Want to show a video in a bootstrap responsive site.
In my CSS file I defined the video tag width to be 100 % of the .span7 box and set the height to auto. Works very well on desktop when I change the width of the browser window. On iPhone it looks very well, too.
Only on iPad the video width is 100 % but height is only about 2 bootstrap rows. That's too small. Why that?
Why is the height so small on iPad in Safari mobile?
This is the trick I use for iPad:
<div class="video">
<canvas width="960" height="540"></canvas>
<video preload="none" width="960" height="540" controls poster="video.jpg">
<source src="video.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="video.webm" type="video/webm">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
</div>
CSS:
.video {
position: relative;
}
.video video,
.video canvas {
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
max-width: 100%;
}
video {
height: 100% !important;
position: absolute;
}
Works like a charm including the preview image (poster).

I have a question, how can I do so that the inserted video keeps the vertical proportion (so that all the content is seen) and is not displayed with zoom.
<section class="ctn-video">
<video class="video" muted autoplay loop controls >
<source src="./img/LOREAL/Sequence 02_4.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>
</section>
I tried changing the width and heigth but it didn't work.
I want that when I watch the video on the desktop it keeps the vertical proportion so all the content is shown
You can use CSS object-fit: contain to ensure all the video is always visible.
Here's a simple example:
* {
margin: 0;
}
section {
/* the dimensions can be anything, just set like this here for demo */
width: 100vw;
height: 100vh;
}
video {
width: 100vw;
height: 100vh;
object-fit: contain;
}
<section class="ctn-video">
<video class="video" muted autoplay loop controls>
<source src="https://www.w3schools.com/html/mov_bbb.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>
</section>
I have a <video> tag in my HTML, that looks like this:
<video control>
<source src="[video_url].webm" type="video/webm">
<source src="[video_url].mp4" type="video/mp4">
<p>Your browser does not support this type of video</p>
</video>
This video is hosted on Cloudinary, and I'm doing an inline transform with the src to get a specific dimension (w_450,h_350).
The video by itself looks fine, however I have a media query where I shrink the video by 100px in both width and height to fit smaller screen sizes
#media screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
video { width: 350px; height: 250px }
}
And as you can see, the video container has a shadow that overflows past the width and height of the new container size. If I click play on the video, the box shadow persists.
How do I make the box-shadow for the controls fit the actual size of the container?
Rather than applying height width to the tag you should enclose it within a
<div>
<video control>
<source src="[video_url].webm" type="video/webm">
<source src="[video_url].mp4" type="video/mp4">
<p>Your browser does not support this type of video</p>
</video>
</div>
And then apply your css to the
#media screen and (max-width: 1000px)
{
div{ width: 350px; height: 250px }
video{ width: 100%; height: 100% }
}
I am trying to make my video a responsive one. The video has been positioned on top of an image (a tv screen) and it is important that it stays in the same place no matter how big the browser.
How would I go about making the video so it is
a) responsive
b) fixed in the position it is currently in.
The video has a height and a width so I am guessing it is harder to do.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

