Are you a Macbook user? I get this when I inadvertently do a "pinch" on the multitouch mousepad. If so, try a "command-0" to bring back to default size.

I get the same issue, as described by Mr. Monkey, on both my work PC & home laptop.

Hmm. If you have the VideoSift page width as "loose" (link in the footer) It will resize to whatever the window size is - so if you have a tiny little window, and load a video page, the video will be tiny little. Maybe it's that.

Yes, I'm on 'loose', but my laptop has a 15" monitor; 24" here at work.

I'm on a PC, and I have it set to fixed, not loose. Windows 7 / Firefox, FYI.

Apparently some youtube embeds have been posted with inline css values for height and width. These values end up overriding the automatic resize for the outer part of the embed which results in the player being cut off at the bottom. The inline style attribute just has to be removed during embed validation or resize and all will be well

If you don't wanna wait just add this as a custom style to all videosift.com pages:

object {height: auto !important; width: auto !important;}


I've had the pleasure as well, Firefox 3.6.6 and 4 (beta 1).

Campy, how do you use that code?

I know of two ways to inject custom css in Firefox. If you already have, or don't mind installing either the GreaseMonkey or Stylish addon, you can go to this page and install the custom style.

If you're wary of installing any new addons, you can locate your FireFox chrome profile folder (Win7: C:\Users\-YourUsername-\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\-YourFFProfile-\chrome) and edit (or create) the userContent.css file and modify it to look like this:

@-moz-document url-prefix(http), url-prefix(file) {

.post-embed object {width: auto !important; height: auto !important;}

}


I posted about this a month ago, it's really annoying.

Also, if it happens to do it on a long, short or blocked video, where it would have a tag on the edge of the video, the long, short or blocked tag is in the middle of the video.

Happens to me too (as of last 2 months??)

I see this sometimes. I can force it sometimes if I right click on Flash videos that has zoom in/out or even "show all" options.

This has been happening consistently to me too for the past few months - FireFox 3.6.6 and Flash 10.1.

Cmon guys, this prevents Firefox and Opera users from accessing the video controls on some videos and can literally be fixed with a single line of code.

This has been fixed. Please let me know if it's still causing problems for anyone.

It's not fixed I've just submitted a video with inline style values for width, height and it crops out the bottom of the player like it still does for the other videos.
