What are some solutions for adding 3D objects with animation to a Webflow project in mp4 format and being able to style and adjust their width and height without getting cropped or showing unwanted YouTube elements?

To add 3D objects with animation to a Webflow project in mp4 format and have control over their styling, width, and height without being cropped or showing unwanted YouTube elements, you can use a combination of Webflow's built-in video element and custom CSS. Here's how you can achieve this:

1. Prepare the 3D object animation in mp4 format:

• Use your preferred software or online tools to create your 3D object animation and export it as an mp4 video file. Ensure the video is properly encoded and optimized for the web.

1. Upload the mp4 file to your Webflow project:

• In the Webflow Designer, go to the Assets panel and upload your mp4 file. Wait for it to finish uploading.

1. Add the video element to your Webflow project:

• Drag and drop a video element onto your desired page or section in the Designer.
• You can find the video element under Components in the Add panel, or by using the shortcut "V" and searching for "Video" in the Element panel.

1. Set the video source:

• With the video element selected, go to the settings panel on the right-hand side.
• Under the Video section, click the Select/Upload Video button.
• Choose the mp4 file you uploaded in Step 2 from the Asset Manager.
• The video will now be set as the source for the video element.

1. Style and adjust width and height:

• With the video element selected, go to the settings panel.
• Under the Position section, you can adjust the width and height of the video element as per your requirements.
• You can also set additional styling options such as background color, borders, and filters.

1. Customize the video controls:

• Under the Controls section in the settings panel, you can choose whether to display or hide the video controls (play, pause, volume, etc.) based on your preference.
• If you want custom controls or interactions, you can hide the default controls and create your own using custom code or Webflow interactions.

1. Handle unwanted YouTube elements:

• If you're experiencing unwanted YouTube elements (such as related videos or branding) when using YouTube-hosted videos, you can consider hosting the video file directly on Webflow using the method described above.
• By hosting the video on Webflow, you have more control over what is displayed without any additional elements or branding.

With these steps, you should be able to add 3D objects with animation to your Webflow project in mp4 format while having control over their styling, width, and height without any cropping or unwanted YouTube elements.
