The second video describes exactly this. It doesn't matter whether you are using R or Stata or an y other software - the principles are the same. The sample size increases or reduces as the weights adjust the sample from the distribution of the sample as collected to the distribution of the actual population, and this means that the weighted numbers of cases in an area may be greater or smaller than the unweighted number of cases for that area.
