What if I want to use a counter to drive a step sequencer and add a palindrome, always counting from 1 to 16, and from 16 to 1 again so that it will be kept in sync. 

One of the nice features of an array is that you can store data in a particular order, then recall it in that order simply by incrementing an index counter. Or you can access the data randomly, which still restricts your outcome to members of that data set but ignores the original order.

This is the simplest possible way to switch between two videos. When the patch is opened we read in a couple of example video clips (which reside with the Max application folder, so they should normally be in the file search path). Because the default state of the 'autostart' attribute in jit.qt.movie is 1, the movies start playing immediately. Because the default state of the 'loop' attribute in jit.qt.movie is 1, the movies will loop continually.
