This is possible through the restart file (.qmdrst). The format of the restart file is:
4
0 0.000000
Coordinates
0.000 0.000 0.000
0.000 0.000 0.000
0.000 0.000 0.000
0.000 0.000 0.000
Velocities
0.000 0.000 0.000
0.000 0.000 0.000
0.000 0.000 0.000
0.000 0.000 0.000
The first line gives the number of atoms, the second line gives the step number and kinetic energy, and then come the coordinates and velocities (both in atomic units). If you want to specify your own initial velocities just create a restart file in this format with the initial coordinates and velocities that you want to use and set the step number to zero (it actually will not matter what you put as the kinetic energy since it will be recalculated from the velocities but you do need to have a number there).
Best,
Sean
