The video was sourced and edited from onboard 16mm NASA public domain footage shot during the mission by the astronauts themselves.
Of course, Hollywood music composer John Barry's 1979 stellar score from the James Bond movie 'Moonraker' was the natural choice to accompany the video:)

Earth is the first bright round spot that shows up before the Milky Way is seen. The Moon was too close to Earth to be resolved. The background star near Earth is Spica. Mercury is seen in transit across the Milky Way core. Venus is the very bright spot at the end. Jupiter is also seen just before Mercury appears while Saturn is in the background after Mercury's transit. The stripes are cosmic rays hitting the camera sensor. By the time Parker Solar Probe imaged Venus it was traveling at 95km/s (~213,000mph).

The movie is a reconstruction of the 2 hours between 2019-11-03T21:35:00.000 and 2019-11-03T23:35:00.000. It is based on 31 of the JunoCam images taken, and on spacecraft trajectory data provided via SPICE kernel files. Like for previous flybys, Juno approached Jupiter roughly from north, and left Jupiter looking towards the southern hemisphere. Closest approach to Jupiter was 3,501 km above the nominal IAU 1-bar level, and near 22.4 degrees north (planetocentric), according to long-term planning of November 2017.
