In this tutorial, we are going to create a loop grid with videos that play on hover (on desktop) and on scroll (on tablet and mobile).

See the demo in action here:

Features:

  • Ideal for portfolios
  • Videos play on hover on desktop
  • Videos play on scroll, when in view, on mobile
  • (optional) There is an image on top of the video to start with, which can represent the first frame (has in my demo) or could be any image at all (such as a video feature image)
  • We are using the Elementor Loop Grid element here, so items can be made clickable to link to the Single Post page, or anywhere else (such as TikTok or YouTube)
  • The videos are self hosted (required for smooth results), you will need to compress them well and self host efficiently. See my tutorial about self hosting video files with BunnyCDN. If your videos are small enough, they can be directly in your media library too.

We are going to use the free version of ACF to create the CPT and the custom fields, however you could also use any Custom Fields plugin, such as JetEngine, Metabox, Pods, Toolset, etc.

Let's get started!

First, get Custom Post Type setup and ready

  1. Very nice design but i found the video only plays in the first time of hover?
    if user hover another video and go back to the 1st video again the video won't play. Any idea what i am wrong in the settings please

  2. Bonjour, les templates que je téléverse sur mon site sont vides et n'affichent aucun contenu... Je n'arrive pas à installer votre tutoriel!

    1. Have a look at the custom CSS that's under the Loop Template, on the first container > Advanced > Custom CSS field.

      You should be able to edit it easily to show the title by default.

    1. Greetings Trevor!

      Sorry it's not possible, the Pro Gallery doesn't accept videos, and 'hacking' this would not be worth it, in particular when we have the Loop Grid available.

      Cheers!

      1. Oh yeah, you are right! It was just to keep it simple and have chance to control grid from one place, but maybe in a future 🙂 Thanks bro!

  3. Hi Maxime! This is awesome. I have one question. My first video seems to not play on first hover, but plays fine on the second one. Do you have any idea why that happens? Cheers, Christian

    1. Hey Christian!

      It works just fine for me on first hover, with Chrome and Safari.

      It's true that before the video actually starts playing, we have to wait a little bit. Yes compressing the videos further would help! Ideally under 1mb.

      Cheers!

      1. Hi, yes. I just tried again following the tutorial and have the same error.

    1. Greetings,

      Are you clicking the Folder icon while you are in the editor, and then the Upload arrow in the upper right corner?

      1. Hi again, I downloaded the file again and it worked this time. Thank you.

  4. Hi Maxime, the template is awsome, thank you very much!
    Is it possible to open the videos (hosted on Vimeo/Youtube) in a lightbox?

    Cheers, Max

    1. *One more question*

      The load on click button does nothing on click. Does this have something to do with the script in the HTML?

      Best regards, Max
