Question:
How do I adjust the aspect ratio of the thumbnail image for a video in a Pro Gallery (Masonry layout)?
Product:
Wix Studio - Pro Gallery
What are you trying to achieve:
When uploading a video to the Pro Gallery, it forces the uploaded thumbnail image to take the aspect ratio of the video itself. (Example - I added a video from Vimeo to my gallery. Vimeo’s video player is 16:9 by default. I have an image with a 4:5 aspect ratio that I want to use as the thumbnail. When I upload the image, it forces it into a 16:9 aspect ratio in my masonry gallery.
What have you already tried:
I have wanted to have the video play with its respective information in lightboxes - but it is WAY too glitchy. So, I’m trying to use the “expand mode” to play the videos. I spoke with someone at Wix and they said there is not a native way to force the aspect ratios of the individual images in a masonry pro gallery… but he said it could be done by code.
Anyone have insight on how to do this?
