"James, studied in the US, showed videos of drifters roaming" is correct only when it means "James, who was studied in the US (by some other person or people), showed videos of drifters roaming".
If James studied in the US, then you must say or write: "James, who studied in the US, showed videos of drifters roaming". It is not possible to omit the word "who" from this sentence. Possible ways to re-write your sentence so that it is correct include: "James, (who was) born in Paris and who studied in the US, showed videos of drifters roaming." ("Who was" before "born" is optional. "Who" before "studied" is required.) Alternatively, you could replace "studied" with "was educated". In this case, your sentence could be any of the following with no change in meaning: -James, who was born in Paris and who was educated in the US, showed..." -James, who was born in Paris and educated in the US, showed..." -James, born in Paris and educated in the US, showed..."
