The trailer of Kazbek is extremely smooth - that is def. a good choice.
-
all that need changin on it is the remove of the text at the end

@rowey You can download video directly from Youtube and cut useless part
-
@rowey I guess I still have it
-
@Eternal how you downlod dircet from youtube ?
-
@rowey You can google youtube to mp4, there's like a trillion options like: https://iyoutubetomp4.com/en/
-
the only issue a lot of them are limited to 720p Res hence why I was asking about if he had the original file
-
Give me a place where I can place 500mb file. After you can crop what you want on it.

Having an auto playing video on the website doesnt sounds like a good idea

It won't make sound - just an animation sequence like BAR has:

You can't put a 5mb+ file as a background video on the main page...
-
@Brutus5000 can you explain why its a 5mb+ cap for the main page. whats the limitation ? the clip being use was ripped from the C&C website for testing and its 8.7Mb
-
@rowey i think it should be light to load it faster
-
Yeah, you don't wanna have a mobile user suddenly see 500mb disappear from their packet.
Though it's entirely possible to get this video 2 min video to like 30-40MB. Though I still think this is gonna be too much. -
the current clip was using is 20 seconds and is only 8.8mb wich to me doesn't seem that much of a streach
-
can be used webp, or smt that is better. Or some other types of streaming content

You need to make sure it works on mobile. I’ve had videos like this cause all sorts of issues like completely freezing the page or crashing the browser or like others said just eating a ton of data. Don’t assume that you know what is “ok” for someone else’s data usage. Just because your mobile plan can handle it doesn’t mean that others can.
You also need to make sure that it scales properly on small screens and doesn’t make the whole website derp out. You can use CSS to load different resources depending on the screen size, so I’d recommend either loading a lower res version of the video or maybe not loading a video at all on mobile.
