When I drop an mp4 video into a Video component, it somehow forms a background to the whole page. The only way of getting rid of this is to shut the program down and restart.  
Now I have discovered this is not the way (at the moment) to add a video file to a page. However, since everything else is pretty much drag and drop onto the page, why not here too?
