I've started work on a website using Salient for the first time. It looks like a brilliant them that I'm excited to be working with.
However, I seem to have fallen at the first hurdle. I wanted the site to open iwtha big heading, somne body copy underneath and a big full width background video. I downloaded the video from Shutterstock. Its a .mov file of 71MB. In the past with other themes I have added the video to Vimeo and added the complete url to the webpage and the video just streams and repeats without any problem. I'm not sure whether Vimeo is compatible with Salient but it does have a Youtube link. So I added the video to Youtube and it actually works and adds the video to the background of the page which is great in Visual Composer. The only problem is the transition from start to finish as the video loops. The video is only 18 seconds long and when it gets to the end of the loop the transition from finish to start again is a fraction of a second of a black page. This wont work for the client. Is there a way around this please?

Hey Again,
Try using the Revolution Slider Plugin as it has support for all major video platforms and works well with Salient as well.
