[Resolved] Preloading Header from GP Hooks

[Mary Pearson]

Hi Tom,

I don’t know if this is something that has a solution or not but figured it couldn’t hurt to ask.

At http://204.44.87.244/~robert/ my header .mp4 (skates sliding to a stop) first shows a black background, then the .jpg image (but it’s distorted), and finally the video. This all happens within a split second but I’m a perfectionist and I don’t like it. I would prefer to have nothing, and then the video, without the black and then the distorted image. It happens in all browsers. I thought it might be the “preload” element so I changed it to “no” but it doesn’t seem to matter.

Is there a way that I can have NOTHING (or the ice background) appear in that space before the actual video header appears?

Thanks!

Try this:

.vjs-poster {
      display: none !important;
}

Thanks Tom. Didn’t work and I need the poster image on the site.

Not to worry. It’s OK as is.

Thank you!
