LOL, yeah, saw Kash Patel indulging warfare with his Norseman warrior Valhalla comment.

An incompetent idiot in his position of influence he is.

Yours is a good question --

"But my question is: who made the video of Robinson running across the roof, dropping to the ground, and disappearing? Why was the video made? Was it just a regular security measure that was later found to have recorded something of relevance?"

I don't know, and it's not here -

A video, a pastor and a tense meeting: timeline of Charlie Kirk suspect’s arrest

Surveillance footage of person suspected of fatally shooting the rightwing activist set in motion a rapid series of events

What we know after suspect’s arrest

Fuzzy video footage of Charlie Kirk’s alleged killer racing across a rooftop at Utah Valley University, dropping to the ground and sprinting away in the moments following the conservative activist’s death on Wednesday, was taken from so far away that it could not possibly have revealed his identity.

“You started off with a clip that made him look like an ant,” Donald Trump told Fox News in a Friday morning interview as the US president discussed the killing of the rightwing activist at a campus speaking engagement attended by thousands of students.

But the value to FBI investigators of the public release of the video at about 8pm local time on Thursday night, along with a series of high-definition images of the suspect, was beyond measure. It set into motion a rapid series of events that ended just three hours later with the arrest of 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, who authorities say was identified by a close relative - believed to be his father, a veteran sheriff’s deputy.
Utah governor Spencer Cox, with Utah Department of Public Safety official Beau Mason, sheriff Mike Smith, and FBI director Kash Patel.

The relative confronted him, elicited a confession, then alerted a family friend who turned him in, the Utah governor, Spencer Cox, revealed at a press conference on Friday.

Experts say the imagery “supercharged” the progression of an investigation that had appeared to stumble at a senior level in the first 24 hours after Kirk’s shooting, with the FBI director, Kash Patel, twice announcing, then retracting, that the person believed to be responsible had been caught.

The publication of the video was “designed to get people’s attention” to the enhanced photographs that showed the person in much greater detail, Andrew McCabe, the FBI’s former deputy director, told CNN.

“It was that release that put the crowd sourcing and the public identification of this guy into high gear. It paid dividends,” he said.

Most of the details, however, came from Cox, a Republican who ended his own comments with an impassioned plea for young people to turn away from what he called the “cancer” of social media and to “log off, turn off, touch grass, hug a family member, go out and do good in your community”.

Cox was reluctant to draw a direct line from the release of the video and photographs to Robinson’s arrest, but acknowledged the events occurred within short order, and that “through some process the family came to know that this had happened”.

It was reported by some media outlets later on Friday that the suspect’s father, Matt Robinson, a 27-year veteran with Utah’s Washington county sheriff’s department, about 200 miles from the murder scene, told his pastor about his son’s confession, and it was the pastor who called it in.

“I want to thank the family members of Tyler Robinson, who did the right thing in this case and were able to bring him into law enforcement,” Cox said.

So in the end all Patel's patting himself on the back comes down
to a father telling his pastor and the pastor calling it in.

Who made the video? Good question. Had speculation written but erased it. Too many ifs.
