You can use the HeadPos and PlayerLook commands to make an intro in Amnesia. There are many stories using this to make an intro (if it should show a text, just make a material and place the camera directly infront of it). I don't know what you exactly mean with intro, but if you just need to fly around a corridor or so, you can use that.

It's not possible to use any kind of video format in amnesia, the only way is to as DoubleThinking said use scripts to make a intro

If you would like to make something like a movie, you could use animations (with a lot of images). I did something like that when I created a TV with a movie playing on the screen.
I used a spotlight with Anim Mode: Loop, a lot of images and a short frame time - worked great.
Prolly not what you were asking for, but it's possible to create some kind of movie with images in the game - but it's kinda much work.
