*MEDIA declares the question type; *VIDEO provides the filename of the video to display. Both keywords are required together on the *QUESTION line.

Not to be confused with type 6 (Image) which uses *IMAGE *PICT for still images, or type 49 (Info/Display) which is for text-based display items.

Place the video question immediately before the question that asks about it, so the respondent watches the stimulus before answering.

The video file must be uploaded to the project media library before the script is published. The filename in *VIDEO must match exactly (case-sensitive).
