  Hello everyone.
  I am brand new to wordpress and I am currently creating a website for my video productions company. My question is this, I am using the wordpress video uploader and am uploading my videos onto a sample page, the problem is that it show the entire screen, and a big play button for my customers to play the video, is there anyway to show just a small thumbnail of the video, and when people click on it, it opens up into a bigger video screen? In other words I would like to put 10 or 12 small thuumbnails and a custoemr can click on whatever video they want and it opens into a bigger screen for viewing?

  It just looks so congested with all of these huge screens on the page, way too chaotic. If someone can tell me if this is even possible I would greatly appreciate it…

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You are referring to these, right?

  1. You can manually resize any video. You simply change to the HTML ediotor and adjust the width and height attributes for each video.

  2. You could place each video on a sub-page without resizing them.

  3. You could keep them all on the same page but use either pagination “next page” or “page jump” links to split content.

  Page Jumps
