Responsive (full)background Video

HI!
I have a question is there any widget? that allows to create effect like here: CROP THE BLOCK | Creative filmmakers and videos from Paris and Berlin
I mean the background video is link from vimeo/youtube and its RESPONSIVE thx for help!

the 2 links vivek sent you are spot on. i am working on a background video site and have spent hours and days researching and testing... qooqee video widget is great and well worth the 3 dollars and your not hosting the file your self but letting you-tube do all the heavy lifting. The challenge is to also get background video to auto-play on mobile devices. you can do this by converting your video file to a gif file.I am in the process of doing this at moment. ill post a link here when done few days. works a treat and tricks iphone at least. it was one of the people on the adobe staff team that helped me out a few weeks ago but i cant find the form. if i do ill post it here as well

  • Responsive Full Screen Background image - How?

    Hi,
    I would be very grateful for any guidance on the CSS/HTML code that I need to use for inserting a static, 'responsive',  full screen, background image on  a website.
    Best wishes
    Simon

    Depending on what kind of browser support you want to include, this can be a single line of css code...
    background-size:cover;
    ...which takes care of all modern browsers back to IE9. Or, if you want to support older browsers (IE8 and lower), a more involved javascript would be required...

  • Full screen background video

    Hello.
    I have purchased the Fullscreen background widget and have it installed in Muse cc . When you preview the page with the widget in the browser the video displays and plays no problem, but as soon as i add text in the normal way and then preview in browser the only thing that displays is the text, no video. Could somebody please advise on this?

    Hi Sanjit.
    Right. The last time i tried the fullscreen background video it was on a site i was already working on. So i started a new page away from that and after a little fiddling about i got some simple text on top of the video background which is a start. Now bearing in mind i was also following the Chris Kellett video while i was doing this i also, like in the video tried to add a footer item after that and the result was the video background was pushed and squashed to the top of the browser screen. I deleted and tried the whole thing again got the video back but no text on top or footer at the bottom.

  • How To Create A Website Background Video In Adobe Edge ?

    Hello,
    I have video file in my computer SSD drive and i want it to play as background on my web page (page that i am creating).I did try to follow this video:

    but i cant follow 100% what he is doing.
    Guide that i did try to follow is at this link: How To Create A Website Background Video In Adobe Edge Animate Using Edgehero - YouTube
    Steps i do in Adobe Edge Animate CC
    1.) Create New
    2.) i click + sign under section Library >> Scripts >> Add JS File from URL...
    URL that i am adding is: http://www.edgehero.com/edgehero.js/1.2/edgehero_1.2_min.js  (URL is taken from site: Edgehero.js )
    I add this link: http://www.edgehero.com/edgehero.js/1.2/edgehero_1.2_min.js to box that occures after i click on Add JS File from URL
    3.) I go to Edgehero.js and from there i scrol down to section named as Media - Html5 video / Html5 audio
    and i select from there this:
    there is a code:
      // this will set the video as background of the div/rectangle
    backgroundvideo_1 ='movie.mp4';
      // put new edgehero.js variables here
    4.) I go to Adobe Edge Animate CC 2014 and right click on project and select Open Actions for "Stage"

    This will open Stage window
    there i will copy this code:

    Then i select Rectangle Tool and mark the area  (white box) and i click on small C icon
    And the box that occures i type there backgroundvideo_1_mp4 autoplay
    now when i use ctrl and enter i only get gray box that does not play video.

  • What is the best practice for full browser video to achieve the highest quality?

    I'd like to get your thoughts on the best way to deliver full-browser (scale to the size of the browser window) video. I'm skilled in the creation of the content but learning to make the most out of Flash CS5 and would love to hear what you would suggest.
    Most of the tutorials I can find on full browser/scalable video are for earlier versions of Flash; what is the best practice today? Best resolution/format for the video?
    If there is an Adobe guide to this I'm happy to eat humble pie if someone can redirect me to it; I'm using CS5 Production Premium.
    I like the full screen video effect they have on the "Sounds of pertussis" web-site; this is exactly what I'm trying to create but I'm not sure what is the best way to approach it - any hints/tips you can offer would be great?
    Thanks in advance!

