Change background-color of html5 video element

Question

I've got the following website: beta.leifsigersen.com

There's a movie on the front page which sometimes takes a little while to load (sometimes less than a second, sometimes a few seconds). Before the movie is loaded there's black background/borders. How can I change the color of this?

I've tried to use CSS of the video-element, but without any luck.

Answer 1

Try this CSS:

.pk_video {
     background-color: red !important; /* or whatever you want */
}

Answer 2

So i had this annoying white bar, I got rid of it using. I applied it the the containing div.

background-color: transparent;

Alternatively use

 background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);

Hope that helps

Answer 3

Just add the background color to the html code itself. For example:

<video width="100%" height="100%" style="background-color: #fff;" src=""></video>
