Welcome

PLEASE, when asking for help provide as much information as possible. Otherwise, it's like calling your doctor and saying "My head hurts." Your doctor can't treat you unless he knows whether you have a headache or a concussion, and we can't help unless we know what the symptoms are and what you did before they occurred.

When did this start?
Have you done anything to the vehicle, like adding remote start?
When was the last time the car was serviced?
Have you checked the battery and terminals?

I don't see a security lamp and cranking sounds healthy, so the battery or connections aren't likely culprits. First find out if it's fuel, that's the easiest thing to check. Pop the air filter cover and spray some throttle body cleaner, Brakleen, etc, down the intake. Basically anything combustible. If it starts and then dies again, it's a fuel problem. If it doesn't start, get a code reader and see if it's throwing any DTC's. If there's nothing obvious, pull a coil and check for spark and make sure there's no junk in the mass airflow (MAF).

One thing I recall from working on my aunt's Versa was the battery in the key was failing so the immobilizer wasn't disengaging. Maybe something else you could look into.

EDIT: i didn't see if there was an indicator for the immobilizer or if it appears on the mfd, so not sure if that's the culprit in your case.

That's what I meant about not seeing a security light (red key or car-with-key icon). I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it was in the cluster on a '12 Rogue and not on the dash, so it would be visible in the video. That would be lit solid if the car wasn't reading the key.
