To achieve the Velvet zoom effect, Velvet overrides a few layout defaults, and in some cases this can causes layout weirdness. If your running into any layout problems with the zoom, take heart – I’ve developed a graceful work around 🙂
In the Velvet Video stack settings, you’ll see a toggle option called “Prevent Thumbnail Zoom”. Enabled this option to prevent the thumbnail image zoom, but the full size video will then have a slight zoom effect.
