Video Elements is a premium Wordpress theme that should catch the eyes of video bloggers everywhere.
It features a banner display of recent videos that’s similar in style to Apple’s “Cover Flow” method of navigating iTunes. For the remainder of the page layout, site owners can choose between a traditional linear ‘blog-style’ posting of the latest videos, or a gallery-style presentation. Either way, you’re talking about a very impressive video site.
When a user clicks through to view a video, it opens in a custom player that fades the rest of the screen to black.
The Video Elements template also features a widget-ready and customizable sidebar.
The theme supports several video formats, including YouTube, Google Video, MetaCafe, DailyMotion, Flash video, Quicktime and Windows Media Video.
Features:
- Unique layout for presenting web video
