Best Practices for Video Backgrounds
To provide the best experience for your visitors, keep these visual and technical tips in mind:
- Use Still Camera Shots: Ensure the video is filmed from a steady and fixed position. Excessive camera movement can distract guests and make your calendar text difficult to read.
- Create Seamless Loops: For a professional look, use a video where the first and last frames are identical to prevent jumps during playback.
- Leverage AI for Video Generation: Consider using AI tools as a go to solution for generating high quality, professional video loops tailored for your brand.
- Adjust Transparency: Consider adjusting transparency settings to ensure that the video remains visible without compromising the readability of your booking links.
