I have not seen a request for an introductory video but I have done a video interview before. It took about an hour and if I remember correctly it was 6 questions. The question would come up on the screen and you would have 3 minutes to read it and think about the answer. Once ready you would hit the record button and provide your answer in a 10 minute video. If you screwed up the answer you could restart your recording once.
I found that it was a really akward way of doing an interview and if a job I was applying for asked me to do another one I would probably reject the offer.
