How can I resolve video sizing issues on my e-commerce product pages?

Hi there!

My team and I have been having issue with video sizing for the e-commerce. We are trying to play video as a main page for each product shot but the video looks bigger compare to photos. If there is anything you can do on your end to fix this problem? We ran out of options. 

We would really appreciate any help!

Hey, can you share the code you are using or any url? Hard to tell without knowing exactly what's going on

Although I don't know the exact root cause, I can generally tell you some details, depending on where you look. Be sure of the way you are embedding the videos. (Direct upload, YouTube link, third-party plugin, etc.)

To the best of my knowledge, try the below steps:

If you're uploading the video directly, most platforms allow you to specify the video dimensions during upload. Make sure the width and height are proportionate to the desired size on the product page.
If you're using a YouTube link, you can add parameters to the URL to control the video size. This will remove unnecessary UI elements and let you focus on the video itself.

Next, you can check your theme settings to see if there are any options for adjusting video size, aspect ratio, or positioning. Most of the Shopify themes give you options to adjust accordingly.

To resolve video sizing issues on your e-commerce product pages, particularly for a site like Capcut Template Store that offers Capcut templates, consider these steps:

1. Responsive Design: Ensure that your product pages are mobile-friendly and use responsive design techniques. This allows the video player to adjust its size depending on the device screen size (desktop, tablet, mobile).

2. Set Maximum Width: If you're embedding videos, set a maximum width in the CSS (e.g., max-width: 100%) for the video player. This ensures the video scales to fit different screen sizes while maintaining its aspect ratio.

3. Aspect Ratio Consistency: Capcut templates might have varying aspect ratios depending on their purpose (e.g., vertical for Instagram Stories vs. horizontal for YouTube). To prevent video distortion, use CSS padding techniques to maintain the correct aspect ratio (e.g., padding-bottom: 56.25% for a 16:9 aspect ratio).

4. Custom Embed Codes: If using platforms like YouTube or Vimeo to embed your product videos, check the embed code options. These often include responsive video options or allow you to set specific dimensions that scale with the screen.

5. Test Across Devices: Ensure to test how videos appear on different devices (desktop, mobile, tablet) to verify the sizes are consistent and the user experience is optimal.

By implementing these practices, your Capcut template videos will display correctly across devices, offering a smoother experience for potential customers browsing your product pages.
