I think he was referring to filling it off the field actually
The difference being?

in terms of filling from a bag, use a pot instead!!, pour paint into pot, then dump in2 loader !!!

and the trimming thing, aint ll that necessary, fill, then tip back, then fil, then tip back, do it in little bit by bit stages.
Paint into pot, dump into loader, fill, tip back, fill, tip back, bit by bit in stages is how I interpreted it. By contrast: paint into pot, open lid, dump into loader.

Aight, kids, a brief FAQ. (In case you missed it SYB thread the following will provide a fuller and pleasanter user experience.:) )

1) If the fingers on your Speed Feed are initially a bit stiff so that paint doesn't easily enter your hopper the fingers may be bent down flush with teh inner wall then pulled out and bent back around the back wall to soften up the point where the fingers attach to the Speed Feed. Once slightly softened they will work fine.
I have now heard twice of peeps either trimming or thinking of trimming the finger length. It is not recommended. Please don't as it isn't necessary.

2) When loading paint do not press lip of pod into Speed Feed fingers as you will not be "helping" it work, you will be inhibiting it's normal function. Think of hopper as open and unrestricted then simply dump paint as you normally would and it's good to go.

3) Pre-game loading should be done as is in-game loading, quickly and efficiently. Easiest thing to do is cup front of Speed Feed with free hand and dump paint from pod into hopper.
If you're using an open bag of paint just snap Speed Feed off. Check out PBStar demo video or-- grip with fingers to left or right of tab and place heel of thumb on back wall and pinch together. It will pop right off. Fill hopper then snap back on. (If you cup open paint bag and pour it will still fill hopper thru Speed Feed but it can be a bit awkward.)
