Uploading a Video to Vev
Unlike other video elements in Vev, you won't be able to select your video from the Video Library. To upload your video;
Click on the Drop video files here tile
Select your video from your computer
Open it
You can also simply drop it over this tile and your video will be uploaded.
One of the major pain points with a feature like this is page speed and performance. To help solve this, there is no time limit on your videos, but we generate a maximum of 12 frames per second of video (1 frame = 1 image), up to a maximum number of 300 frames. Meaning that if you upload a video that is 5 hours long, you get one image per minute until 05:00:00 (since 5 hours = 300 minutes).
Therefore you'll need a video that lasts at least 25 seconds long for optimal results, we are actively working to bring out a new version that will support shorter videos.
Styling a Video Scroll
As a section
Spacing top: Add padding to the top of the section in pixels or % to keep spacing between sections
Spacing bottom: Add padding to the bottom of the section in pixels or % to keep spacing between sections
Width: The width of a section can't be altered, it'll always be set to cover the 100%
Height: Set the height of the section in Pixels, % or set it to Auto so that it grows as you add content to it
Min H: Sets the minimum amount of height pixels a section can be. A red stippled horizontal line inside your section will reflect the minimum height
Clip content: Toggle to hide the content that goes beyond the section's edges
Resize to fill vertically: Click to set the section's height to 100%
