CSS Sizing Height of Video Container












1















I am trying to size video containers height but for some reason, its height is unnecessarily big.



CSS:



.indexVideoContainer{

display:flex;
flex-direction: column;
background-color: #fff;
background-image: url(https://bellroy.imgix.net/cms_images/1259/background-texture-repeat.jpg?auto=format&fit=max);
width: 100%;


}
.indexVideoText{
position: relative;
font-family: "PT Serif", serif;
-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
text-align: center;
margin: 5px auto 20px auto;
font-weight: 400;
/* line-height: 32px; */
color: #666;
font-weight: 500;
font-size: 25px;
line-height: 40px;
margin: 0 auto 40px auto;
max-width: 55%;
top:50px;
}
.videoContainer{

position:relative;
padding-bottom:60.25%;
padding-top:30px;
height:0;
overflow:hidden;
border:1px solid black;

}
.videoContainer iframe{
position:absolute;
margin: auto;
top: 35%;
left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
width:70%;
height:60%;

}

Check the .videoContainer class. I added a border for a better demonstration. Its height is unnecessarily big. Expands too much for some reason. How do I make it shorter in a responsive way?

Edit:
I still have the problem guys.I have managed to fix it with some workaround but i guess i am missing something with video frame and flexbox.

          • Yes mam, You just need to go the iframe tag and decrease the height and width to 80% , because right now it is 100% once you change it to 80% then you cN add more padding or margin for more space , I have editied the answer

          • Yes mam, You just need to go the iframe tag and decrease the height and width to 80% , because right now it is 100% once you change it to 80% then you cN add more padding or margin for more space , I have editied the answer
