To add a video background with text and a navigation bar over it in Webflow, follow these steps:

  1. Create a new section: Start by creating a new section where you want the video background to be displayed. You can do this by clicking on the "+" button in the Webflow Designer and selecting "Section".

  2. Set the section to full screen: In the section settings, make sure the section is set to full screen. This will allow the video to fill the entire page background.

  3. Add a video element: Drag and drop a video element into the section. You can find the video element in the elements panel on the left side of the Webflow Designer. Upload your video file or provide a URL to the video.

  4. Adjust video settings: Once you've added the video, you can customize its settings. Choose if you want the video to autoplay, loop, or have any additional controls.

  5. Add text and navigation bar: Add a text element for your desired title or caption. You can also use a heading element for a larger title. Drag and drop a navigation bar element into the section to create your navigation menu.

  6. Position elements: Use the width and height settings of the text element to position it on top of the video. Adjust the positioning and styles of the navigation bar to suit your design.

  7. Customize styles: To make the text and navigation bar visible against the video background, you may need to adjust their styling. Consider using contrasting colors or adding a semi-transparent background color to the text element.

  8. Test and preview: Once you have positioned and styled the elements to your liking, use the Webflow Designer's preview mode to see how the video background, text, and navigation bar appear together.

By following these steps, you can easily add a video background with text and a navigation bar over it in Webflow.
