Hi guys. I am trying to place a vertical video from video inside the video component. I can adjust the aspect ratio inside the video component, but no matter what I try, the video does not fill the Frame and appears tiny. I attach 2 images, one with a cat image, showing how the video size should actually be, one where the video plays and appears far too small. Any suggestions how to fix this? Thanks a lot.

@JGWeiland can you share a sample project displaying the issue with the video via Element Cloud ?

Sure, this is the link where the video is embedded: Thanks you! (as the issue is solved, I have removed the link to the project now)

I have the same issue and needed to develop a custom component for this. @dan it would be great if the video component could support these portrait mode videos and the poster images to be properly displayed.

In the interim, could you just fix it like this? (since you are already applying a video-vertical class to that video component).

```css
.video-vertical .h-auto {
    height: 100%;
}

```
