Video backgrounds done right

Stock clips are the fastest way to add motion to a hero section, but a 4K file will kill your page speed. Download the 1080p or 720p version, trim it to 8 to 15 seconds, remove audio, compress with HandBrake or ffmpeg, provide a poster image and use preload="none". Full checklist: video background best practices.

When to use animation instead

Video is pixels; animation can be vectors. For logos, icons, charts and UI demos, a Lottie or SVG animation stays crisp on any screen, weighs 20 to 200 KB and can react to user input. Free Creative Assets was built by a motion designer, and the Lottie section shows what that looks like in practice.
