Embedded HTML Video Object's Size

[Lucy Xerge]

Hello all.

When I embed video via Object > Insert HTML...

<video width="320" height="180" autoplay>

<source src="assets/video.mp4" type="video/mp4">

</video>

... the height of the object changes to 184! If I attempt to change the size of the object by typing in "180" directly into the corresponding transform field, or by dragging the bounding box handles, Muse has a think for a second or two, then reverts it back to 184.

I have since discovered that changing the font size when the object is selected changes the amount the object's height increases / decreases. Needless to say this is infuriating as fonts have no business encroaching on my embedded video.

Now, this doesn't actually affect the video itself - that remains true at 320x180 - it's just the video's "container" (if that's the correct word?) that is wrong.

Is this normal behaviour? It seems very odd to me. Am I worrying about nothing, or can this cause issues with a responsive design later down the road?

Kind regards,

Lucy.

Hey Lucy,

My personal suggestion is you can ignore this slight mismatch in height of your video.

In a responsive design, it is the width which matters more and not height.

You can share your site link once published and we will have a close look at it.

Thank you for your reply, Ankush.

Are you suggesting this mismatch isn't normal then, if you're wanting a closer look?

I have embedded the video on a blank page and filled the container with red, so you can see the forced extra height below the video.

If this is normal behaviour of these containers, then I don't have an issue with it. I just don't like not knowing if something is bugged or not.

Kind regards,

Lucy.

Hi Ankush.

You asked me to share my published site, but have removed the link from my reply!

Yes, I see your video, looks like it was deleted by the system, sorry for that.

However, minor pixel difference in height won't affect your site anyway.

It isn't a bug, so you may go ahead and publish the site freely.

Thanks,

Ankush
