Hello. I created a video slider. The thumbnail images that load are blurry and then clear after a second or two. However, the second image/video it never does? Would you have any idea why this might be occurring? http://jds-productions.com/
Thanks!
Hello,
Thank you for trying to use our plugin,
You will need to configure this time from the slider options, Just increase the time and try
What format do the video need to be if you don’t want to use YouTube or Vimeo? On the Vimeo drop down it says Vimeo url or any video url. The owner of the website doesn’t like that YouTube displays other video with there’s so I need t o use another method to upload the videos. Thanks
Hello,
you can upload your video file (mp4, avi) and then copy the video URL to use it
thanks
Thank you. I have another question on that. When I did this it uploads the Vimeo image for Indexing style, thumbnails. Is there a way to upload an image for the different videos? I don’t want them all to be the same image, that defeats the purpose of using the thumbnails. Thanks again
Sorry I have another question/ issue. I uploaded the mp4 video through an url link & the videos are auto playing. I have it selected no for auto play. Why is this doing it?
Thank you
I had to remove them due to the auto play. When they auto play the videos get cut short do to I can’t change the time inbetween the videos due to some are very short & some are much longer.
Thanks again.
Great plugin, is there a way to get a drop shadow around the entire slider, or even a rounded border.
Hello,
Thank you for your comment,
You will need to make the corner effect using any design program (like the photoshot) and then use the photos in your slider
Thanks
Is it possible to apply multiple transition times between slides? I’m using a mixture of video and images – the video needs to remain on screen much longer than the images.
Listed on the plugin page (https://wordpress.org/plugins/giga-slider/) is a feature to:
“Auto-pause slideshow while videos or audios are playing”
I can’t see where to select this option?
Thanks
Hello,
Thank you for using our plugin,
Regarding the first question, you can change the Transition period (this will be for all slides [images & videos]) and you can’t set different transation time for every slide,
We will upgrade the current version and develop this feature (you will receive and update soon)
Regarding the option “Auto-pause slideshow while videos or audios are playing” we disable it before two months because of browsers & smart phones compatibility, we are sorry we forget removing it from the features
