    Hi,
    I am trying to have an effect similar to this “http://www.fiftythree.com/paper” on my slider.
    I would like to have a video button on an object in layer 1. Since it is not a vimeo or a youtube video but a mp4 (from powerpoint), i cannot link my object directly to an URL. So I added layer #2 and used “add media” in “content. It is adding the video and I can play it properly. However, layer #2 shows the frame of the video when not played. I would like a simple button (I can draw it myself) on the object, that doesn’t show anything but the button on top of the object when not triggered.
    I am ready to go with vimeo if that would simplify matters. I have tried to link my object with an enfold vimeo just as a test, and the effect was not as good as the one from the link above.
    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Hey paslet!

    I don’t quite follow. Any video can be and *is* linked to by its url. Vimeo or not you would be pointing to the video file link.

    Cheers!

    Thanks Devin,
    My next question is then:I how do I get to the URL address of my mp4 file (file stored on my computer)?
    I tried using the “add media from the content file of layer#2, which allowed me to upload my file, then I copied the resulting codes and paste them into the “link” from layer#1, where is the object I want to link to the video.
    When I visited the page and tried the link by clicking on the object, there was a “404: files not found” message.
    Does it make sense?
    Thanks.

    Hi!

    Thank you for using the theme!

    If you want to host your own video, you’ll need to purchase or subscribe to the VideoPress plugin for WordPress. If you want to post videos for free, use vimeo or youtube.

    Regards,
    Ismael
