Ok, you don't need a video. All you need to do is pick a mid clarion note, let's say top of the staff "G." Now let your embouchure and oral cavity work together (LOOSEN) so that you can play a few notes below that without adding any fingers. From there just "slide" back up. That is essentially a glissando. From there all you do is continue the slide by making sure your fingers are ahead a few notes (usually once you start the slide you can even take the fingers out of the equation (play "open").

Starting the slide as low as possible in the clarion is a bit of a trick. I "nudge" the left pinky "C#" key while fingering the third line "B." Once you have the "feel," getting the "slide" started is all you need.
