Dan C., I have many mp4 videos which I use in my Classic web site. However when I drag any of these mp4 videos to a Video element in Elements, it immediately starts playing sound but has no picture.

Everything seems to work when I add a url to Resources from YouTube but how do I get rid of the Overlay dropzone in the middle of the video, or do I not even need to get rid of it???  
I might even ask the same question of the Desktop dropzone in the Navigator element.
