The sign for "video" depends on what you mean. If you mean to mean the noun video as in a movie clip then you would use the sign for "MOVIE." If you mean the verb as in "to create a video" then you should use the sign "VIDEO-record."

Notes:
Hearing people might say, "Hey, want to come over to my place for a video?"
Deaf tend to say, "WANT COME MY HOUSE WATCH MOVIE?" (Or some other version like, TONIGHT, MY HOUSE, MOVIE WATCH, WANT JOIN?) The point being, if you mean specifically a "videotape," "CD," or "DVD" then go ahead and sign exactly what you mean. Otherwise you should default to MOVIE.
