1. How can i present in my portfolio page, a self hosted video through a lightbox, using image gallery (click an image Thumbnail) open preetyphoto( video )?
2. Assuming it is possible, can this self hosted video be played in its original size( say 1024 x 768 )? can i have any control regarding the video size displayed in a lightbox?
3. I also have a gallery of images( using image gallery element), set to be displayed as a nectar slider style, when i click to open pretty photo, it doesn´t open original size image in lightbox. ( same question as above, but this is a single image file ).
When i was researching on the forum about similar request like mine, i saw some posts, answers that you implied it would be possible, you even gave a code, to add on the CSS,
saying something about adding a Class pp to the code or something, and it would work, but i tried that with my very limited skills on css with no sucess.
I managed though to make a gallery of couple nectar sliders and adding the link to the videos hosted by Vimeo, and it worked, as lightbox, but the quality isn´t what i need for the 3d models turntables, plus the videos windows are just too small.
Of course i clould make a gallery of a bunch of self hosted videos( without the lightbox) but it would just make it too heavy to load the page at once, and using the lightbox i assume it would be the best choice for me because it would load each one as i click them.
Sorry but i am a bit confused. You mentioned here "I managed though to make a gallery of couple nectar sliders and adding the link to the videos hosted by Vimeo, and it worked, as lightbox, but the quality isn´t what i need for the 3d models turntables, plus the videos windows are just too small."
What is wrong with this option and why are the videos small ?. Can you provide a link to the page where we can see this.
What i really wanted was to make a self hosted video in a lightbox, because, when i use the videos from Vimeo or Youtube, their compression, just doesn´t give me the quality of the video i need for showcase my stuff, and also the window is very small( from the lightbox) . Maybe if you play in HD you could have a better look at the detais from my video( models), bur, it also takes you to the vimeo page , since it doesn´t play in the lightbox ( my webpage) in HD. if you check the page on turntable gallery, bottom of the page, you can see what i mean.
In my mind, i think that using self hosted videos i could play in a better resolution, or original resolution ( 1024x768), in a lightbox, and have the videos be loaded individually, As mentioned in other reply, i have an issue, since i want to showcase a bunch o videos in a page, they need to be loaded individually, otherwise the page will get too heavy. And using lightbox is the answer to that problem.
Mainlly why i want to use self hosted videos instead of Youtube or vimeo, is because of the quality from the videos( resolution and window size).
Thank you for the detailed explanation . Unfortunately this would require some custom development. If you really need this modification done you could head on over to Envato Studio which is a service from Envato that offers paid WordPress customizations. I'm sure a developer on there would be able to wrap this up for you :)

Thank you
Hey Pedro!
I am afraid the lightbox is not possible. However you can place a row on the portfolio page and add a background video on it.
Can you please provide the gallery page so that we can take a look.
Thanks

You mean the link to the page?

Hey Again!
I might have misunderstood some of the stuff you mentioned. You are right lightbox is the only way if you dont want to make the page heavy.
All the Best,
