How to crop a mp4 video on a website - html

I am trying to play a mp4 on the main page of my website. I have a sample mp4 below to test with ..... but I would like to keep it width 100% which is does, but remove a certain percentage of the top and bottom so I have a thinner video. Below keep it responsive but I need to reduce the top and bottom by say 10%
<div >
<div >
<div align="center" class="embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9 " style="background-color:red;">
<video id="video01" autoplay loop class="embed-responsive-item"
style="background-color:green;">
<source src="http://elevationchurch.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Website_GetInvolved_v3.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>
</div>

I think SVG Masking is a solution. You can read about it here : http://svglab.com/exp/masking-video.html

Autoplay next Video after Video 1 is over

I cant write html myself. However if I look at the code I mostly understand what the function is. So we have a autoplay Feature that plays .mp4 Videos when visiting the site as a background. The code below works and the Video loops when its over. But how can I rotate between 3 different videos?
I tried adding the different sources like this (under the original one):
<div id="hero-section" class="medium-margin">
<div class="row hero-unit">
<div class="hero-overlay"></div>
<video autoplay loop muted poster="images/poster.jpg" id="bgvid" class="img-fluid">
<source src="images/Avalo.mp4"type="video/mp4">
<source src="images/city.mp4"type="video/mp4">
<source src="images/dragon.mp4"type="video/mp4">
</video>
</div>
</div>
</div>
However, this will only play and loop the first one.
<div id="hero-section" class="medium-margin">
<div class="row hero-unit">
<div class="hero-overlay"></div>
<video autoplay loop muted poster="images/poster.jpg" id="bgvid" class="img-fluid">
<source src="images/Avalo.mp4"type="video/mp4">
</video>
</div>
</div>
</div>

Why is the div with container class showing before the video tag in Bootstrap 4?

Why is the div with container class showing before the video tag in Bootstrap 4?
<div class='jumbotron'>
<video width="320" height="240" >
<source src="myvideo.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
</video>
<div class='container'>
<h1>Heading 1</h1>
</div>
</div>
It is the z-index. I needed to make sure the video had a higher z-index than the containing block. Without that it will appear as coming after that block because it is covered.

Why does an embedded video in bootstrap mobile autoplay before the homepage displays?

I have made a responsive website using bootstrap, and I have a media page with an embedded video. My code for it is this...
<div class="col-lg-6 col-lg-offset-3">
<!-- 16:9 aspect ratio -->
<div class="embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9">
<iframe class="embed-responsive-item" src="video/yellow-bend1.mp4" width="600"></iframe>
</div>
</div>
It displays fine on large screens, but when I visit using my mobile, the video opens and autoplays in my video app before the home page displays, and you have to close the app to see the site. Is there a way to keep it fixed on the media page on mobile displays?
This is my first experience embedding video, and all the answer Ive searched for seem to be asking the opposite of what I need.
Thanks
I found this that works:
<video autoplay=0 controls>
<source src="video/yellow-bend1.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
</video>
<div class="col-lg-6 col-lg-offset-3">
<!-- 16:9 aspect ratio -->
<div class="embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9">
<video src="src="video/yellow-bend1.mp4"" controls></video>
</div>
</div>

How to just display html video poster for mobile device

I currently have a HTML video within a div that auto plays for desktop browsers. I'm trying to implement a fix that DISABLES the video for mobile and only displays the video POSTER in its place. I feel like it should be a simple fix, but I can't find any CSS or JS to do this.
Code below:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-1 no-padding">
<video loop muted autoplay poster="images/joe-rule/banner.jpg" class="width">
<source src="images/joe-rule/video-reel.mp4" type="video/mp4" >
</video>
</div>
</div>
this is what I did
in html:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-1 no-padding">
<video loop muted autoplay class="width">
<source src="images/joe-rule/video-reel.mp4" type="video/mp4" >
</video>
</div>
in js:
check if the page is loaded in mobile
if (isMobile) {
$(".col-1 no-padding").find('video').attr('poster', 'images/joe-rule/banner.jpg');
}
So that the poster will only be displayed in mobile.
you may need to search the use of "isMobile" or any other to check if the page is loaded in mobile.

Bootstrap 3: Fitting video to grid

I have multiple videos that I would like to be resized to it's parent bootstrap div in a grid format but the weird thing is that it's increasing the size of the col but not the video itself.
Here is a sample of how the code goes in the grid format. In my CSS file, the class gif-video width and height is both set to 300.
Here is an image representing my problem.
If i change the gif-video width and height to 100%, here is how it looks like. The size is correct but there are empty spaces as though the div got pushed down.
Here is an image representing this issue.
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-3 col-md-4 col-xs-6 thumb">
<video class="gif-video" autoplay loop poster="http://thumbs.gfycat.com/<%= title %>.jpg">
<source src=<%= gif.webmurl %> type="video/webm">
<source src=<%= gif.mp4url %> type="video/mp4">
</video>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Set max-height and max-width to div , some of video must been little bit bigger and maybe push paddings to right or bottom
