background ambient video

[Abemis]

Hello,

I've tried posting this in sub-threads, but my question/post seems to mysteriously be vanishing.

So I'm starting a new question/topic.

I need to have background video (ambient video) in a section veiwable on mobile.

It's urgent.

I understand it's not directly do-able in Weebly site editor, BUT, shouldn't it be easy to do this by directly editing the HTML/CSS (in themes) using this approach??

Thanks much for any help.

Also here is a screenshot of my other attempts to post this question. For some reason my question/response keeps 'disappearing' I must not be posting it correctly.

@Abemis Sometimes the system auto marks posts as spam. Sorry if that happened to you! Can you clarify what you mean by ambient video? This is just meant to be a video that plays in, for example, a header background? I don't believe I've ever come across a post that shows how to play a background video in mobile, unfortunately. Can you convert the video to a .gif file and use that instead?

Hi, thanks for the reply.

Yes I ended up converting it to GIF. It seems rediculous because the gif file is huge compared to an MP4, so I had to chop it down to just 200 frames or so, and it's still 10Mb. The same much better looking and resolution MP4 is like 2Mb...

What I really want is for my site to look like this with the nice ambient background:

Well it is what it is right now. Any advice is great.

just fyi my main site is: http://abemis.com

best, T.