Making a video responsive is pretty much the same as making a picture responsive.
Mainly, you have 2 solutions:
1) Using width and max-width properties in %s instead of pixels.
The video will scale within his limits (and of course within the window limits).
This is a very common solution - but nevertheless, I do NOT suggest you use it.
This might not look good on screens that are in different aspect-ratio than your video.
http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_rwd_videos.asp
2) The better solution to your problem is using the media attribute for your source, adjusting different videos for different screen sizes (media queries).
<video>
<source src="video-widescreens" media="screen and (min-width:800px)">
<source src="video-widescreens" media="screen and (min-width:800px)">
<source src="video-smallscreens.mp4" media="screen and (max-width:799px)">
<source src="video-smallscreens" media="screen and (max-width:799px)">
</video>
What is the recommended/best way to set a video tag's width?
<video width="100%" ...></video>
Or using CSS:
video {
width: 100%
}
I would usually go the CSS route 100% of the time, but setting widths in elements like the canvas can be problematic.
Using CSS is better
because it improves code readability
If you are looking for making responsive video element, then you need to wrap video inside a div with width 100%.
Here it goes:
div.video {
max-width:100%;
height:auto;
display:block;
margin:0 auto;
}
.video {
width: /* More than element */;
}
I have tried the both the following link
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml5_video_width_height
There is no difference it makes.
1. Inline
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<video width="100%" height="240" controls>
<source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
</body>
</html>
2. CSS
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<style> video{width : 100%; }</style>
<video height="240" controls>
<source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
</body>
</html>
Better use the css.
It is good to style externally, not inline..
CSS
video {
width:100%;
}
You can use this code to make your video in full screen
video {
width: 100% !important;
height: auto !important;
}
To have a responsive html5 video tag you can go with this simple approach:
html
<video width="640" height="264" data-setup="{}" preload="auto" controls="" class="video-js vjs-default-skin" id="video_1">
<source type="video/mp4" src="video/src.mp4"></source>
<source type="video/webm" src="video/src.webm"></source>
<source type="video/ogg" src="video/src.ogv"></source>
<p class="vjs-no-js">To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that <a target="_blank" href="http://videojs.com/html5-video-support/">supports HTML5 video</a></p>
</video>
width and height attributes are a simple aspect ratio. Override these values using css to keep your code as maintainable as possible.
css
video {
height: auto !important;
width: 100% !important;
}
Now your video will resize according to your container width.
You can use Javascript to dynamically set the height to 100% of the window and then center it using a negative left margin based on the ratio of video width to window width.
DEMO
var $video = $('video'),
$window = $(window);
$(window).resize(function(){
var height = $window.height();
$video.css('height', height);
var videoWidth = $video.width(),
windowWidth = $window.width(),
marginLeftAdjust = (windowWidth - videoWidth) / 2;
$video.css({
'height': height,
'marginLeft' : marginLeftAdjust
});
}).resize();
If I understand correctly, this should be as simple as setting the min-height and min-width to 100%. So for example:
#video {
position: fixed;
left: 0;
top: 0;
min-width: 100%;
min-height: 100%;
width: auto;
height: auto;
}
This may need to be adjusted for responsiveness.

I am struggling with a stupid little thing. Working on this site:
(sorry for the slow server, school stuff you know)
The video you'll see is on height vh100, which is what i want. When I have this video on the max height of your browser the width of the video is not fullscreen.
The code I have now:
HTML
<!-- video -->
<video id="moodvideo" autoplay loop>
<source src="moodvideo.mp4" type='video/mp4'>
</video>
CSS
/* Video */
video {
height: 100vh;
width: 100vw;
}
What I am trying to achieve is the video on full screen, width 100wh and height 100vh. If the height (of the video with width 100wh) is bigger then the height 100vh, I want the video to crop so it will be on fullscreen view on the max width and height your browser. By cropping, I don't bother to missing some of the video (50px from the bottom or so), fullscreen in width and height is more important to me.
Now, I already searched and tried a lot before asking you guys, things like; vw100/vh100, min-height/width 100, add the movie in a div, div to 100 vh/vw, and some scripts I found but nothing really works...
You could use the jquery videoBG plugin: http://syddev.com/jquery.videoBG/
Or you could add the following code: https://jsfiddle.net/wcv2ak9p/1/
The alternative image is displayed when the browser doesn't support the video.
HTML
<video id="moodvideo" autoplay loop>
<source src="moodvideo.mp4" type='video/mp4'>
<img id="alternative" src="alternative.jpg" />
</video>
CSS
#moodvideo, #alternative {
width: 100vw; /* Could also use width: 100%; */
height: 100vh;
object-fit: cover;
position: fixed; /* Change position to absolute if you don't want it to take up the whole page */
left: 0px;
top: 0px;
z-index: -1;
}
