Best Practices

For the best parallax experience:

  • Use high-resolution images.

  • Use images taller than the visible banner area.

  • Leave additional vertical space above and below the main content area.

  • Avoid placing important content too close to image edges.

Images with limited height may reduce the visual impact of the parallax effect.

2.4. Banner Video

Banner Video allows you to use videos instead of static images to create more engaging promotional content.

Media Sources

The Media block supports the following sources:

  • Uploaded Video

  • YouTube

  • Vimeo

Recommendation

For the best performance and loading speed, we recommend uploading video files directly to Shopify whenever possible. Directly hosted videos typically load faster and provide a smoother playback experience than external video sources.

Supported Blocks

Banner Video supports the same content blocks as the standard Banner section.
