Posted this in the forum a couple of weeks ago and have gotten no attention so seeing if I can get some amplification here:
At the moment, it seems impossible to use a video background in EditorX. Whether I use the Single Video Player (which I need to, in order to be able to remove the play button), or the Video Box, stretching the video doesn’t work. At first, in the editor, it looks like it will, but as soon as I move to preview, black bars stretch horizontally across the sides of the video. Nothing I’ve tried to fix this has worked.
(I found an earlier forum response that suggested using GIFs to get past this, but GIFs are extremely large files, not suited for website usage. When I tried using a GIF, the stretch technically did work, but the GIF added pixelation and looked nowhere near as good as the video–while being 8x the size, WAY too large for a site to load.)
How is it possible that something so simple in the normal Wix editor could feel so impossible in Editor X? Is the team working on creating access to video backgrounds? This feels like a necessity in modern website development.
