    Bootstrap doesn't have anything that would make a responsive embed with a gray shadow. This is the code for embeds:

    Can you show us an example page of this gray shadow you are seeing?

    Thank you all for help.

    I mean that I use insert "Responsive video embed" from dreamweaver interface  option  ("Inserisci"  in italian).

    I post an example:

    Documento senza titolo

    Before start the video and on mouse over you can see the gray shadow.

    Thank you again.

    The video looks ok in Firefox. I dont see any of that grey fading effect in the image you posted.

    Neither do I.   I tested in Firefox & MS Edge, no shadows.  But I do see shadows in Chrome.  So this is a browser thing and not a Bootstrap. thing.

    I never use Bootstrap, so I assume Bootstrap comes with canned CSS for videos. I realize a lot of Dreamweaver users have been snookered into using Bootstrap, but this is your opportunity to break free. There are factions on these forums that endorse Bootstrap,  but that does not make them right .

    Explain exactly what you are trying to do, providing a test page, an you might be surprised at the solutions available beyond Bootstrap.

    I wish there was a 'thumbs down' icon that we could click on.

    Wappler is the DMXzone-made Dreamweaver replacement and includes the best of their powerful extensions, as well as much more!

    Hi Ben,

    You can vote or criticize me personally if it makes you feel better. I still like you :-) Again.... this is a Dreamweaver forum, not a Bootstrap forum and if I can save someone from using Bootstrap, I will. But before you nail me, at least wait and see if Jhon Carlo takes me up on my offer. I cannot in good conscience comment on Bootstrap statistics. I will say only that in my opinion it is probably better described as a pandemic that as a trend

    I don't know what you mean by gray shadows.   Can you post a URL to your test page?  Or show us a screenshot?
