To cite a video in APA format, you would typically follow the guidelines for citing an online video. Here's how to do it:
Format:
Author(s). (Year, Month Day). Title of video [Video file]. Website Name. URL
If the video does not have an author, you can use the name of the organization or the username of the uploader.
Example:
Smith, J. (2019, May 15). How to cite a video in APA [Video file]. YouTube.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABC123
If the video does not have a specific date, you can use "n.d." (no date) in place of the year.
Example:
National Geographic. (n.d.). How whales communicate [Video file]. YouTube.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYZ456
If you are citing a video that you accessed through a subscription service or database (such as Netflix or Hulu), you would include the name of the service instead of a website URL.
Example:
Smith, J. (2019, May 15). How to cite a video in APA [Video file]. Netflix.
Remember to italicize the title of the video and capitalize the first word of the title and subtitle, as well as proper nouns. Additionally, the format should specify that the source is a video file, and the URL should be included if the video is available online. If you accessed the video through a database or subscription service, you would include the name of the service instead of a URL.
