Hello everyone, I have a Squarespace issue.
I am a beginner at coding. In my website, I have multiple short clips that automatically play and loop; they basically act like gifs. I achieved this by using code blocks. There is also a link inserted in each block for viewers to redirect to the full video.
This is an example of the code I have for one of my code blocks:
<a href="link here" target="_blank">
<video class="video" width="100%" height="100%" autoplay loop playsinline>
<source src="s/video.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="s/video.webm" type="video/webm">
Sorry, your browser doesn't support HTML5 video.
</video>
<div class="overlay">
<div class="text">
<h3 class="text h3">The Secret Kingdom</h3>
</div>
</div>
</a>
In my Custom CSS, I added a hover effect for the code blocks, so viewers can hover their mouse cursor over the clips and click on them. I was able to achieve the black fade in and fade out transitions smoothly, but I can't seem to center the text properly. The position of the text appears differently in different devices.
This is the code I have so far:
/* ----- Block Hover ----- */

I'd appreciate some help on how to fix this. Are there any ways I can improve my code too?
Thank you in advance!
For your .text class try using this :
#block-yui_3_17_2_1_1589451992993_20908 .text,
#block-yui_3_17_2_1_1589450893966_20367 .text,
#block-yui_3_17_2_1_1589447618241_19753 .text,
#block-yui_3_17_2_1_1589447618241_20564 .text,
#block-yui_3_17_2_1_1589448047699_19059 .text {
position: absolute;
display: flex;
align-items:center;
justify-content: center;
left: 50%;
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
-webkit-transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
-ms-transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
}
