Shopify themes, liquid, logos, and UX
I can't find a way to get the full quality video from the video object. The JSON for a video object looks like this:
{ "alt": null, "id": 23865085820998, "position": null, "preview_image": { "aspect_ratio": 2.707, "height": 362, "width": 980, "src": "//myteststore.myshopify.com/cdn/shop/files/preview_images/04f8913d831042689966fcd5f5ef2a71.thumbnail.0000000000.jpg?v=1714702453" }, "aspect_ratio": 2.704, "duration": 34000, "media_type": "video", "sources": [ { "format": "mp4", "height": 480, "mime_type": "video/mp4", "url": "https://cdn.shopify.com/videos/c/vp/*removed*.SD-480p-1.5Mbps-28503631.mp4", "width": 1298 } ] }
The only video found in the source is a compressed 480p 1.5Mbps version that Shopify has generated. My original file is a custom resolution that's actually smaller (980x362) but higher quality. Is there any way to access the original file? These files aren't large (around 9mb). Using video_tag also gets this compressed version.
