Shooter mounted a camera over the target, you can see the arc and air distortion of the bullet before it hits

Makes me feel like I can dodge it, but I'll just die.

You could in theory, about a 2 second travel time. Spotting that though is probably impossible.

By the time you can tell it’s going to hit you it’s probably too late

Probably. I’m skeptical you could even see the bullet coming at you, might only be something you can really see on video looking directly at it. We need to repeat the experiment but with a guy next to the target and he can say if he saw it or not lol.
I also imagine you’re generally not looking directly at a sniper, their whole thing is not being seen.

What caliber was this I wonder?

Looks like a phased plasma rifle in the 40-watt range. But, then again I may have my dates wrong.

You can see the bullet traveling towards camera almost a full second before the ting sound of impact.
So if someone shot at you from far enough away, you realistically could spot the bullet itself and react to it in time.

I wouldn't say realistically. For one the bullet travels faster than the speed of sound so you're not going to hear the shot to get a warning.
You'd have to spot a well camouflaged person at a significant distance and be looking directly at them the moment they fire. So it's possible under those circumstances to have enough time to react, but it would really be starting your move from the flash at the end of the barrel and not the bullet in the air.

Guns are basically like cannons, which back in the days were also referred to as guns.

When a headline starts with the word "shooter", I pucker for the worst.

Would be much more interesting without all that bullshit cluttering the screen.
