Trying to make video display larger

Hi I posted a question about the way my video is displaying here https://theme.co/apex/forum/t/video-aspect-ratio-portrait-video-isnt-100-width/28512/3. which is now closed

I have now taken out some hosting and wondered if you could give me some pointers on how to make my embedded video appear wider in the column on the page. (whatever i do it seems to keep to the existing width and height). I want it to use the same proportions as the original video so that the width and height grow to fit the column width without the space on either side. I hope this makes sense.

Thanks

Hi,

Seems to look fine on my end.

Can you try clearing your browser cache and check again.

Thanks

Hi Paul
Yes, that is how it looks, but its not right, the video is actually only about 2/3 of the width of the containing box. The original video is portrait not landscape… it only looks ok now because i coloured the background container the same as the video background.
I want the video to appear larger and be the full width of the column. I mocked up what i mean here. This mock up shows the actual proportions of the video and how i would like it to appear. ignore the play bar i didn’t mock that properly.

Hi there,

The aspect ratio of your Video is different than normal 16:9 and also the way you want to add in the 2/3 column is the problem.

I suggest that you add the video using the Video element Player tab. Then click on the frame tab:

After that please go to the Content Aspect Ratio and play with the ratio for example 3:4 or the Fixed Height mode to find the best ratio which will work on your specific setup.

Thank you.

Yes, that’s what i wanted. Thank you.