    Use the little squares over your video to mask the quality. Sounds of Pertussis is not full screen video, but rather full stage. Which is easier to work with since all the controls and other assets stay on screen. You set up your html file to allow full screen. Then bring in your video (netstream or flvPlayback component) and scale that to the full size of your stage  (since in this case it's basically the background) . I made a quickie demo here. (The video is from a cheapo SD consumer camera, so pretty poor quality to start.)
    In AS3 is would look something like
    import flash.display.Loader;
    import flash.net.URLRequest;
    import flash.display.Bitmap;
    import flash.display.BitmapData;
    import flash.ui.Mouse;
    import flash.events.Event;
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    import flash.display.StageDisplayState;
    stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
    stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
    // determine current stage size
    var sw:int = int(stage.stageWidth);
    var sh:int = int(stage.stageHeight);
    // load video
    var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
    nc.connect(null);
    var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
    var vid:Video = new Video(656, 480); // size off video
    this.addChildAt(vid, 0);
    vid.attachNetStream(ns);
    //path to your video_file
    ns.play("content/GS.f4v"); 
    var netClient:Object = new Object();
    ns.client = netClient;
    // add listener for resizing of the stage so we can scale our assets
    stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeHandler);
    stage.dispatchEvent(new Event(Event.RESIZE));
    function resizeHandler(e:Event = null):void
    // determine current stage size
        var sw:int = stage.stageWidth;
        var sh:int = stage.stageHeight;
    // scale video size depending on stage size
        vid.width = sw;
        vid.height = sh;
    // Don't scale video smaller than certain size
        if (vid.height < 480)
        vid.height = 480;
        if (vid.width < 656)
        vid.width = 656;
    // choose the smaller scale property (x or y) and match the other to it so the size is proportional;
        (vid.scaleX > vid.scaleY) ? vid.scaleY = vid.scaleX : vid.scaleX = vid.scaleY;
    // add event listener for full screen button
    fullScreenStage_mc.buttonMode = true;
    fullScreenStage_mc.mouseChildren = false;
    fullScreenStage_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goFullStage, false, 0, true);
    function goFullStage(event:MouseEvent):void
        //vid.fullScreenTakeOver = false; // keeps flvPlayer component from becoming full screen if you use it instead  
        if (stage.displayState == StageDisplayState.NORMAL)
            stage.displayState=StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
        else
            stage.displayState=StageDisplayState.NORMAL;

  • Help centering background video in fluid grid layout inside div

    Hopefully this all makes sense. I am trying to center the background video (the animation on the website towards the bottom)... I have tried all sorts of things to try and center this. If it can't be done, it can't be done. The banner on top works as should. If all else fails I will just not use a fluid grid page and that will be that. I self taught myself  Adobe After Effects to make that animation (took me a month and 1/2) and I have self taught myself Dreamweaver.. coming from Frontpage and Expression Web.
    Here is the website (thank you in advance for your input):
    http://a1customcomputers.com/Web%20Development/A1CC/Main.html
    I just tested it and it's not playing how it should.. I'll figure that out later but where it says "Enter", that is what I need centered. Thanks

    Not trying to argue with you and I know you are only trying to help and I know that you know ALOT more about this than I do.. you do... I don't know if background was the correct "place" to call it.. but nevertheless.. what I beleive it is, is in the background.. and maybe that is part of the problem. It is supposed to be called from a JQuery plugin, and where I have it now is in a "div [div2]" in the "gridcontainer". It was working and my latest attempts it was working great.. but wasn't centered. But I've changed a bunch of code around lately and so that is why it is not working right now... The "Enter" that you see on the link I provided is the "poster". When I get a chance I will work on it and get the animation working again.. or back to normal.. just not centered. At first I was thinking "centered vertically".. and so for like a week, maybe longer.. everthing that I was searching for and trying was for "vertically center a div".. then it hit me.. you jacka$$.. you want to horizontally center it... Haha! Again, thank you for your input.

  • How do I add mpg background video behind a psd menu in Encore?

    How do I add mpg background video behind a psd menu in Encore? The psd file is transparent and it still comes out as pitch black behind the menu. I'm inexperienced with these products so any help is greatly appreciated.

