How do I upload a transparent video to Wix?

Published in Wix Video Management 3 mins read

To add a transparent video to your Wix website, you'll use Wix's built-in features to select and place a transparent video element directly within your site editor. This allows you to integrate dynamic, cut-out video effects seamlessly into your design.

How to Add a Transparent Video to Your Wix Website

Integrating transparent videos into your Wix site can create captivating visual experiences, making your content stand out. Follow these straightforward steps to add one:

Step-by-Step Guide to Adding Transparent Videos

  1. Go to Your Editor:
    Begin by logging into your Wix account and navigating to the Wix Editor for the specific website you wish to modify. This is your primary workspace for designing and arranging content on your site.

  2. Click 'Add Elements':
    On the left-hand side of your editor, locate and click the Add Elements icon. This icon typically looks like a plus sign (+) or a shape, and it opens a panel with various elements you can add to your page, such as text, images, buttons, and more.

  3. Select 'Decorative' or 'Video & Music':
    From the "Add Elements" panel, choose either the Decorative category or the Video & Music category. Both sections may contain options for transparent videos, as they can serve both aesthetic and media-related purposes.

  4. Find 'Transparent Video':
    Within your chosen category (Decorative or Video & Music), look for the Transparent Video option. You might need to scroll down to find it. If you don't immediately see a wide selection, click on More Transparent Videos to expand the full menu of available transparent video assets.

  5. Add and Position the Video:
    Once you've found a transparent video you like, you can either click on it to automatically add it to your current page or drag it directly onto your website. After it appears on your canvas, you can easily position it wherever you like and resize it to fit your design perfectly.

Enhancing Your Site with Transparent Videos

Transparent videos are powerful tools for web design, allowing you to create dynamic backgrounds, interactive elements, or unique visual effects without needing a solid background. They are ideal for:

  • Product Showcases: Highlight products with motion graphics that blend seamlessly with your page.
  • Dynamic Overlays: Add engaging animations or characters that interact with other page elements.
  • Unique Backgrounds: Create a sense of depth and movement without a traditional video background.

By following these steps, you can effectively add transparent videos available within the Wix editor to enhance your website's visual appeal and user engagement.
