I submitted my R1 application on the deadline day and received an email with instructions to complete the video essay. The deadline for the video essay was one week later, so no, you don't have to finish it before the application deadline.

Looks like you submit the video essay after you submit the completed application.

direct from Kellogg's website:

"The Video Essays provide applicants with an additional opportunity to demonstrate what they will bring to our vibrant Kellogg community – in an interactive way. Each applicant will complete two short video essay questions. The questions are designed to bring to life the person we have learned about on paper.

After submitting a completed application, each applicant will be asked to complete two Video Essay Questions. One will be about the candidate’s interest in Kellogg and the other will be a “getting to know you” type of question.

There are 10 practice questions which candidates can complete as many times as they like to get comfortable with the format and technology. The practice questions and experience will simulate the actual video essay experience, so this is meant to be a useful tool and help applicants feel prepared.

There is not an opportunity to re-do the answer to the official video essay questions. We encourage applicants to practice so they are comfortable with the format once it is time to complete the official questions.

Candidates will have 20 seconds to think about their question and up to 1 minute to give their response.

We estimate the Video Essays will take 15-20 minutes to complete – which includes time for set-up and answering all the practice questions."

If I recall his list was pretty awesome but you could also take a look at this great page on Aringo - https://aringo.com/kellogg-video-essay-interview/

Not sure how likely those questions are to be chosen from but if nothing else good practice to think about them (and record yourself a couple times).
