Videos & Images The Exact Height of Sections - Clean Up Gaps?

Go to solution Solved by VisualNotes,

Recommended Posts

Is there any way to size images and videos to be the exact height of a section? I'm trying to make the website look cleaner and more responsive by removing the gaps between the content and the edge of its respective section. 

I input some custom code I found on the forums to re-size videos, however, I'm still getting gaps between sections.  Especially across browsers and device sizes. I've attached screenshots below.

The issue is very noticeable among images and videos on the home page. 

Any insight is appreciated!!

I was able to place images in multiple sections with background colors with no gap at all. 
However, this only works if you have disabled the "Fill screen" option for these sections. This is because the minimum value for fill screen height is always 1 and not 0. In your case this might be the cause for that small gap that is visible between the edge of the image and the edge of the section. If not, I suppose it's a custom CSS issue.

I just saw that you can set the height value to 0 by typing, then even with the fill screen option enabled the gaps are gone.

Upon further investigation, I saw that the reason for the remaining gap below the video is an inline style that SQ puts in here which is inexplicable to me. 
It even needs the !important property for the custom CSS rule to eliminate the issue:

.embed-block-wrapper {padding-bottom: 0 !important;}
