How can I ensure that the video maintains its dimensions of 1920x1080 on all breakpoints in Webflow?

To keep a 1920x1080 video at the same aspect ratio across all breakpoints in Webflow, use consistent sizing and aspect ratio-preserving techniques.

1. Use a Responsive Wrapper with Padding Hack

• Create a Div Block that wraps your video element.
• Give the wrapper a position of relative.
• Set the wrapper’s width to 100% and padding-top to 56.25% (which is 1080 ÷ 1920).
• This creates a container that maintains a 16:9 aspect ratio regardless of screen size.

2. Set Video to Cover the Wrapper

• Place your video inside the wrapper.
• Set the video’s position to absolute, then top: 0, left: 0, width: 100%, height: 100%.
• This makes the video stretch to fill the wrapper while respecting the 16:9 ratio.

3. Disable Autoresize on Breakpoints

• Check all breakpoints in Webflow.
• For each one, avoid setting fixed width or height values that break the aspect ratio.
• Confirm that responsive styles (like % widths or max-width: 100%) are maintained consistently.

4. Use Embed for Video Tags (if Needed)

• If embedding a video (via custom code), make sure the <video> or <iframe> follows the same structure.
• Set the iframe attributes for responsive behavior (e.g., width="100%", height="100%", or use loading="lazy").

5. Avoid Fixed Width/Height in Pixels

• Do not set the video to 1920px by 1080px directly, as this will break layout on smaller screens.
• Instead, rely on CSS scaling with responsive units and the aspect ratio method above.

Summary

To keep a 1920x1080 video responsive and maintain its aspect ratio across breakpoints, wrap it in a relatively positioned div with 56.25% padding-top, then absolutely position the video inside it with 100% width and height. Avoid using fixed pixel dimensions on the video element to ensure full responsiveness.
