    Hello Guys,

    I am using Page Header Settings on my WELCOME PAGE to have a video header. I uploaded Mp4 and WebM, both are about 30Mb. 

    When I log onto my WELCOME page (http://icebergfilms.com,) it takes about 20 seconds for video to start playing - pretty long time for visitors to watch only grey background.

    Is there anything I could do, so that the video starts to play right away, like on most sites? I even tried to make smaller files, but it still takes long for video to play.

    Thank you so much for any tips or advise.

    Paul

    Thanks for contacting us regarding your query.

    In these circumstances its a bit tricky to get video to load optimally as there are several factors to take into consideration.

    Here is a great source online that converts videos for the best compact size and quality.

    Thank you Andrew so much for the info and for the links.

    Just one quick question, may I?

    I noticed that some websites using video in Salient's Page Header have "spinning wheel", notifying visitors that there is a content uploading (my header does't have it, it is just a grey background). 

    Is there any way of activating this spinning wheel feature?

    Thank you so much for your support.

    Hey Again,

    That is likely Page Transitions . You can turn it on in Salient Theme Options Panel -> Page Transitions Section .
