Just drop a new video in there with the same name, but honestly, why mess with perfection? The original startup movie has a charm to it!
Pro tip: Keep a backup of the original startup movie file. If anything goes sideways or you change your mind, you can always switch back to the classic startup experience.
As someone who's tried this, make sure your replacement video isn't too long. You don't want to be sitting through a feature film every time you turn on your Steam Deck!
