Vimeo Content in Portfolio

[funkytown]

If I use a vimeo url in the portfolio showing black bar in top and bottom of video. This bug is in the thumbnails and in the main page. I guess the windows is not in 16:9 size.

If I use the videoplayer in a page builder, the vimeo video will be show fine without black borders.

Hi,

I think this depends on the video itself. See our demo page, it gets left/right black borders: http://themes.swiftpsd.com/flexform/shortcodes/images-videos-lightbox/

Now see my playground for Flexform, using a Videoplayer section with Page Builder: http://s.icosmin.com/flexform/about-2/

That also gets borders, as you can see. If you’ve set the Videoplayer to a bigger size, that might be the difference, as the embeds are smaller on page, compared to it.

Regards,

The problem is, the portfolio has a fixed box. This box has not the size 16:9. The result: Every time black borders. The same problem had a user with the clique themes, and the support founds a solution: http://support.swiftpsd.com/?knowledgebase=embedding-vimeo-at-169 I need to change the css.

The main problem is: If I use a portfolio side only with videos, looks very bad. If I only had thumbnail photos, would be look great.

Please help me to find the css entry.

The thumbnails size isn’t set by css, it’s set by a parameter in the portfolio page builder asset. You can change this by opening the following file:

/includes/page-builder/composer/lib/shortcodes/portfolio.php

and search for:

$video_height =

This is set based on the setup of the item, so you will need to change it in a few places.

Hope that helps.
