Both ha and sa can be used either for inhalation or exhalation. Both are correct. For pranayama during mantra japa, please read this article https://www.manblunder.com/articlesview/aligning-breath-with-mantra  You can use Rudraksha mala for doing japa of hamsa mantra.

I will move to separating the malas. Thanks Krishnaji. I doubt the mala makers are so organized to influence & create a practice like this :)

Dear Raviji, I have found in my research two versions of the HAMSA mantra, sometimes advising to exhale HA and inhale SA, and sometimes the other way around, how can we be sure which one is the correct? I have heard also that some people do Pranayama while chanting the mantra, do you know about this? And finally, can I use my Rudraksha Mala to chant the HAMSA mantra? Appreciate, Namaskar Joao Fernandes

It is ॐ नमो नारायणाय॥ om namo nārāyaṇāya || This is the most important  mūla mantra of Lord  Viṣṇu

Yes, this is a mistake and thank you for pointing out the same. It is difficult to correct the video now. Let me explore the options. I regret for the mistake.

It is a suggested practice that I have followed. I have not seen scriptural edicts for or against the practice. I used to wear a separate mala few years ago and don't do so now. I always keep my japa mala in a separate bag and use it only during my sadhana. In some of the mantra articles, we have mentioned the energizing mantra for the japa mala also, before the actual mantra recitation. In your case, you can continue to wear the mala that you are wearing and use a new one for japa, if you wish to follow the general ssuggestion. One can easily argue that someone may have created this procedure to sell more malas etc. It is best to follow your guru's advice when in doubt.

The reversal procedure is mentioned in Mantra Mahodadhi and suggested for Ari or enemic mantras. Even enemic mantras can give favorable results if the proper procedures described in the fructification of mantras article, are followed.

Raviji - Dhyana Shloka in the Youtube video link you posted above is misread. Kārmukarujā is mispronounced as Kāmrukarujā. FYI

Also on wearing Japa Mala, I ve heard suggestions both ways. Though most people suggest NOT to wear the mala used in japa anushtanam but i also heard some gurus who suggest wearing the japa mala which gets energized during japa anushtan. Based on such suggestions, i have been wearing my rudraksha japa mala for 16 years now and I have been using & wearing the same japa mala in various anushtans of different deities(male and female). Do you suggest to stop wearing it and buy two fresh malas one for wearing & one for japa? Are there any scriptural references for such injunction or is it a suggested practice? thanks.