    If you have done what Russ describes and it does not work...
    Encore replaces the background layer with your motion video. So make sure you have a) a layer at the bottom (in Photoshop layer order) that is named "background," and b) no other full layer above that (for example, an image in another layer you've used instead of the original background layer).
    Also keep in mind that setting transparency in Photoshop is overridden by various Encore processes.

  • Position Background Video

    I think I know the answer to this question from googling, but I'd like to confirm that...
    I would like to have a background video playing on in a window/viewport on one side of my menus. So far as I can tell, that's not possible in Encore CS5; if you attach a video file to a menu, it gets centered in the menu and you can't independently position it.
    I was working around this problem by creating a background video that takes up the entire menu's area, but crops the video (actually a slideshow) into the area I want it to play in. That gets me the visual effect I want, but the size of the background video coupled to the number of menus I'm using it on runs afoul of the 1 GB menu size limitation for DVDs.
    Has anyone figured out how to do this in a (disk) space efficient way? For example, could I use a video button with no action set as a placeholder for the "background" video?
    - Mark

    Create the video in premiere or after effects so that the "video" is offset and scaled as you wish.  You can add the still background there or as a superimposed layer in  the menu (but not menu background).  However, the movie you export from premiere or after effects will be full screen (size to the DVD size), and if it is too long (or too many menus), you will exceed the 1 gig limit.
    You might be able to thumbnail it, but where is the advantage?
    Possibility that you can use that to place a smaller movie, but I don't know if it works that way.  Worth testing.

  • Background video in animated menu.

    Have searched around the forums but can't find a definite answer to this.
    I created an animated menu in After Effects with a background motion loop video.
    Total length of 30 secs with button highlight appearing after 13 secs.
    If I set the loop point in Encore for approx 14 secs the animated menu and button highlightetc all works ok
    but the motion video in the background also stops at this point.
    I assume this is probably correct but if not can anyone tell me what I might be doing wrong?
    Alternatively, if it is correct, are there any tricks which would allow the background video loop to continue for the full 30secs?
    Hope I have explained this clearly enough.
    Thanks .

    Did you use any of these? If not, take a peek to see if you did it right. (I'm wondering if your still menu is covering the motion in AE.)

  • Background Video In Idvd

    I made a dvd and was able to export a clip from imovie to use as the background
    video in idvd. I burned the dvd and it looks great. I then updated most of the
    Imac software from apple. And now I can not find the settings for exporting a clip.
    The settings have changed and I have tried three or more times on my next dvd
    but the background video still looks terrible.
    The frist time I used Imovie to export it as a .dv clip and then I dragged it on to the
    background video in idvd menu. I Then tried to export the clip as a QuickTime file as
    full quality and only clips selected. The clips still looks bad. I have tried ecpert settings
    where I have it set to the clip as move to dv stream and I left the options on default.
    The last time I replayed the video tape and imported a small 3 min clip to use as the
    background video. I then copy the clip on to the desk top and then into Idvd.
    I burned the dvd and the background video still look bad.
    Im using a Imac 10.4.11(85165)
    Imovie HD 6.0.3 (267.2)
    Idvd 6.0.4.(797)
    Thanks Mr Golf.

    You may have done this already, but whenever you do updates you should follow with a permissions repair, and then delete preferences for iMovie and iDVD.
    If you haven't done it before: Delete preferences by closing iMovie and trashing the file com.apple.iMovie.plist found in User (the House icon)/Library/Preferences. Then do a permissions repair using the Utilities/Disk Utility App on your Mac. Open the Disk Utilities window and select the Mac hard drive icon at the top of the side pane at the left. Then click on the Repair Permissions button. When you have repaired permissions and deleted preferences, restart your computer and launch iMovie. iMovie will replace the .plist file that you deleted. Be sure also that you have sufficient free disk space on your hard drive for iMovie to function correctly. 20GB often is recommended by users of this forum. After doing all of the above, relaunch iMovie and see whether you still have the problem.

