Hi there,

Glad you're enjoying the theme!

Have you optimized the videos for web? Reference: https://www.google.com/search?q=optimize+video+for+web&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

For the trailer, you'll get better results if you host it on a service like Vimeo. Unfortunately .mov is not a supported format for HTML video. more info: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_video.asp

For the background, currently only mp4 and YouTube are supported options. To use a YouTube video for the background, open scripts/custom.js and change the following on line 73 from this...

mp4: "videos/magic-cloth-demo.mp4"

...to this...

video: "//www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID"

Notice you'll need to change "VIDEO_ID" to the id# for the video you want to display.

Hope that helps!

Best,

Christopher

First of all - thank you for the excellent and very easy to manage template you created!
Everything works perfectly, I just would like to improve video loading time:
1. for the video background
2. for the trailer video

Especially our trailer is longer, and we want to present it in a very good resolution, so we finally worked out the .mov is a better way cos it will have less MB than .mp4

Is there a way, that this template also shows .mov? I couldn't get it working until now, and maybe I just don't find the right place.

Thanks in advanced!

Julia
