A video from the Media Library that plays inside the gallery item.

Add one

  • Media source: click Add Media and pick a video file (mp4, webm, ogg, ogv, mpeg, mpg, avi, mov, wmv, flv, mkv, m4v, 3gp, ts, mts, m2ts).
  • Posts: in the project’s Custom Media → Normal, pick a video file.

Behaviour

  • The item shows a play icon (Display Icon) and is treated as the Video format.
  • In the lightbox the item plays the Video URL if one is set, otherwise the file itself.
  • With a custom URL on the item, the link opens in a new tab and no lightbox is used.
  • MP4 (H.264) plays everywhere; the browser decides about the other formats.
  • Hover videos (Custom Media → Hover, or the Hover media of an image) play on hover only.

Video URLs (YouTube, Vimeo and the Pro vendors) are a different feature: they play in the lightbox only. See Project Formats.
