The ''Theatrical Edition'' is a one-hour-and-half film, divided into two segments known as [[Episode 25']] and [[Episode 26']] separated by their credits, while the ''Video Edition'' has Episode 25' and Episode 26' as two regular episodes with separated (and different) credit sequences, new title screens to tie in with the rest of the series, and a preview of Episode 26'.
The ''Theatrical Edition'' is a one-hour-and-half film, divided into two segments known as [[Episode 25']] and [[Episode 26']] separated by a credit sequence covering both halves, while the ''Video Edition'' treats Episode 25' and Episode 26' as two regular episodes with separated (and different) credit sequences, altered title screens to tie in with the rest of the TV series, and a preview of Episode 26' after the credits of 25'.
It's also interesting to note that, in the ''Video Edition'', Episode 25' and Episode 26' were presented on the same discs as Episode 25 and Episode 26 from the TV series continuity.


Note: the screenshots for the ''Video Edition'' are presented here in their original DVD aspect ratio (1.85:1 letterboxed in 4:3), while those from the ''Theatrical Edition'' are presented in its native anamorphic 16:9 aspect ratio as seen in the later ''Renewal'' DVD set (KIBA-1009).

The alternate ending of the series, The End of Evangelion, has been released by Gainax in two slightly different versions. The most widely known of the two is the Theatrical Edition, which premiered in theaters in July 19, 1997 and has been released in a number of different DVD editions (Theatrical Edition, Renewal, and the DTS Collector's Edition). The lesser known version, known as the Video Edition, was only released in the VHS, LD, and the original pre-Renewal DVD editions of the series. It can be found on the Genesis 0:13 (25 and 25') and 0:14 (26 and 26') VHS/LD releases and on the KIBA-7 DVD.

While the two versions share practically all the same footage, there is a difference in their presentation. The Theatrical Edition is a one-hour-and-half film, divided into two segments known as Episode 25' and Episode 26' separated by a credit sequence covering both halves, while the Video Edition treats Episode 25' and Episode 26' as two regular episodes with separated (and different) credit sequences, altered title screens to tie in with the rest of the TV series, and a preview of Episode 26' after the credits of 25'.

Note: the screenshots for the Video Edition are presented here in their original DVD aspect ratio (1.85:1 letterboxed in 4:3), while those from the Theatrical Edition are presented in its native anamorphic 16:9 aspect ratio as seen in the later Renewal DVD set (KIBA-1009).

The only video footage content within is a steadycam moving backwards, apparently through Gainax's studios (in a variety of video aspect ratios), followed by the next episode's title card. See also this thread.

Here's a translation of the preview:

Finally, Shinji Ikari faces the Pandemonium that is reality.
Unable to cope with the trauma, he resigns himself to a fantasy world.
Where there is no pain called 'reality'.
Where there is no fiction called 'myself'.
Where there is no fear called 'other people'.
Where there is no hope called 'others'.
Where there is no existence called 'the self'.
Next time, the finale: "My Pure Heart for You"
