video

[lve]

Hello,

I've placed a HTML5 video in my image carroussel.
The video is a mp4 and exactly the width of the images in the carroussel (1920 px). But when it's uploaded and you scroll through the page, the video is much bigger, but played in the same 'frame' as the images, so the information falls off, it's very much zoomed in.
See: http://teamthursday.com/timeline, and then the 9th post from the top. (Thursday, 8 November 2018) The second image will be the video.

Do you know what happens here? How can I scale the video or make sure the video sits properly in the frame?

Best,
Loes

your carousel's aspect ratio is
3:2

your video's aspect ratio is
16:9

it is not about having the same width, it is about having the same aspect ratio

Ok, thank you!
I can't change the ratio of the original video, so can I setup something in laytheme, so that there's a transparant part under the video? That the video width fits, but the height is smaller?

add white bars to the video maybe

So there is no way you can make an image or a video 'fit to page' or 'fit to width' so to say?
(I don't know an easy quick way to add a white bar to the video.)

Thank you. I've changed the video into a smaller size. But now, the rest of the photos in the carroussel also become smaller. Not as small as the video, but slightly smaller then the rest of the carroussels.
And in another post, all the way down on the page, is also a carroussel with a small video, but that doesn't seem to affect the image size of the photos.
Hope you can still give me some tips for this.

Dear @lve
can you tell me where I can find the video with the wrong size?

Best!
