Keep the string tight and start turning the tuner until it locks the string in place and begins to tension the string, then tighten till it's in tune.
You want as little of the string as possible around the post, never a full turn, so there's no point having the string going in sideways as that video seemed to show, as you've lost almost 1/4 of a turn of the post and you're more likely to have a complete turn+ around the post when up to tune.
