How Do I Hover in Webflow Video?

by

In this tutorial, we will learn how to create a hover effect in Webflow videos. Hover effects can add an interactive and engaging element to your website, allowing users to easily navigate through your video content.

Step 1: Adding the Video Element

To get started, let’s first add a video element to our Webflow project. You can do this by dragging and dropping the Video element from the Elements panel onto your canvas. Once added, you can customize it by uploading your desired video file or providing a URL.

Step 2: Styling the Video Element

Now that we have added the video element, let’s style it to make it visually appealing. You can use HTML styling elements such as bold text, underline text, or even change its font size and color using CSS properties.

Example:

To make the text bold:

<b>This is bold text</b>

To make the text underlined:

<u>This is underlined text</u>

Step 3: Creating the Hover Effect

Now comes the exciting part – creating the hover effect! We’ll use CSS to achieve this.

To add a hover effect to our video element, we’ll create a new class specifically for this effect. In Webflow, you can do this by selecting your video element and clicking on the “Add Class” button in the Style panel.

In the Class field, give your class a name (e.g., “video-hover”) and press Enter.

Next, navigate to the Hover state in the Style panel. Here, you can apply any CSS properties you want to change when the video element is hovered over.

For example, you can change the background color, add a box shadow, or even scale the video element up for a zoom effect. Let your creativity guide you!

Example:

.video-hover:hover {
  background-color: #ff0000;
  box-shadow: 0px 5px 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
}

Feel free to experiment with different properties and values until you achieve the desired hover effect.

Step 4: Preview and Publish

Once you have created your hover effect, it’s time to preview and publish your Webflow project to see it in action. Click on the Preview button in the top-right corner of the Webflow Designer to see how your hover effect interacts with your video element.

If you’re satisfied with the results, hit Publish to make your website live and share it with others.
