Idea Adding video's to Pokemon Essentials 20.1

[Lord Lucario 35]

I was wondering if there was any way to add a video to a cutscene in Pokemon Essentials Version 20.1?

Like a video cutscene of a legendary Pokemon appearing?

That could be an amazing idea! now, how do we implement?

There's definitely a way to do it while coding with Ruby to where you could get the game to play an mp4 file. But a much simpler approach would be to use RPG Maker's native pictures feature. This involves 0 coding and you can create scenes that are reminiscent of videos and work pretty well. You can also use animated gifs as pictures, but these don't show up at first when you're selecting them from the menu.
