Hi,

I am trying to add a hero video in Elements. I’ve added a video to a container background but there are no controls to disable looping etc.

Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks,

John

If you go to the side bar where you files are and click on the video bit you will get all the controls in your resource panel to loop/start on opening/hover etc etc. You need to drill doen to video component not the container level.
