Add a video to highlight past project examples, client testimonials, and more. You can also reuse video content by extracting pages and blocks of your templates into other smart files, saving you time.
Add a video block
While building a smart file, select the page you want to add a video to
Select the large plus icon > select Video
Decide if you want to reuse a video from a template
Updating the block after you reuse it won't update the original template
Choose the video layout from the settings sidebar
If you want to change the block layout after editing it, delete the block and add a new one
Add the URL for the video into the Video URL field
You can use videos hosted on YouTube, Vimeo, Wistia, Loom, or SoundCloud
Customize the video > continue building the smart file
Make sure the video you're using is not listed as private. Also, if you're hosting the video on YouTube, you must allow embedding (this can be found in the video details).
Customize the video
Once you've added the video, select it to open the settings sidebar and customize it:
Choose whether the client can use full video controls or just play/pause
Decide if the video should start automatically when the client reaches the page this video lives on
A best practice is to not automatically start videos unless necessary
Decide if the video should loop once it's done
Select the gear icon for the block that the video lives in to change its settings (like its background color)
