Keep aspect ratio grid cell

[zero_to_one]

Hey there,

I got Gridorama and I would like to keep the aspect ratio ((portrait, 9:16) of my video cell. This way I can prevent the black bars around the video from showing.

Thanks for your help!

Best regards
Denis

Hi Denis,

Thanks for reaching out.
You need to adjust the Scale value so the video will be adjusted into the cell without the black part with it.

I went ahead and set it to 150 and now the video is coming without the black bar.

Thanks

Hello,
i don’t want parallax tho. I just want to set a fixed aspect ratio to this cell

Hi Denis,

The Scale option is only available with the Parallax, and where you can increase the height of the background. The black bar problem will not happen with the self hosted videos, I would suggest you use any self-hosted video instead of Youtube one.
I would also suggest you go through the following thread on a similar topic.

Video background shows black bars

Hello There, Thanks for updating in! Please be advised that when using video background in a section, you can only use a direct video file source. You cannot use Youtube or Vimeo video. When you do, it will create issues like the black bar that you are having. It should be noted that the section video background needs a direct video url like http://example.com/video.mp4 and only *.mp4, *.ogv or *.webm video file format must be used for cross browser compatibility. If you video is hosted in Yout…

Hope it helps.
Thanks

Hi,
I think you did not understand me correctly. I only want to size a grid cell. Make a grid cell have a certain width, height relation above all breakpoints

Hi Denis,

You can set the width and the height of the cell from Size attribute of individual cell. There you can also mention the specific height and width in the specific breakpoints too.

NOTE: You can set the width and height to any combination of your aspect ratio with the above options.

Hope it helps.
Thanks
