Is the samyang af 16mm f 2 8 p fe good for video?

Yes, it's a sensible pick for video, with one caveat. The Samyang AF 16mm f/2.8 P FE is a small, autofocusing ultra-wide prime for Sony E full-frame bodies. Its 16mm view suits the wide framing a lot of video needs, especially for vlogging at arm's length, and it's light, which helps when you hold a camera for minutes at a time. It's not stabilised, so use a gimbal or stabilised body for handheld shots.

It fits video-oriented bodies such as the Sony FX3 and Sony ZV-E1. If you want a longer, more natural look, the Samyang AF 35mm f/1.4 P FE is the one I'd point you to, since it's noted for being video-friendly. Whatever lens you choose, budget for sound too; see the Video guide.
