Video Hero Block
UtilityWordPress block for a full-bleed autoplay video hero hosted on a CDN, with an auto-generated first-frame poster so the hero paints instantly and the video loads only when needed.
Core capabilities
- First-frame poster captured in the browser and saved to the Media Library
- Poster painted first; video lazy-loaded, skipped under reduced motion or Save-Data
- Visible pause and play control (WCAG 2.2.2)
- Server-rendered so a page edit cannot strip the video
