Select the Placeholder.
Go to the Inspector.
In the Name field, enter the name of the Video (including the file extension). Once available, the Video must be placed into one of the root repository folders (not into a subfolder) defined for the Channel.

This refresh of Placeholder elements is also done automatically every 30 60 seconds, and the rundown will be automatically rescheduled based on the actual time of the Video.
