There is only one thing I can think about that an "alt" attribute could provide that nothing else does: as a blind user tabs onto a video element, the "alt" attribute's content could be read out and briefly describe what is visible in the poster image - or alternatively give a brief summary of the video. This is useful for all those cases where no surrounding text is given for whatever reason. Where a surrounding text is given, such as the video title and description, such text is likely not necessary.
