How to hide the dark horizontal gradient bar on video?

Hello dear Sparklers!

I still have the same problem. Is there anyone who can help me to resolve it? I posted this question already in January 2024!

How to hide the progress slider on video, even though the “Progress Slider” button is deactivated?

I’d rather like the play button at the bottom of the video. But if I don’t center the play button I get that blurry bar at the bottom in Preview.

Thanks in advance!

I hope you are doing well in these challenging times.

Kind regards,
Henrieke

As I mentioned in your other post @mynona, but maybe it would be best to get hold of @duncan on this one by using feedback@sparkleapp.com

I don’t fully understand the issue here - maybe you can explain some more. I’ve incorporated videos on a page and have not seen the issue with the dark bar at the bottom:

Can you explain where the videos are hosted, and what method you are using to display the videos.

The easiest way to have a play button displaying non centrally, is to make it a part of a custom thumbnail image. Alternatively, add a player icon over the video and have it act as a media control.
