Yes, there is a way to mask a video underneath text in Webflow and change the background color from white to a different color behind the text without showing the video.
To achieve this, you can follow the steps below:
- Add a div block to your page and give it a class name.
- Inside the div block, add a text element and your desired text content.
- In the style panel, set the position of the div block to relative.
- Add a video element inside the div block and choose your desired video source.
- In the style panel, set the position of the video element to absolute and adjust its size to fit the div block.
- Next, select the div block and go to the settings panel.
- Under the background section, set the background color to your desired color.
- Scroll down to the overflow section and set it to hidden. This will hide any content that overflows from the div block.
- Lastly, place the text element on top of the video element by adjusting its position using the style panel. You can use the z-index property to control the stacking order of the elements.
By following these steps, you will be able to mask a video underneath text in Webflow and change the background color behind the text. This technique is useful for creating engaging and visually appealing designs on your website.
Example code:
<div class="video-container"> <h1>Text Overlay</h1> <video src="your-video-source.mp4"></video></div>
CSS Styles:
.video-container { position: relative; background-color: #000; overflow: hidden;}video { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: auto; object-fit: cover; z-index: -1;}h1 { position: absolute; top: 50%; left: 50%; transform: translate(-50%, -50%); color: #fff; font-size: 2rem;}
