I'd like to have a video banner on my WordPress site pages. I saw the following site (http://pictoryproductions.com/) and they have exactly what I would like to do on my site. However, I'm not sure what plugin they used to accomplish this. Could anyone just point me in the right direction?
I'm fairly new to WordPress, so if anyone can suggest what plugin to use, or if there is functionality already in place in WordPress for this how I can use it to get the effect I want.
UPDATE
As per the requirement to show what has been done so far to achieve the result I want, I have created a PHP page that uses the HTML 5 video tags to embed the video I want, with the PNG overlay. I then embed the page using an iframe tag from within WordPress. The problem is I have to create a new PHP page for each WordPress page I want with this layout when it needs a different video and overlay png image.
Thank you!!!
To avoid an opinionated answer on what I think is the best plugin to use, I just did a simple View Page Source on the site you posted and picked through to find where that video banner is displayed. It references a lot of classes and stuff labeled "mejs" which I think refers to a mediaelement.js plugin found here:

as I already found great help here in the community, I thought I'd post my question here, maybe there'd be somebody who could help me.
I am creating my websites in wordpress and found a great tool for creating an image carousel. As I am more of an intermediate in wordpress and mainly working with plugins, I found the swiper JS plugin in the wordpress plugin directory. It works fine but I have the problem that it won't loop and you can't get to the first and last image of the carousel, it always snaps back to the second and second to last image.

This is the one I am using right now.
My question also is how I can use the Swiper JS in wordpress without using the plugin. I want to have it specifically on one page and it should be mobile friendly. All the design that already is on the page should be remain as it is. Would there be a possibility to include the Swiper Js tool even though I am using a wordpress theme?
Thank you so so much, it is really hugely appreciated!

Only worked with the plugin so far, no css helped...
Using WP custom code.
We assume your words "the plugin" are about that exact SwiperJS plugin.
Have you considered using an iFrame? See lower web links.
An iframe will allow you to add a video, audio, images, etc., so presumably even a slider lands in that category. Try this avenue first to see if it works for your needs. Read about WP iframe use in the links below.
<iframe src="test7.html" width="600" height="300" style="border:1px solid black;" title=""></iframe>
Or...
Other snippet plugin options exist (read developer docs). There are pro/con to some of those options (i.e. time, etc). Read developer resources (from an WP admin perspective) for more ideas.

I've been looking to use various Youtube video plugins on my Wordpress site in order to be able to automatically make the videos responsive.
Using the standard iframe embed code from Youtube will display the videos fine. Proper paragraph is added relative to the text below. This happens automatically. So, when I use or to display images or videos, all is fine with proper paragraph.
Strangely though, if I use brackets/shortcode or to display image or video, paragraph is not respected.
I tried this on my other page which uses the same theme and the same page builder and all works well there, so obviously something is broken on my site.
For me this is like looking for a needle in a haystack, but I have tried disabling the plugins one by one which did not help. I've also tried to look in my child theme css where I do the changes, but could not see anything directly that seemed related to this.
Any suggestions what else I could try?
I want to use videos from www.screencast.com in WordPress want to to show multiple links for videos in single page and when I click on a link it should the video in popup form.
I tried this "Screencast.com Video Embedder " but this is not opening videos in popup from.
Please Help.
Just take the embed code from the screencast.com share option and paste that into your post's html. Then go back to the visual mode and adjust the dimensions if necessary to fit your screen (600 px or whatever).
Better yet, when you look at the Screencast site, instead of grabbing the “Embed On Your Page” code, simply look above at the “Share URL.” This is the content you’ll need to add to the Screencast Short Code. Make sure you grab “http:……../” and everything. So your shortcode should look like this;
[screencast url="http:www.screeencast.com/123XYZabc" width="xxx" height="yyy"]
The next plugin you'll need doesn't get rave reviews, but I do know some people who've used this successfully. I know it's old, but apparently still works. Popup Video Generator. And here's an example of how to use it properly.
I am trying to implement Open Graph and the “Like” button on my wordpress website. I want to have the Like button positioned directly beneath a youtube video posted on one of my wordpress pages.
I have watched the facebook open graph video explaining the code to put onto your page, but it doesn’t explain how to do it in wordpress. I have researched several wordpress plugins that implement open graph into your site, but they all seem to take data from the site itself and automatically implement it into the open graph data. It also seems to me that using the “Like” button wordpress plugins, the like button is automatically placed either at the top or bottom of the page or in the sidebar.
Can anyone please help me understand exactly how to implement the open graph code into wordpress in a manner where I can control all the parameters of the code (image, url, site name, description, etc), and how to implement the Like button directly underneath of the video on my webpage?
Thanks,
It doesn't matter if it's "for Wordpress" or not. Wordpress is a framework, not a language. Use the Like Button Tool to generate the code you need for ANY Page - Wordpress or otherwise - and read up on the Open Graph Protocol to give you an idea on how to write your <head> section.
Facebook's Debugging Tool will also help you with any caching issues you may be experiencing, along with lots of extra information you might find useful in regards to your website.
I am looking for a tutorial on how to style my word press (hosted on word press) blog to look like my businesses home page. I would like the links to work and look the same. The site isn't completely styled in CSS, but can maybe move more of the styling to css from the HTML. Can someone point me in the right direction where I need to start.
Thanks,
If I'm not mistaken, isn't there an upload theme section at wordpress.com? Anyways, you'll need to zip up your theme (after you make it) and upload it there. Also, here's a tutorial for making a basic theme.
