To keep the width of the background video in Webflow at 100% while still having a transparent navigation bar, you can follow these steps:
- Create a section for the background video:
- Add a section element to your Webflow project.
- Set the section's position to relative.
- Set the section's width to 100% and height to 0. This will ensure that the section takes up the full width of the viewport.
- Add a video element to the section:
- Drag and drop a video element into the section.
- Upload or select your video file.
- Set the video element's position to absolute.
- Set the video element's width and height to 100%.
- Customize the video element's styling:
- Select the video element and go to the Style panel.
- Set the z-index of the video element to a value higher than your navigation bar, so it appears behind the navigation bar.
- Set the top and left position of the video element to 0. This will ensure that the video covers the entire section.
- Set the object-fit property to cover. This will make sure that the video fills the video element without distortion.
- Create a transparent navigation bar:
- Add a navbar element to your project.
- Customize the navbar's styling as desired.
- Set the background color of the navbar to transparent. You can do this by setting the background color's alpha channel to 0.
- Make sure the navbar is positioned above the video element by setting its z-index to a higher value.
By following these steps, you can keep the width of the background video at 100% in Webflow while still having a transparent navigation bar. This will create a visually appealing effect where the video appears to be behind the navbar while covering the entire width of the page.
