Is it possible to use video instead of a picture on the background of a header section? How can it be done?

Insert video control or upload video to own server and use standard HTML embed code.

Wait, I have a section with a container and a slider. That slider contains one slide with a picture, but I want a video instead of that picture. I can put a video above or under that section, but not insde that section

  • Remove photo from slider
  • Insert one new container control (inside slider)
  • Insert video control inside container (inside container inside slider)
  • It is all, put link to your video

Thanx Stagger Lee. I think I have the video in the right position now but it's not covering the full background. Is it possible that the video takes the height of your screen?

Hi,

You mean to make it a background in the site? In this case you can try to put the container with absolute position on the top of the page and set the 100% width and height. maybe you will need to play around those options a bit.

Sincerely,
Hella

Hi,

The container is full height, but the video in the container maybe 100% in width and the height is calculated to keep the video proportions and that's why it does not go down. You can attach your theme so we could check.

Hi, I want something like http://www.palmercreative.co.uk/ but with full screen video. Just like your fantastic full screen header sections but with video as background instead of a picture.

Hello, I can make this work with the free PRI-background module. For the people who work with Joomla
http://extensions.joomla.org/extension/pri-background
I insert one of themlers great headersections with menu. I delete all but one slide. I remove the picture in that one slide.
In themler I create an empty module position (you can also use an existing module position on the page) because the module needs an existing moduleposition.
In the backend of joomla go to the PRI-backgroundmodule and insert #section3 (or the id of your headersection) in the Background Selector input field. Choose a video (Vimeo, Youtube) Settings: Loop True / Position Absolute / Fullscreen bg True

I should be great to have this function in Themler itselfs

Use one of finished header sections (without carousel slider) and adapt it.

  • Remove photo
  • Insert layout container in section
  • 100% height, 100% width, set position relative, not absolute, remove all values from top, left, right, bottom
  • Inside this container insert video control

You dont need slider if it is only one video. Forget sliders.
If it is video from Youtube there are other problems. You cannot force HD preview image, cannot force HD playback.

I've tried it, started from a blank section, inserted a layout container, inserted a video. Works, but I have troubles to insert another container in that same section, a container that contains the menu and the text as a layer over the video. Drag and drop, it's horrible!! Or it's under or behind the video.
I mean, as video it works fine, but it's no background video. I need text and controls as a layer over the video. Or do I something wrong?

Another problem: you still see the controls of the video even I've turned it off.

I think I'll use the PRI-backgroundmodule for the moment. It works fine with it.

A good (video)tutorial on this subject?

cutevamp911, On your website video plays continuously, without delays between replays. I got 15 seconds of video play, 1 - 3 seconds loaded (while loading the video gray background), and again play. And so the circle. How did you do it? Your video do not pause and not load between replays.
