[Basic]Brief=GDI_M02The movie runs directly after Intro when a campaign mission is started fresh, and it is the only one of the mission’s movies that stays reachable afterwards: the objectives screen shows a second button beside “resume” when a briefing movie is set, and that button stops the score, replays the movie, and starts the score again. With no briefing movie, the resume button is centered on its own and the screen offers text alone.
Naming a movie the art file’s [Movies] list does not carry has the same effect as omitting the key. Intro covers how a movie name is resolved and what happens to one that cannot be found.
The briefing movie is also formatted into a 25-byte buffer on the way past, with no length check and no use made of the result. A [Movies] entry longer than twenty characters overruns that buffer on the stack.
