Hello,

I am creating a video cover for the revolution slider (similar to Integrity 1 x theme). I have loaded my video into the HTML5 in the main cover/background section. However, when I try to save I get the prompt “Cover image need to be set for videos”. What is this referring to? If I select any other option and save (Main image/background, Transparent or solid colour) it works but the video does not show anymore, and I cannot select a video for the main image/background. I only want the video to show.

Thanks for your help!

Hi there,

You will have to set the Cover Image just right below the options where you set the HTML5 video.

Please see the screenshot below.

So it’s not possible to re-create the integrity demo 1 look now that revolution slider has been upgraded? We are forced to display a cover image BEFORE the video starts?

Hello There,

Sorry for the confusion. Please note that in Integrity 1 demo, we’re using a 1 transparent slide in revolution slider. Then on the Page settings where you want the slider to appear there is Slider Settings: Above Masthead. Below the Slider dropdown, there’s an input field for Optional Background Video. Enter the URL for you video there. There’s also an option for Video Poster image for mobile view.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

So are we losing out on any options by customizing it this way? The main issue for me is that my video is fairly short and I don’t want it to loop so quickly. Basically a 5 or 10 second pause in-between loops would be great. Is there an option I can set for that?

Cheers,

Hello There,

Regretfully this isn’t a feature offered by X. It could be possible with custom development, but this would be outside the scope of support we can offer. You may wish to consult a developer to assist you with this. X is quite extensible with child themes, so there are plenty of possibilities. Thanks for understanding. Take care!

OK,

I will likely edit the video myself and upload a new one that has a longer pause at the end.

I guess I would suggest not making it mandatory to have a cover image at the beginning of the slider (for a future update) because it could be easily customized if this wasn’t a requirement.

Thank you!

Since the upgrade, I can’t get the video to show up when I select the video on the page. More details here: http://screencast.com/t/J6Sha9VY

Thanks for any help!
