Yes, I love at about 8:43 the tent is folded up and a second later (the video has jumped forward) all the air has miraculously disappeared from the tent, so that it can fit in the bag.
Don't get me wrong, I have a Monty 6 and I like it, but it is about time they provided a decent sized bag that it could fit in, when it has been packed away.
This magic trick where the tent mysteriously loses all of the air from about 8:42 to 8:44 is just a joke.
Unless you're willing to roll around on the Monty like children, you will never get it back in the bag. Every time I've had to take it home loose in the boot and then sort it out when I get back.
TBH Road Hog, I've never come across a tent that fits back in the bag properly after the first use. Just one of the facts of life in camping im afraid.

Our Vango Columbia 600 comes with a wheeled 2 part case and you'd probably even get your bedding into the inner tent half of it. Don't have a problem getting the flysheet into its half, but the inner tent part could have been a bit smaller and flysheet half slightly bigger - but as we air the tents at home we generally leave the flysheet half of the case undone a bit so the tent can air until we get home.
Our other tent bags are all compression bags with space, with the Kampa bag the roomiest. We could fit the small canopy or tarp (or both) in that one along with the tent.
I'm surprised that Outwell haven't made the Montana bag bigger given the comments on the forum over the years about it...
We have a Montana 6, and yes, on first attempt to get it back in bag, I had to unroll it 5 times and only just fitted with zips not done up properly. However, once I watched the you tube videos of how to pack it, I drew a diagram of how to do it and now we get it perfect everytime and also fit the footprint and mallet in the bag!!! : )
Is this the link?
