Parallax Pro – Video in first image?

[Chris Jaeger]

Hi.

Can you use a background video in the first/top spot of the Parallax Pro child theme? I don't see why not, but thought I'd inquire to see if anyone has used it that way and how they did it.

Something like at: http://jasminestar.com/

For example, behind the first "Hello There" (where there is just a static image in the demo).

Thanks!

Hi Chris,

I hear crickets...

Did you ever figure this out or get any info from other sources?

I'm interested in the answer if you either come across something or if one if the smart developers in this forum know how this can be done.

If I see something out there I'll let you know.

I would love this too - Parallax Pro could be the perfect foundation for designers trying to emulate PayPal's new design.

Excellent find, thank you Julia!

Anyone else with some specific notions about a successful way to go about the video background in the parallax pro theme? You know, something that was responsive, like the theme? or are we stuck with the crickets?

Thanks,

Has anyone done this? I want a video filling the first Section of Parallax Pro. It's been well over a year. Still crickets?

I've used this plugin and haven't found a downside:
