Hello Stackoverflow community,
I am wondering how to get a hero background video to stay centered in the page no matter what, such as this http://thisisdk.com/
Purely through css, or through very minimal js.
The problem I have had is that I cannot keep the video in the center while resizing the window. I am okay with cropping! I just want it in the center without resizing.
This is my current test page, https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/96682768/VidTest.html
#intVid {
position: fixed; right: 0; bottom: 0;
min-width: 100%; min-height: 100%;
width: auto; height: 100%; z-index: -100;
background-size: cover;}
<video id="intVid" preload="auto" autoplay="autoplay" loop="loop" ><source src="showtest.mp4" type="video/mp4">bgvideo</video>
I have searched the web for a few hours and found no solution... not sure if this is over my head.
Thank you in advance!

I know this questions has been asked numerous times but I can't seem to fix the problem at my case. So I have added youtube video iframe to my website and while the video isn't playing it shows it in a full screen. Then when I click play it adds gaps on left and right and video isn't playing in a full size. I checked from console and found out that the video tag is caussing problems. I tried adding css to video tag but it seems like its not even showing in console, so it's not added.
HTML:
<iframe height="450" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ftAQc3L1gR4?rel=0&autoplay=0&loop=0&modestbranding=0&showinfo=0&feature=0&controls=0&enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" id="player_1" style="width: 100%;"></iframe>
CSS:
iframe video {
width: 100% inherit !important;;
height: inherit !important;
left: inherit !important;
top: inherit !important;
position: relative !important;
}
You can check the issue here: https://raadev.wpengine.com
You can go to the third slides and there will be a youtube iframe showing in 100% width, but when you click play it will show gaps on both sides.
Can anyone please help me fix this issue?
<div class="videoContainer">
<iframe class="videoContainer__video" width="1920" height="1080" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/IsBInsOj8TY?modestbranding=1&autoplay=1&controls=0&fs=0&loop=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&disablekb=1&playlist=IsBInsOj8TY" frameborder="0"></iframe>
</div>
And your CSS should be something like this:
.videoContainer {
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
top: 0;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
right: 0;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
}
iframe {
/* optional */
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
I remembered I had this problem long time ago and I made an answer here: Scale and reposition iframe like background-size: cover
It needs jQuery to make it work. (and change slightlly your iframe properties)
Fiddle
From my experience you will not be able to with your current (Desktop) slider height.
Youtube will always try to keep the aspect ratio of the video so given the restriction of container widths and heights you will sometimes see black "bars" from either the left and right or top and bottom.
I deal with it by making my video link and a thumbnail and after clicking that thumbnail i open a pupup with the iframe or video i want to display.
Just keep in mind the aspect ration
Recommended YouTube video dimensions: 240p (426 x 240), 360p (640 x 360), 480p (854 x 480), 720p (1280 x 720), 1080p (1920 x 1080), 1440p (2560 x 1440), 2160p (380 x 2160) - (Source by: Kristen McCabe)
Hope this helps =]
I'm looking for a way to have full page video backgrounds in the same section using fullpage.js. Essentially what is achieved here, but with a full background video in each slide:
http://alvarotrigo.com/fullPage/examples/videoBackground.html
The CSS used for the video is relatively straight forward:
#myVideo{
position: absolute;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
top:0;
right:0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background-size: 100% 100%;
background-color: black; /* in case the video doesn't fit the whole page*/
background-image: /* our video */;
background-position: center center;
background-size: contain;
object-fit: cover; /*cover video background */
z-index:3;
}
However this does not work with multiple slides due to the way sections span the length of all the slide divs. Is there an alternative solution?
Use a relative position for the slides.
.slide{
position:relative;
}
And then place your absolute positioned videos inside.
Is there a way to modify how the fullscreen functionality of a video behaves in a browser? I would like to display the video on the left side of my screen and an image (actually a PDF) on the right side.
I have tried it with css in chrome:
video:-webkit-full-screen
And that gave me some results, but not the desired one. Should I create a custom action for this? And if so, how can I let the video break out of the borders of the browsers?
You should insert the <video> tag inside a <div> with a defined height and width with the following attributes:
.video-container {
position: relative;
height: auto;
width: 60%;
}
video {
width: 100%;
max-width: 500px; // Or whatever value on your choice
height: auto;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
With a width of 100%, the video would fill the entire browser space but limit how big it can be by setting a max-width or max-height for the resolution and the responsiveness. I hope that my answer helps you!
