, check to see that there are little round circles of meat with fat around them, instead the slice looking like long strings of meat in the direction of the cut (this way will give you very dry meat).

Do you see the little circles/triangles of meat in each slice in the picture of the slices that were cut against the grain? It's like little pockets of meat.

The length of slices, whether they are long and thin or round, all has to do with the type of roast they cooked (which part of the animal).
I don't slice them in half like that video showed. I'd rather full slices even if they are very long.
