Description

Parallax & Video Backgrounds – for Visual Composer adds new background controls to the WPBakery (Visual Composer) builder that apply a parallax effect to images and play YouTube, Vimeo, or self-hosted MP4 videos as the background of any row. The extension expands the editor’s row settings panel with speed, color overlay, and mobile behavior adjustment options, expanding the page builder’s visual capabilities without requiring code.

Key Features

  • Image parallax: applies a scrolling effect with adjustable offset to any WPBakery row.
  • YouTube and Vimeo background video: embeds videos from the platforms directly into the row, with automatic looping and muting.
  • Self-hosted MP4 video: uses files from the WordPress media library as a full-width background.
  • Overlay layer: adds a color overlay over the background to ensure text contrast.
  • Responsive control: adjusts behavior on mobile devices and can replace the video with a static image.

Benefits of Parallax & Video Backgrounds – for Visual Composer

  • Pages with greater visual impact: hero sections gain movement without needing to edit theme templates.
  • Configuration within the editor itself: everything is set in the row options, eliminating the need for manual shortcodes.
  • Broad compatibility: works with themes that use WPBakery as their default builder.
  • Adjustable performance: allows heavy effects to be disabled on smaller screens to preserve loading performance.

Who Is It For?

  • Designers and developers who build landing pages with WPBakery and want animated backgrounds.
  • Agencies that deliver corporate websites with video hero sections.
  • WordPress site owners who use Visual Composer and want to modernize existing pages without changing builders.

This add-on is intended for those who already work with WPBakery and need to enhance the visual finish of their pages without migrating to another page builder. By centralizing parallax and background videos within the native row options, it reduces setup time and keeps the editing workflow familiar, making the result similar to what is seen on websites with cinematic hero sections.
