Grey shadows in the video bootstrap component

[Jhon Carlo]

Hi,

Is it possible to eliminate the gray shadow of the videos bootstrap component that appears before play a video?

Thanks.

[Nancy OShea]

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

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.

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

It sounds so much nicer when you say je t'aime toujours 

I know where you are coming from and, from your point of view, I agree. Instead of attacking Bootstrap, why don't you say that you have a better product called PVII Harmony: User Class. From me this will get a

According to those stats 83% of websites dont use it. So 83% v 17%...................hummm.

Taking short cuts are ok IF you know what you are using and doing. I wonder how many of those 17% really do, even those who claim to be professional. We are somewhat going through a grey period in web-development in my opinion where its suppose to be ok now to use as many frameworks as possible, even though most will NOT understand what they are doing and how they function. It's ok now to fill your code with as many classes and as many front-end onclick, onrepeat, bind this bind that directives as humanly possible, Its ok now to include as many links to scripts/css as you can  possibly manage....the list goes on. I somethimes wonder IF this is just because the new kids on the block don't really want to use the tried and trusted workflows that their fathers or gandfathers used or if there are any real benefits, especially in terms of 99% of websites, maybe the other 1% warrant the use of such worflows. Too me using too many frameworks/plugins limits ones desire to learn which in turn is very neagative because if you are faced with a situation which cant be solved via a framework/plugin..........you're like a fish out of water.

Happy days!!

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

https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.1/utilities/embed/

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

[Nancy OShea]

Maybe Jhon Carlo is trying to put video inside a Carousel which has gray sides for Previous & Next controls.

[Jhon Carlo]

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.

See this quick example:

Test Document

In the comment I placed above the declaration that sets border-bottom to none, note my mention of an artifact. The artifact could be the shadow you are mentioning. If so, it is a part of the actual video.

[Nancy OShea]

I see only the player controls, no shadows.  I'm using the latest Firefox browser.

[Jhon Carlo]

I don't know why I can't up load the image here (the size is ok, I tryed png, jpg, tif,  but i get always: "That image type is forbidden.")

So I try with link - for me the player is like this:

http://gcgrandi.altervista.org/Elim.png

(you need to open the link in another window)

[Nancy OShea]

I cannot access your image.

Can't you copy & paste your image directly into a reply?  If it's too big, you may need to downsize it first.

[Jhon Carlo]

Thank you Nancy,

I have also tried to copy directly into the reply but I can't I don't know why I get another error message, and I tred also to downsize until 200 pixel.

Do you have tryed to open in another tab/windows?

[Nancy OShea]

OK I see now.  It's this image. And it is not caused by Bootstrap.  Which browser are you using?

[osgood_]

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.

[ALsp]

There is absolutely no reason to be using Bootstrap for that. None whatsoever.

[Nancy OShea]

There's no reason NOT to use the Bootstrap video componenet if that's what the OP is using for layout.

In fact, your example video does exactly the same thing in Chrome.  So like I said above, this is a browser issue. 

BTW, I can no longer insert  or copy & paste images to this forum.  I will report this problem to Adobe staff.

That's presumptuous. You are assuming that the fellow made that choice independent of the fact that Adobe shoves it down users' throats 🙂 Not a surprising response from you, though. I'll just continue plodding along trying to pump some blood into Dreamweaver... and this forum. I don't have high hopes. But you never know.

Nope. Just honest and accurate

No it's not presumptuous.  Based on Jhon Carlos' other recent questions in this forum, it's clear to me that he is using Bootstrap for other things like button-groups.  So I think  it's fair to assume he's using Bootstrap for layoutts, too .

I agree. I'm just trying to save another soul
