Photo Gallery Forums

Hi there, 

I have a few videos I've uploaded in a folder and they appear at the start of the gallery regardless of the custom order. Is there a way to get them to appear in the custom order? 

Secondly, is there any way to get them not to appear as full screen? The vertical videos currently don't fit on the screen well on desktop. 

Here's an example gallery (no vertical video here though)

Thank you,

Hi. Good questions. Unfortunately, X3 has limited video support. We can't add videos mixed in with images, because videos don't have thumbnails, can't integrate properly in "advanced" gallery layouts, and they don't exhibit the same "click" behavior. (In a future release, I would have like add better video support, although there are some challenges).

Therefore, for now, we have to add videos separately, either above or below the actual gallery.

Indeed. Please try to add something like this to your Settings > Custom > Custom CSS: The reason the videos are 100% wide in the first place, is because they inherit the width of your gallery, which is set to 100%. I agree it makes sense to limit the width of videos so they don't occupy the entire stage (or more).

Thank you for your response and help here. Is there custom CSS to put the videos at the bottom below the photos? I might be interested in that option.

You can go to Page settings > Gallery and add in "Styles and Effects" video-bottom.
