All three of these processes are mechanisms by which moist air masses are uplifted and chilled, with the chilling process triggering condensation and precipitation.
Convectional Lifting - Thermal Convection provides the uplift, explained near the beginning of the video. (Note the textbook typo.)

Orographic Lifting - Interaction between moist air masses and mountains provides the uplift on the Windward side. The Rain Shadow Effect is explained beginning at approximately 5:19 in the video. (Recall that the Rain Shadow Effect is the primary "cause" of the four North American Deserts.)
Cyclonic Lifting - Interaction between dry Cold Air Masses and moist Warm Air Masses is explained at approximately 6:37 in the video.
Other considerations - heat moves towards cool areas
