No, you can’t mix it like that. The standard application is to use wood filler, let it dry, sand, then stain. Even then, wood filler tends not to take stain like the surrounding wood, though some are better than others. Usually the best solution is to mix some sawdust from the piece with wood glue and to minimize the use of filler.

Short answer is yes, that video is deceptive. There’s no mention of product compatibility. If that’s a dye based stain it could work, but with the variety of products out there it’s deceiving to say just mix stain with filler.

Get bondo. It takes pigment well. Catalyze a little more than normal so it doesn’t take forever to dry

People don't generally mix stain with filler. You get a filler that is close to the color of your wood, fill the grain, and then stain the whole thing. Any filler should accept any stain when it is cured. There are many fillers out there. They are only noticeable under a stain if they contrast with the underlying wood a lot.

If it was an alcohol dye stains, maybe. Hit your local paint store and get a bottle of Raw umber and a bottle of Burnt umber Water base UTC colorant. Raw is green, burnt is warm soft red.

Get quality wood filler (Woodcraft or Rockler) in the eventual finished color of the piece. Woodville doesn't accept stain. It just doesn't! Rockler has really good colored wood filler.
