Video layer
In this article, we will explore the exciting video element, and how to manipulate its properties to make engaging and interactive videos. It's a unique feature that sets KappaX apart from other products.
Pro Tip
The 'Time' event of the video layer is used very often to perform various actions such as showing hotspots for a shoppable video experience or showing a list of products. You can also show experience guides timed by video. The possibilities are endless with this video event.
Accessing the Video Layer
Let's get started by selecting the video element from the top bar and dragging it onto the artboard. At this point, it's simply a placeholder as there isn't any media assigned to it yet.
Assigning Media to the Video Layer
Assuming you've already uploaded some media to the content library of KappaX, you can click on the select media icon in the property panel to assign the media to the video element.
Manipulating Properties
Once the media is assigned, you can manipulate various properties of the video element from the property panel. You can resize the video, give it a corner radius, control the opacity, add a border, and apply various transitions. You can even decide if you want the video to be muted or unmuted by default.
Video Events
The video element is unique and different from other elements in KappaX. It offers a wide range of events that you can use to take interactivity to the next level. These events include:
- Time: To access the current time of the video.
- Play: To execute actions when the video is played.
- Pause: Executes actions when the video is paused.
- Seek: You can show a loader in case of a bad network.
- Seek complete: You can hide the loader after the seek action is successfully executed.
- The video element also has Click, Show, and Hide events like other elements in KappaX.
