You differentiated the exponential function wrongly. For exponential function like e^ax, where a is a constant, the differential is a*e^ax.

He probably missed that the first chain is e^4x - 4. From his workings, I realise that the first chain that he attempted is the '4x - 4' (which he also wrote wrongly, since the -4 is not part of the power).

The first "chain" is (e^4x minus 4), so we must differentiate this chain as part of the chain rule.
The '-4' is not part of the power of e. Somehow your -4 'escalated quickly' into the power.
The second chain is '4x' while differentiating the e^4x in the first chain. We must also differentiate this second chain '4x' as part of the chain rule.
In effect, the chain rule is applied twice in a row here.
