When you are recalling a past event, do you imagine the transpired events as a series of still images of as “clips” of videos? Or as something else?

When people who can’t imagine things vividly in their mind’s eye are recalling something from the past, what exactly are they recalling? Words?

I remember it as video, though I can also see flashes of still imagery. It is largely devoid of audio, or smell, I have to explicitly try and imagine that, though I will note my imagination for smell and taste is quite good.

My mind's eye is fucking myopic, with poor clarity and resolution. I still can recall the above. If we go by the commonly use image chart for comparing aphantasia to vivid imagery, I think it would be like a 1 or 2/5, you know, the red apple thingy.
