Exactly, I came here to say just that. At the 0:44 sec mark, the orbit appears to be extremely high up, and that view lasts a few seconds, then jumps back to what appears to be a low orbit altitude. You cannot reconcile these two views unless they were taken from two very different orbits and spliced together.
I agree. The first images show a low orbit with a forever horizon of an enormous earth that is completely flat with no curvature seen. The short section starting at 0:44 sec mark is much, much farther away from earth with a curved edge that doesn't work. The curve doesn't work because if you note the size of the continents visible below, the curved earth as shown isn't big enough to fit them all.
