Stack Exchange talks about several online lectures on the subject that you could check out:

From the top post there:

MIT video lectures part 1
There are 5 videos covering complex numbers, functions, conformal mappings, sequence and series, and integration. The speaker is professor Herbert Gross.

There is also the Khan Academy's basic complex analysis videos

I just found out that Bernd Schroder from Louisiana Tech has videos on Complex Analysis based off of Churchill and Brown's text.

A short search of Youtube videos left me surprised at how hard it was to find one I liked. I couldn't find one there to recommend. The MIT series you referenced looks very good. The Kahn Academy series looks slower-paced, but it might be better for an introduction. Your link to Bernd Schroder's lectures seems to be broken.

Yeah, I discovered that too. I didn't notice until after I had posted here that they indeed were downloaded.
