I just added a new video using jrVideo-In my form designer I have a field called "descriptions and its set to "Required" and "Active"

I have added a description to the video but when it uploads there is NO description- just the video?

Form Designer is for getting info INTO the datastore,
Templates are for getting data OUT OF the datastore.

So you need to add whatever you called the Form Designer field to the template.

If you called it 'video_description' and the uploader of the video added some description to that field when they added the video, then you can display it on the page.

Look in the jrVideo's item_detail.tpl file for other output fields and you can use it in that same location.

There are many ways to over-ride the default jrVideo item_detail.tpl file, so where you need to alter will depend on if you are currently over-riding it or not and where you are over-riding it.

The default location is:
/modules/jrVideo/templates/item_detail.tpl

So possible over-ride locations are:
ACP -> MEDIA -> VIDEO SUPPORT -> TEMPLATES -> item_detail.tpl

or by putting a tpl file at:
/skins/(YOUR SKIN)/jrVideo_item_detail.tpl

and if that exists, then
ACP -> SKINS -> YOUR SKIN -> TEMPLATES -> jrVideo_item_detail.tpl

Which location is correct depends on how you are developing your site.

--edit--
add {$item.video_description} where you want it to come out.

--edit edit--
Actually, it looks like you called the Form Designer field 'video_video_description' so to output it, its {$item.video_video_description}
