Adding a Video Background​

To incorporate a video background into a section:

  1. Select the desired section on your page.
  2. In the settings panel on the right, change the BG media type to Video.
  3. Choose a video from your media library.
  4. Click the Preview icon to see how it looks in your browser.

Video Display Options​

You have three options to control how your video background is displayed:

  • Fit: The video scales to fit within the designated area, maintaining its aspect ratio. This option may result in letterboxing if the aspect ratios don't match, but ensures the entire video is visible.

  • Fill: The video fills the entire area, which may involve cropping or stretching. This option ensures full coverage but can alter the video's aspect ratio.

  • Cover: The video covers the entire area while maintaining its aspect ratio, avoiding distortion. Some empty space might appear if aspect ratios differ, but the video remains undistorted.

Background Opacity Settings​

Adjust the transparency of your video background with these options:

  • None: The background is fully opaque, blocking any content behind it.

  • Light Fade: Introduces subtle transparency, allowing some content behind to show through while keeping the background visible.

  • Half Fade: Sets the background to 50% opacity, balancing visibility between the background and the content behind it.

  • Heavy Fade: The background is almost transparent, prioritizing the visibility of content behind it.

Video Looping​

Control the playback of your video background with the loop setting:

  • Loop On: The video plays continuously, restarting automatically when it ends for a seamless viewing experience.

  • Loop Off: The video plays once and stops, ideal for non-repeating content or brief introductions.

Experiment with these settings to create captivating and engaging web pages that resonate with your audience.
