If I set the width to 100% and leave the height blank, is this okay? Whats the best thumbnail size for this?

Hi Ralph,
To set the Default Video Size you have to fill-in both width and height values (in pixels).
Could you specify what exactly you’d like to achieve with your size settings, please? We may find a solution for that.
Thanks,
Chiara
I just want to go full width, on the page.
I just purchased the Pro version and would appreciate a reply. Before I go and add hundreds of thumbnails can you please advise the perfect thumbnail size?
How about 678 x 360 ?
Hello Ralph,
678 x 360 is a good choice, as it fits your content column properly.
You could use even bigger images as FV Player would size these down to make them fit. But Google PageSpeed wouldn’t like that as you would be serving bigger images than necessary.
FV Player does work with lazy load routines provided by other plugins. I guess we should also support the HTML5 native image lazyloading.
We also need to improve the image serving to user responsive images properly, as otherwise the playlist thumbnail user the same image size as the video splash screens – in that case the lazy load in really needed to optimize the site load times.
Thanks,
Martin
This post I’m using 678 by 360 jpgs https://senensky.com/latest-post/
If we determine a different size than I’ll just redo this one. I’m about to add thumbnails to hundreds of clips so you’re guidance is very important.
Do you think its better if I leave the dimensions blank, default size in settings is 678 by 360, like I did on this one?https://senensky.com/special-black-lives-matter/
My dilemma is that his videos are a square aspect ratio.
If we determine the correct default size in settings, than can I skip a step and avoid doing this to every new clip? And match the jpg size?
If I take a screenshot, and open in Photoshop, the videos are ‘approx’ 596 by 450, so…what do you think?
Please see previous response.
Hello Ralph,
the splash image in https://senensky.com/latest-post/ fit perectly.
What matters most is the aspect ratio – if 678:360 works for you, then you can set 1356×720 global settings size and the player will always appear fine even if you change the content column width.
Then you can set that square ration for individual players too.
The problem is that if you go to for example 1000 px wide content column the images will look a bit blurred. We need to store these splash images using WordPress Media Library IDs and make sure the proper size is generated based on the content column width.
Thanks,
Martin
