Ok I have literally banged my head on my desk for a day with this. I have searched the forums and gone to the revolution slider documentation, but I still must be missing something. I am trying to have a revolution slider that has a couple of youtube videos that you can simply navigate left or right to each one. basically like a regular slider. The problem I am having is no matter what I set the video size to it always wants to show it as 300 pix wide. I don’t want a full screen effect I just want it to be large in size (specifically 840×473 on a desktop). Can you help me out? Below are links to some screenshots.

Here is something similar to what I am trying to accomplish: http://screencast.com/t/lCNl8j68xwqE

Here is a screen shot of my video layer settings: http://screencast.com/t/RlXCQllG
Here is a link to a page with the slider on it: http://businesswebinar.info/?page_id=119

Thanks very much for your time.

Hi there,

Thanks for writing in! Regretfully, we have limited support for specific customizations. Though rev slider is a bundled plugin, it has it’s own limitations and we may have to refer you back to the plugin developer. Our support scope covers only basic functions and issues pertaining to how the slider is integrated with X. Thank you for understanding.

Having said that, we do want to point you in the right direction. Rev slider has it’s own rules for calculating video sizes especially when set to auto responsive. You could try setting it to custom and setting different breakpoints, or maybe using custom CSS to adjust it manually.

Alternatively you may want to try downloading one of the video slider demos from rev slider site and edit that directly or see how they have the settings configured.

I have downloaded a template there, but what do I do next? Where can I upload this into WP?
Thanks!

Hi there,

You can refer to their documentation for detailed information (http://revolution.themepunch.com/documentation/#import_demos). There you can see step-by-step instructions.

Hope that helps.

Ok I had similar issue with revolution youtube layer. I was unable to change the size of the youtube video but a I found an alternative solution. Here are the steps:

1. First delete the youtube layer you already made.
2. Go to the youtube video page what you want to embed to your slider
3. Click on share and choose the embed tag. Scroll down and choose the correct size for you
4. Copy the whole iframe stuff from the text field
5. Head back to your slider and click on new layer. NOT New Video Layer Just Layer
6. Delete all the text (Caption text blah blah)
7. Paste this code and instead of the X and Y write the pixel number width and height of your video.(For example what is included in your iframe tag)
   <div style="width:Xpx;height:Ypx;"><your opening iframe code></iframe></div>
8. From now on you can control your video wrapper with this div. It worked for me. However with this method you will be unable to drag this box. Instead of grabbing the box try to change the x and y coordinates below.

I hope I can help.
