During the second half of the video, his venerable has mentioned that someone who has recite sutra for 8 long years and has the "Kung Fu" to liberate preta or ghost. I think what he meant in layman term is that in order for any sutra or mantra to have any effects, one will need to familiarize he/herself with the particular sutra and mantra and let the teaching of the buddha take root in their mind.
During funeral ritual, family members usually invite the memebers of the sangha to recite sutra and mantra. Whether the deceased can be liberated depend greatly on whether the deceased can generate virtuous thought after listening to the sutra and mantra. And if virtuous thought is generated then positive karma seeded in the past will be activated and then the ritual will be of use, if not the ritual has little effects.
