# Video with text

* Add **content blocks** for text, buttons, images, and more.

The **Video with text** section displays an autoplay video (without sound). After uploading your video, you can select the **focal point** and **aspect ratio** (shape) of your video.

<details>

<summary><mark style="color:blue;"><strong>STEPS</strong></mark></summary>

In your theme editor (**Customize**):

1. Click on the **Video with text** section to open the settings.
2. Select the **Video position** to display the image on the **Left** or **Right** side of the section.
3. Under **Shopify video**, click **Select video**.

   > Use a `.mp4` video. We strongly recommend using a 5 to 10 second video under 10MB.
4. (*Optional*) Under **Mobile Shopify video**, click **Select video** for a background video that appears only on mobile devices.

   > You may want to upload a video file that has been cropped to a different shape (aspect ratio) to better fit a vertical screen.
5. Select a **Video aspect ratio** to crop your video to **Square**, **Landscape**, or **Portrait**.

   > The **Natural** setting displays the original shape of your video.

   <img src="/files/RFmWGT0O4EPQmXP8F5si" alt="" width="375">
6. Use **Video focal points** to specify the main focus of your images. The focal point of your image will remain centered and within frame when your site adapts to different screen sizes.
7. Click **Save**.
