Videos are the same on all projects

Design help CMS
1

I am working on a template, I want to add different videos to each project.

When I try so, all the videos duplicate to be in all project pages.

The template for those sites was CMS and I added a reference to the video on each project.

Thank you!
Andrew

Hi Andrej, you’ve got a Project collection page, which contains a collection list that is also bound to Projects.

What you’re saying here is “list all of the projects on my projects page”.

If you drag that video outside of the collection list [ which will work, since both the page and the list are bound to the same collection ], it will just show the video for the current page.

Following up on this, I am struggling with the same issue. I don’t think mine is in a collection? Your help is greatly appreciated!

Hi Lauren, yes this is a collection page.
You can see at the top, “Projects Template”. [1]

Some notes;

  • Your video [2] isn’t bound to anything, it would be purple like [3]
  • The video element here is a background video, which actually cannot be bound to the CMS. You need a regular video element if you want it to connect to your collection’s video field.

I don’t care for it to be bound to the CMS, I just want to have a different video for each project, for it to play automatically, and loop. How does one do this?

It depends on where you’re hosting your videos, but I’ll assume something like Vimeo or YouTube for now. The basic process is;

  • Add your videos to each project in the CMS
  • Add a Video element to the page ( not YouTube, and not Background Video )
  • Bind it to your CMS video field ( already existing )
  • Republish

However you’re wanting them to autoplay & loop which means they also need to be muted. You might be able to specify that with the video element.

If not the best approach is to create the embed code, and bind it to a URL field in the CMS for each individual video.
