    Hi.

    I read the forum and it seems the only way to add a poster image when using the visual builder is to use the [video] tag from wordpress.

    However, I get really nasty layout issues, but maybe I’m doing it wrong:

    I first select a text block and insert the []video mp4=”file name” poster=”image name”] link.

    This works fine but two problems occur:

    a. the video is not sized properly for the column width like the normal video block does with the visual editor, so when I try and set width 100% I get this mess:

    b. when I click back on the text block the [video] tag is converted into 30 lines of html by the visual editor making it impossible to adjust.

    Any suggestions/help with setting a poster image and play button on a video loaded with the video block so it looks professional?

    Thanks

    Ok figured it out.

    If anyone wants to know:

    Instead of using the [video] tag as suggested in the posts, use the html5 <video> tag. This remains intact (visual editor does not change it) and the divs and poster images are properly formatted.

    Cheers.
