Yes the people marching don't need to see the video, but the unfortunate reality is you DO have to convince everyone else. That's why the attitudes of non-black people towards police brutality are have shifted significantly in the past 10 years [0], at least in my opinion. I'm not saying there should have to be video in order for victims of police violence to be believed, but the larger public won't start believing it otherwise. That's my belief on why the marches we're seeing since Floyd's murder involve more non-black people.
