Videos can be used as a source for an appearance.

Videos can be imported into the Video Pool.

Video pool

The video pool holds the imported videos but can also have streaming video sources using the NDI format.

The video objects can be used as an image source in Appearances. Learn more about appearances in the Appearances section.

The video will then play back in a loop everywhere the appearance is used.

The overall size of the media pools is limited to a maximum of 200 MB.

The difference is that ImageSource needs to change to "Videos" in the title bar of the Select Image pop-up.
