Hey all,
Experiencing some strangeness with Background-Videos. I’ve successfully been using them everywhere on my site and just today when I went to add a new one, it refused to fit using “cover”. I’ve literally duplicated an old one that I had before, and it still just don’t do it.
Any thoughts?
Here is my site Read-Only: LINK

@Geoff_Watson , Could you please clarify which background video section you’re referring to? If possible, could you attach a screenshot?
Thanks for getting back to me! I actually just came back here to comment on my fix.
For whatever reason, whenever I upload a portrait orientation 1080 x 1920 video, it transcoded it to become a landscape version of 1920 x 1080. This didn’t occur when I uploaded smaller portrait videos that were 1280 x 720, for whatever reason. Something to do with Webflow.
My fix was to use a custom code embed with HTML 5 video code referencing the video from a dropbox link. The strange part about that is that after you upload your video to Dropbox, and receive the link to it, you actually have to change the url from dropbox.com to dropboxusercontent.com, and it all works great. I suppose this also saves me some bandwidth!
