Is there a way to make a video background for content items?

I have a video loop that I'd like to add text over to use as an pre-service item.

    Hey, Jared! Yes, you can add content items to the pre-service loop and use video backgrounds with them.  Under the background tab, just choose "File..." to upload your video loop and be sure to check loop when you upload it.  You can then customize the slide and add text wherever you want.  Let me suggest though, that it's best to use custom captions when adding text over video so you can have complete control on the text customization.  If not, with the "Main Text" item which allows for word wrapping you are only left with a drop shadow which is less customizable than having the outline, drop shadow, and glow and other things you can use to make the text stand out over the video.  I hear things are coming soon which allows for full text customization in any item.  Hopefully it comes sooner rather than later.
