Click on “Apply” to insert them all at once. You can then manage their depth with the layer stack on the left menu.
Video properties (picture below)
Rename your element (by default it will have the same name as the file you uploaded), add a class for CSS, control its volume, hide or show controls on your video (play cursor, sound level), choose if you want your video to play automatically or not and choose if you want your video to loop or not.
Duplicate (while preserving its properties and actions) or replace it.
Manage the opacity of the element (from 0 for invisible to 100%), choose a color for the border, set a rounded effect on the border, set the size of the border, the position on the scene (X or Y).
Size & position (picture below)
To move a video, you can drag-and-drop it wherever or edit its precise coordinates in X
and Y in the bottom right fields.
To resize a video, you can click-and-drag from one of its corners (keep the shift key pressed to preserve its proportions) or edit its precise width
and height in the bottom right fields.
You can lock the element on the scene
Tips: If you want the controls to lay over the video, make sure its frame matches the actual size of the video. If you want the controls beneath your video, make sure that its frame remains a bit larger in height than the actual size of the video.
