(Infinity Pro) Video Background for front-fage-1

[rikaathena]

I really like the way Infinity Pro has the header that goes transparent when you scroll. I would like to add a simple MP4 background instead of a static image. Also, for mobile have it be a static image.

Is there a way to to do this, or if someone can point me in the direction of the files I would be editing? I don't mind if this fix removes variable codes and replaces it with a static command on the backend.

Thank you.

Just a side note, I am wondering now how to capture the code for the header that transitions so I can apply it to other that function to other pages that I can perhaps use with a page builder.

A bit boggled with how to edit the front page to how I planned it out when I bought the theme. Thank you, again! 🙂

Yes, thank you.

I am not using the front page widgets at the moment, so looking to either change the heading manually or just move on. Ideally, having the cool fade would be a nice touch.

You can use the video widget with CSS to display it full width behind the front page 1 widget content.

Great idea. It works, however it does an animation load and the video is set to animate along with the text. Where would I go to remove the animation on the front page?

Also, would there be a way to make the widget take up the whole background? I have something that only takes up a small portion of the widget area right now, unlike changing the background in the front page customizer menu.

Another option is to use a plugin like one of these https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/video-background/

Hi Brad. Thank you so much for your help. That plugin worked! I used the page to edit my .front-page-1 container.

However now when I look at it on a mobile device or something smaller then a width of 800, my site title changes transparency (oh no!).

Is there a way around this one?

You can see it on my site if you change the window size.

You can use CSS for media queries to style any element at any width.

I added:

.vidbg-container video {
max-width: none !important;
}

And it still gave me a weird jumping background.

I'll sing up for your site soon and bug you about it later. 😉

Thank you for your help. Ended up switching to Showcase Pro. Removes some design features I wasn't thrilled about with Infinity Pro.