EDIT
To fit in properly inside a div, you have to assign to the container position: relative and position: absolute to the video itself. If you want to break out from the borders, then you have to tweak the dimensions of max-height and max-widthof the video.
Check this question, since it is similar to yours.
I am trying to make a instagram style explore page but i have one question here. I have created this DEMO from codepen.io .
In this demo you can see the images. The images width and height is different not a same. I want to crop that images with CSS Like this DEMO page.
The difference between the first and second demo
First demo :
.exPex {
width: 100%;
}
Second Demo:
.exPex {
width: 200%;
}
So second demo working just in crome but this is not good idea i think. Anyone can tell me, How do I obtain the results of their second demo?
You could set the images up as background images and use background-size: cover; to get the effect that you're looking for (DEMO). This has the downside that your users will not be able to right-click or drag the images (to save them, etc.) as they might be expecting to do.
HTML for an example image:
<div class="_jjzlb" style="background-image:url('http://mihangallery.ir/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Almost-Home-Wallpapers.jpg');">
</div>
CSS:
._jjzlb {
position: relative;
padding-top: 100%;
width: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
margin: 1px;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
/* Optional centered background */
background-position: center;
}
If this downside is not acceptable, you could also put hidden images on top of the backgrounds so that they will work like the user expects.
HTML for an example image with normal image mouse interactions:
<div class="_jjzlb" style="background-image: url('http://mihangallery.ir/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Almost-Home-Wallpapers.jpg');">
<img src="http://mihangallery.ir/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Almost-Home-Wallpapers.jpg" class="exPex">
</div>
CSS to hide the image on top:
.exPex {
position: absolute;
display: block;
left: 0;
right: 0;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
opacity:0;
}
And here is a DEMO with the images, interacting with the user like you might expect them to.
EDIT: As pointed out by #GCyrillus, there are downsides to using a background image rather than keeping the images in the content of the page. These might include search engines and screen readers failing to recognize the image. I do not have an exhaustive list of the downsides but depending on your application it may be worth investigating.
you may use transform :
.exPex {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
min-width:100%;
margin: 0;
transform: scale(2);
transform-origin: 0 40px;
}

if you define a dimension to the image the aspect ratio will also be included. The best way is to put your image inside a div and declare the size of images that way you will be able also to crop images.
Well it might seem obvious but you could just put a fixed width to it ? Try to change width: 100% with width: 400px on .exPex for example.
I have this website.
I have a div with an embeded YouTube video and I am trying to hide the lower part of the video with a banner so that the YouTube logo that appears at the bottom is covered.
I have added another div for the banner, I used z-index and position: absolute; top:700px; to make it stack over the video but this makes the banner position unpredictable on all browser.
Firefox and IE looks good but it's not working well on Chrome or Safari because the banner is too low and doesn't cover the bottom of the video properly.
How else can I do this so that it works on all browsers? Basically I just need the banner to stack over the bottom of video so that it covers the area I want hidden.
Here's what I have
.embed-container {
width: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
margin-top: -80px;
padding-bottom: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
z-index: -1;
}
.mask {
position: absolute;
top: 700px;
right: 0px;
width: 100%;
height: 150px;
background-color: #ef1446;
z-index: 11;
}
.bottom {
bottom: 0;
}
<div id="lgvid" class='embed-container'>
<div class='over'></div>
<style>
.embed-container {
position: relative;
padding-bottom: 56.25%;
height: 0;
overflow: hidden;
max-width: 100%;
}
.embed-container iframe,
.embed-container object,
.embed-container embed {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
</style>
<div class='embed-container'><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Yo19ZhO7CAc?autoplay=1&loop=1&playlist=Yo19ZhO7CAc&cc_load_policy=1rel=0&controls=0&showinfo=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="mask bottom">
<br><br>
<center>
<h1 style="color:white;">¿Que estas buscando?</h1>
</center>
</div>
Use Vimeo, or HTML5. If removing the YouTube logo is all you want, it's a lot less trouble doing it that way. You can download the video from Youtube, here
Another thread discusses placing a div over a youtube video, this might be what you are looking for.
How to show a div over a Youtube video (z-index)?
[SOLVED] My main problem was just that the banner was not in the same position on Chrome and Safari when using z-index to stack my divs. On these two browsers, the banner was horizontally lower than in I.E. and Firefox.
I solved the issue by using a browser specific CSS hack found here: http://rafael.adm.br/css_browser_selector/
The browser specific CSS hack allowed me to position the banner in the exact position I wanted for those two browsers where the banner was out of place. I still used z-index in all style sets for all browsers just slightly different top margins for the Chrome and Safari specific CSS.
