  I am trying to figure out how to change the size of the video clip I have uploaded to my site (using VideoPress) as the video image is too big to fit into the window when it is playing.

  The Support page says you can specify the video player’s width inside the shortcode. Example: [wpvideo 6nd4Jsq7 w=640]

  But when I try and add the ‘w=640’ bit in the shortcode box and then update it just changes back to the original. What am I doing wrong?! Surely there must be a simple way of resizing a video clip (like you can with images) on the blog?

  Thanks.

  Hi there – The max content width for Yoko is 611, so that’s likely what’s happening. Can you try w=611? If you still have trouble, please link me to the post or page where the video appears, so I can take a look. :)
