How to make a video a hot link to another page in website

Go to solution Solved by Beyondspace,

Recommended Posts

Hello,

My client would like to have an animation of a spinning newspaper as the first page people see when on the site. When it stops spinning, she would like people to click on the video so that it leads them to another page of the site (aka the "home" page).

Is this possible? Would I have to export the video animation from AdobePremierePro a certain way to do this?

Note: The entire site has a background image that remains constant due to a custom code. Would this also effect the coding of having a code to make a video a hot link?

Thank you!

Below are sketches showing what she has in mind:

With the basic css code for personal plan, You can try the following trick

1. Add an image block which allow you to add a link on it, so you can click on it to direct to the page you want

 

2. Make it small on editor

3. Use the following code on Home > Design > Custom Css to spin and scale your image block

#block-yui_3_17_2_1_1676381170030_3394 {
  animation: 1s forwards appear;

}
@keyframes appear {
  from {
    transform: scale(1) rotate(360deg);
    -webkit-transform: scale(1) rotate(360deg);
  }

  to {
    transform: scale(6) rotate(-360deg);
    -webkit-transform: scale(6) rotate(-360deg);
  }
}

@Beyondspace Thank you so much for the help! The code works great!

The only problem I seem to be facing now is the quality of the image. The PNG file I made in Illustrator appears pixelated/blurry after the animation runs. Would you have any idea on why this is happening? I embedded an image of the newspaper from Google into the file and the text "In the NYT who knew" is from the text feature in Illustrator. However, the file image as a whole after spinning is pixelated/blurry.
