Edit 01
There is one more step you can add if your footage sequence isn’t playing back.
Right Click on the Media source track in the Sequencer and in the properties menu ,Media Texture Slot - choose the Media Texture you had created earlier.
Now your footage should play.

Hi Michael, I’m working on this with UE 5.1. I created the Material Instance from the Image Plate material, and am trying to drag in the MediaTexture to the PhysMaterial slot, but the slot turns red.


Suggestions?

The red is because that physics material slot won’t accept a video as an input. You would need to create a specific type of material for that purpose. Here’s more specific information: Physical Materials User Guide for Unreal Engine | Unreal Engine 5.2 Documentation
