Is it possible to make a background video in Webflow "fixed" like how you can for images?
Yes, it is possible to make a background video "fixed" in Webflow, similar to how you can make an image fixed. By setting the video as the background of a section or a div in Webflow, you can achieve the effect of a fixed background video. Here's how you can do it:
Create a section or a div: Start by creating a section or a div where you want the background video to be placed. You can do this by selecting the desired element in the Webflow designer and clicking on the plus button to add a new element.
Add the video: Once you have the section or div in place, you can add the video to it. Select the section/div and go to the right-hand panel in the Webflow designer. Look for the "Background" section and click on the "+" button next to the "Image" field.
Choose the video: In the image selector, you'll have the option to select a video instead of an image. Click on the video tab and either choose a video from your Webflow assets or upload a video file from your computer. Once selected, the video will be set as the background of the section/div.
Adjust background settings: With the video set as the background, you can adjust various settings to achieve the fixed effect. In the right-hand panel, look for the "Background" section again and click on the "Settings" button next to the "Image" field.
Set position to fixed: In the background settings popup, you'll find the option to set the position of the background. Select "Fixed" from the drop-down menu to make the video fixed. You can also adjust other background settings like size, repeat, and opacity to further customize the effect.
Preview and publish: Once you have finished setting up the background video, you can preview it in the Webflow designer to see how it looks. If you're satisfied with the result, simply publish your site to make the fixed background video live on the web.
By following these steps, you can create a fixed background video in Webflow, adding an engaging and dynamic element to your website.