  • Lenovo 3000 N200 0769 Vista 32bit video driver (NVidia) full screen video problem

    Hi, would appreciate an update from Lenovo about this.
    The NVidia VGA driver just displays a blank screen when playing video in full screen mode when hardware acceleration is turned on (the default setting). Obviously it's a pain to turn off the hardware acceleration just to get full screen video working.
    There is a generic version of the driver available from Nvidia but they advise not to use it as the oem versions are apparently modified for features like turning the screen off when the lid is closed. Maybe someone's tried the generic NVidia driver and can let me know if it's worth a go. Ideally it would be nice to hear if Lenovo are aware of the problem and are going to release an update.
    Thanks

  • How can I fade in menus with background video?

    Hi there,
    I'm new to this forum (and to DVD SP) and have searched without being able to find out how to get my menus to work in this scenario:
    I have a short (6s) background video that does not loop and ends on a still frame.
    There are two drop zones, both with semi-transparent areas so that I can see the video play underneath. One drop zone has my title (as text in DVD SP) and the other has my "play" button.
    I want my video to play for 5s and then have all the other elements fade in over the last second.
    Here's what I've tried (thanks to suggestions from here and dvdstudiopro.digitalmedianet.com--which uses js that really bogs down Firefox, BTW):
    A. I created a custom patch using PS that's a 6s .mov file that's simply a black mask that fades to white.-->this causes my drop zones (which are layered psd files with a mask of their own) to fade up, BUT the custom patch overrides the drop zone mask and causes the drop zone to become completely opaque.
    B. I tried separating the background video and menus into separate menus in DVD SP. The first menu plays the video, then jump to the second menu which contains the last frame of the video as a still with the drop zones and button on top.-->this works but there is a noticable delay going from menu 1 to menu 2 and it looks horrible.
    C. I created a 6s .mov file in FCP that does exactly what I want, but when I bring it into DVD SP, the quality suffers.-->I exported without compression from FCP and with, same bad results (especially in text).
    Is there a way for me to get this to work gracefully?
    I put a still of my menu with callouts at this url if it helps:
    http://infactfilms.com/dvdmenu/
    Thanks very much and I appreciate the wealth of info in this forum.
    Cheers!

    Hi
    Read this note about Menu rendering in DVDSP:
    If you edit all your elements in FCP, adding the graphic fade in/outs, texts, etc and then export it directly with Compressor to MPEG2, and use that file/s as Menu backgrounds, DVDSP will not re-encode these menus.
    If you add in DVDSP text, graphic for buttons, drop zones, etc it will need to render and encode the background again to add those graphics.
    Take care of what video format you choose in FCP for your background edit. DV codec works really bad with graphic elements; you better choose DVCPRO50 sequence settings and export directly from FCP through Compressor. That way FCP will use the raw info from each frame and not the render files as if you export as Quicktime Movie.
    Hope that helps !

  • Mini-DVI to DVI - 1920x1080 full-screen video

    Just bought a mini-DVI to DVI adapter to hook up my Mid-2006 MacBook to my Acer H223H 23" LCD screen. It works fabulously as expected, except when I try to watch full-screen video on the Acer LCD at 1920x1080. What's strange is that when I'm watching video in a window (using VLC), I can increase the size of the window until it almost takes up the whole screen, but then any further than that causes noticeable jerkiness (a lot of dropped frames) in the video playback. Any ideas what's going on here?
    I hope this is the right forum for this and thanks in advance for helping me out!

    Posted too soon before fully exploring the situation. A little more context: I'm running a fresh install of Snow Leopard.
    I used the mini-DVI to DVI adapter and my LCD to hook up my girlfriend's laptop (MacBook running Leopard). Full screen video in VLC plays no problem (even used the same file). Also, I tried playing a DVD on my MacBook and it ran flawlessly. Clearly the issue is VLC's compatibility with Snow Leopard.
    Thanks anyway - glad to know this community is here if I have any other issues.

  • Macbook pro redina display keeps on telling me that the hard drive is full from Videos, and yet their is no videos, what can i do?

    Macbook pro redina display keeps on telling me that the hard drive is full from Videos, and yet their is no videos, what can i do?

    If the Storage display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
    Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
              iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
    Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
    According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
    When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as  Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
    See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
    You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
    Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
    Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
    ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
    Back up all data now.
    If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
    Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
    Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
    sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Ignore any other messages that appear in the Terminal window.
    The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
    When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.
