I\'ve a video which I\'ve embedded in a fullwidth div panel. I\'m trying to overlay a gradient on top of it, but I can\'t make it work. I\'ve tried adjusting z-index, wrappi
Here is a fiddle
I used green overlay for the demo.
CSS
.videoContainer {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
//padding: 20px;
border-radius: 5px;
background-attachment: scroll;
overflow: hidden;
}
.videoContainer video {
min-width: 100%;
min-height: 100%;
position: relative;
z-index: 1;
}
.videoContainer .overlay {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
z-index: 2;
background: green;
opacity: 0.5;
}
I came across this very same issue and eventually managed to get an aesthetically similar effect simply setting the video with opacity:0.5
over a colored background.
.vid-bg {
opacity: 0.5; /* ! */
position: fixed;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
min-width: 100%;
min-height: 100%
}
<body style="background-color: green">
<video playsinline="playsinline" autoplay="autoplay" muted="muted" loop="loop" class="vid-bg">
<source src="http://inserthtml.com/demos/javascript/background-videos/flowers.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>
</body>
