If the universe were infinite and with that every possible outcome were possible for any given event

Wouldn't it also be true that in an infinite universe the universe would be finite?

If I understand the youtube video I saw months ago, then there exists another dimension where the universe is finite.

No, your statement is contradictory. Something that is infinite can not be finite. The universe is always expanding, and will not stop expanding.

If in the infinite universe all events and possibilities are possible, then the possibility of that universe being finite must also be true

maybe you should first try to understand what 'infinite' means
and then you should try again
and again
...
until it finally clicks (if ever that is)

I know what infinite is, and if the universe were infinite, then all outcomes of anything would be true, so a finite universe must also be true

you clearly don't understand 'infinity' but don't despair, most people don't (actually very few do)
if the universe is infinite, a finite subset wouldn't be the universe
