Hi, now I am testing to insert a YouTube video with theater plugin into a page:
https://www.birkenhof-sanitec.de/produktvideos.php
I am not able, to make the still image of the video much more smaller, 4:3.
I don't want this width. Native video width is 800 and height is 200.
If I change the width to 400 and the height to 200, there is only a change of the height.
The width is not changed.
I do not understand these settings.
Also, how am I able to insert much more videos? I have no idea.
Page layout: 2560 px
Page template content area/main copy: 1024 px
Presentation max. width: 920 px, how to get it smaller? Custom.css?

probably not much help, but this stood out:
Native video width is 800 and height is 200.
Does the video you're using really have a native width and height of 800 x 200??

No, I think I confound things. I want to change the size of the theater screen to have the right size for the pangolin page. The Youtube video has another native size and it's ok inside the theater screen.
And I want to add some more videos from youtube.
It seems, that the theater plugin can only add one video link into an album.
So I have to use the links of youtube to add these links into a html code into the page copy.
If it is so - wherefore is the theater plugin, if I only can insert one youtube video from one album?
I am sure, that I make some mistakes and I do not understand what I am making wrong.
I know, bad english, sorry.

Try setting the native width and height in Backlight to match that of the video. Set the max-width of the presentation to restrict the width of the presentation area on screen.

You can have only one video per page if you're publishing these as Theater albums.
Otherwise, if you want the videos on the same page, you can insert the YouTube code into regular pages so that you can place as many videos as you want.
You'll probably want to put each in it's own div element.
Or, if you want to get fancy, you can put them in a responsive grid. http://ttg-tips-and-tricks.barbeephoto. … backlight/
One other option is to create an album set for your YouTube video albums and let that serve as your video page.

Not really sure what you’re referring to.
Is this related to the original topic?
What columns are you referring to?
Can you post a link to a page you’re asking about?
