0:00 - this skip takes place in Chapter 13-4. After killing all enemies, you're supposed to press a button to open up doors outside. Activate future data after pressing the button.
0:08 - Max can move during this time, but there's a chance the turret outside will kill Max if you do anything too rash. I find the skip has the best success if you do nothing while waiting for the combined cutscene to resolve.
0:18 - you know the combined cutscene is over as Max rises from the cover and you see the auto-save symbol appear. As a side effect, Max will be completely invulnerable until the end of this Checkpoint. So, aside skipping a short cutscene and a turret cycle, you are also able to run past the next batch of enemies without bothering to fight them at all.
Overall timesave is hard to measure, but it could be as high as 40 seconds?
