The homepage is made up of various sections, it features a home page with video background and parallax options.

1. Redeemer | Video Background Section

To edit this template, navigate to Templates> Redeemer | Video Background Section> click "Edit with Elementor"

To make a video background section, select the background option within style. If you choose your own .mp4 file link rather than a youtube url, it should ideally be just a few megabytes in size.

Note that you should have a snapshot of the video (image file) uploaded as a fallback for cases it does not load:

Also while selecting the whole section (the blue outline here), you may add a background overlay. This is recommended to make all your text over the section more readable:

Note that with a layout like this you may need to make some padding-margin adjustments in mobile view as compared with desktop. With the mobile preview set in the bottom left option you can set the margin and padding specific to that view:
