I am using the default instances, and i have been digging around the included VMFs, and dev communities, but i cannot find out how to change the screens in the elevator instances to another clip. Right now it is plain white.

I would like a simple "Do ____ then ____" answer, as i am a complete newb to instances.

When you place the transition ents instance, there's a $variable on it called $arrival_video and $departure_video
Simply go here and replace the ??? with media/***.bik for which one you want.
