*There are many ways that a three-way switch can be wired, but usually power or the light fixture connect to the load side of the switch and traveler wires run between traveler screws on both switches.
*In this case, the traveler wire and load wire were swapped and repairing the circuit involved switching them back.
There are several more videos on the site covering three-way circuits.
