Background video options outside Color Section layout?

Hey WebDevDept,
Thank you for your patience, as I understand your situation you would like to have some 1/2 column background videos with text blocks next to them like in a checkerboard pattern, tested using a grid row element with text on one side and a code block on the other with an html code for a background video.
This is the backend view:

this is the frontend view:

the html is based on this codepen, and if you are using the Avia Layout Builder Debugger you can add my test page to your site to examine with this shortcode:

This is 1/2 of the grid row, the other half has a background video.
