1) On mobile, for this page, https://www.junbugg.net/junbugg-fitness-wealth, I've tried numerous times to insert the YouTube video link but I can't get it to correctly format. I placed my cursor right after the first paragraph but the letter "A" from the second paragraph stays in from of the video. How do I fix this?

2) How do I upload a video and insert it into a web page. It's a windows MP4 file, 39 meg, and 1 minute in length. I want to size it 300 X 169.
Also, is there a way that I chose the image that shows for the video?

3) I just purchased the jce editor update and received the license key in my email. Where do I put the license key at?


Thanks,
Louis

This would be best done using the new Columns tools, so that the content is aligned side by side correctly, and responsive. Here is an example video of me creating this using the content on your site:

1. Create 3 paragraphs in the editor using enter.
2. Click in the second paragraph, open the Columns tool, and set the Columns option to 2 and Stack Width to Small.
3. Click Insert.
4. Copy and paste each paragraph of content from your site, in the appropriate places.
5. Copy the URL of the Youtube video, and insert it using the Media Manager quick media dropdown.

Just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean everybody isn't out to get you.

A file this big is best uploaded to your site using FTP.

You can then insert it using the Media Manager.

Also, is there a way that I chose the image that shows for the video?


When inserting it with the Media Manager, click on the Media Options tab, then select an image for the Poster field.

Thank you.

1) How exactly do I add paragraphs? I pressed enter 3 times and none of the boxes showed that appear on your video! Don't see an icon for it on my menu bar, nor all the other icons you have. How do I add icons for these features? http://prntscr.com/sdrivh
My tool bar doesn't look like yours - http://prntscr.com/sdrr2d

2) Second question. I didn't explain myself well. I mean, with in the video, how do I select what part of the video will be the preview image of the actual video? I want to choose a part of the video that is nice, clear, and colorful.

My toolbar was displaying with the new Retina toolbar theme. You can set this if you want in Editor Profiles -> Features & Layout, as well as adding and removing editor buttons.

The button to display the "visual blocks" is the 3rd from the left on the bottom row in your editor toolbar. Click this to toggle visual blocks.

You would need to use some kind of video editor to extract an image from the video itself, and use this for the Poster image as I outlined above. There is no way to display a particular frame of a video as a preview image.

It's good that you had a great father. If you don't mind me asking, what qualities made him a great dad?

This is just an extra paragraph. You can remove it by clicking inside it and pressing the backspace key.

Leave the video full size, to fit within the column. This will have more visual impact, and will look better aligned next to your text.

Thanks,

I left the video as the default full size but on mobile it's still showing off the page.

Also, there's still a lot of space showing on desktop view. This doesn't look professional. How do I fix this?

Please download, install and enable this plugin - https://github.com/widgetfactory/wf_responsive_widgets

This will help to make IFrame based video (such as Youtube) responsive.

This is unavoidable because of the height of the video.
