# Creating Video Mods

<p class="callout warning">Video modding is currently not supported by the [Eternal Mod Injector](https://gamebanana.com/tools/7475).  
Make sure to backup your video files before editing them.</p>

### Extracting Tools:

**The RAD Video Tools by Epic Games Tools - [Download](http://www.radgametools.com/bnkdown.htm)**

### **Finding a Video to Replace:**

Every video file can be found at **base\\video** in the **DOOMEternal** installation directory. Each video uses the **.bk2** format. The only way to view **.bk2** files is to open them in RAD Video Tools.

- Right click on the video you want to play ( ex: **base\\video\\tutorial\_core\_loop\_summary.bk2** )
- Hover over **Open with** and click **RAD Video Tools**.
- A separate window will open up, showing the video you clicked on.

### Converting a Video into the .bk2 Format

RAD Video tools can convert many different kinds of video formats into **.bk2**.  
They are compatible with most video formats such as: **.mp4 .gif .mov .wmv .avi**

- Open **RAD Video Tools**
- Left click the video you want to convert to **.bk2**
- Left click **Bink it!**

- A new window will appear. The Bink Compressor provides options for changing the settings of your video before converting it. Leave them to their default value.
- Change the text under **Output file info:** to the name of the video you want to replace.   
    Make sure to add **.bk2** as the file extension.
- After you finish naming the file, left click **Bink** located on the right side of the window. Your video will start processing into a **.bk2** video file. The video should be saved in the **same folder your original file was in**.

### Replacing the Existing Video File

<p class="callout danger">Make sure to create a backup for the original video file and store it somewhere safe.  
If you fail to restore the original file, you will need to Verify File Integrity from your client.</p>

- Go back to the file path where you originally found the video you want to replace  
    ( ex: **DOOMEternal\\base\\video\\tutorials** )
- Put your new **.bk2** file into the file path, and replace the vanilla file.
- Run DOOM Eternal like normal, no Eternal Mod Injector needed.

<p class="callout info">To restore the original video, simply replace your modified **.bk2** file with the vanilla file.</p>
