    Hey y’all! Hope you’re having a great week…

    So, I am at a loss. (Again.) I have a background video from Vimeo Pro using their “background=1” convention that removes all controls and allows for autoplay. But every time the video loads I get an ugly black screen.

    Is there any way to stop that from happening? Or to have Enfold show a picture or different color of my choosing during the loading process?

    Also unsure as to why the video needs to load at all. I used handbrake to get it down to 3 megabytes. Shouldn’t that load instantly on a desktop?

    Thanks guys!!!!

    Hey moniot,

    Please try adding this code to the Quick CSS section under Enfold > General Styling or to your child theme’s style.css file:

    #top .av-video-slide .avia-slide-wrap {
    background: #ffffff url(../images/layout/preload-dark-grey-big.gif) no-repeat center center;
}

    Best regards,

    Hey Yigit!

    So what that did was give me a grey screen for a couple of seconds before it dipped to black again just before the movie started.

    Any other ideas?

    Thx,

    Rob

    Hi Rob,

    The video loads fine, but the image used for the parallax section after it loads slow, and shows the grey background. You might want to optimize it.

    Best regards,
