The actual video is really just a tiny clip with music- shorter than the ad following it. Come on JAP- You can do better.
If you bend the cookware and see white, a filler has been used. This is usually true of very cheap silicone bakeware. In those cases, make sure to use the silicone at relatively low temperatures since the fillers may melt and off-gas. If you purchase silicone bakeware with a maximum temperature given that is less than 428F, it is likely to contain plastic fillers.
Don't use a silicone pan for something that calls for an ungreased pan and needs friction to rise, e.g. angel food cake or other light sponge, meringue cookies, etc.
Here are some useful sites on the matter:

As I mentioned before, some cakes actually need friction to rise correctly, especially sponges. Do not use silicone for these.
Parchment paper is coated with silicon. It is heat resistant and good for baking. Use parchment paper anytime you don't want something you cook in the oven to stick to the pan. Use silicone sheets as you would parchment paper.
Do not use waxed paper, parchment paper, or a silicon mat on the top of the stove. They will melt and/or burn.
There are some baked goods, e.g. sponges, that require friction on the walls of the pan to rise.
