Hello there, guys. Does anyone have any idea how we can create content like this?

The effect is awesome and I do have some content similar.

From what I’ve seen it is a static image with video on hover.

Hi @Mariuslupoiu ,

Please send me the theme name you are using, I will check it

Minimog. It does not have this feature. But I wanna create it. Is there some special trick to it?

Or you want to create a new section that is exactly the same

Does this have static image and video autoplaying on hover like the link that I added on the first post?

Hi @Mariuslupoiu ,

No, i’m just asking do you want it done in this section or in a new section?
