How would I change the page template for a categories page?

  I’m new to wordpress and this is the first design I’ve made for wordpress (http://scoobydooobyd00.com/).

  My site has all my tutorials, and sources to my tutorials. You’ll notice that under that Navigation there’s a link to the Videos page (which is a category) but I want it to have its own page style like this page (http://scoobydooobyd00.com/videos) – this page is an actual page

  At first I Tried to make the videos page (not the category) load all the post under the category “videos”, but after searching the forums I realized I needed to use a category but when I do that I can’t specify the page template I want.

  Also I don’t want my tutorials/videos to show up on the home page so I used this script to exclude the posts from the home page

  function exclude_category($query) {
  	if ( $query->is_home ) {
  		$query->set('cat', '-19');
  	}
  return $query;
  }
  add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'exclude_category');

  Thanks in advance, ScoobyDooobyD00

  I’m sorry, I should’ve read that post before posting like it says.
