Video / Dark bar at the bottom

Happy New Year to you all! Gutes Neues Jahr!

I get a dark bar across the bottom of my videos. The original does not show any dark bar. It also doesn’t show in Sparkle directly but it does in PREVIEW.

When I use “Browser built-In” the dark bar is gone. BUT! I don’t like that design too much. I rather like it as modest as possible.

Has anyone had this issue and knows how to fix it? Many thanks in advance!

Kind regards
Henrieke

Hello dear Sparklers!

I still have this problem. Is there anyone who can help me to resolve it?

If I don’t center the play button I get that fuzzy bar at the bottom. Though I rather would like the play button on the bottom of the video.

Thanks in advance!

I hope you are doing well in these challenging times.

My understand @mynona is that this is the norm with videos, but I could be wrong?
The dark horizontal gradient bar is there for a better visual contrast to clearly see the video controls when they show.

Thank you! I’m sorry to say this but I find the “gradient bar” very annoying. It is not part of the video and it hides some details in the lower part.

Maybe I’m too much of a purist?
