Does anyone know how to clip a video so that it fits inside a banner at the top of my page. I've tried cropping it to 1280 x 640 in Premiere Pro but I get black borders on top and bottom. I've tried "overflow: hidden", "height = __ vh", "transform: translateY(-50%). That one sort of worked.

I'm not aware that you can clip videos to just any size. I think they have to be in some kind of standard aspect ratio.

You can certainly insert a video in a <div></div> which is set to a specific height and crop it by using overflow hidden on the videos parent container BUT the video would have to be able to withstand the severe automated cropping so it still made visual sense, which means the video would really require a central focused viewpoint.

Thanks for your help. I was able achieve my goal by just putting div just
below it. It covers the bottom of the video. I'm not sure how that's going
to look when I put in the tablet and mobile queries. I'll have to wait and
see.

Cheers,
