I found these ants outside my house and I was wondering is anyone would be able to help me figure out what species they are. I'll be posting two pictures and a video after this post.

I'd like to think Paratrechina longicornis.

Oh, I wouldn't know how to get their measurements. I'm only used to inches and they are a lot smaller than an inch lol

Give your best estimate ;) I'd like it in millimeters, of which 25 are in an inch.
