Video gallery thumbnail – overlay and show title on hover

Hi!

I'm making a gallery block for a videographer that opens videos in a lightbox. I'm trying to add a hover effect where the thumbnail has a color overlay and shows the title on hover. I'm having two issues:

1. The color overlay on hover is only working on static images, but not on the video thumbnails (that open the video in a lightbox). There's a test static image at the bottom of the gallery that it is working on. I've tried to figure out if the video thumnails have a different selctor – I've tried:

.video-fill .sqs-gallery-block-grid .video-lightbox-wrapper .sqs-video-wrapper .video-fill .sqs-video-opaque .sqs-video-overlay .sqs-video-opaque 

Does anyone know how to fix this? 

2. I can't figure out why the text/title is getting cut off/cropped.

This is the code I'm using.

/* overlay and title on hover */
.slide a:after {
    position: absolute;
    content: "";
    background: rgba(5,5,57,0.6);
    z-index: 999;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    opacity: 10%;
    transition: all 0.5s;
	pointer-events: none;
}
.slide a {
    position: relative;
}
.slide a {
    position: relative;
    opacity: 1 !important;
}
.slide:hover a:after {
	opacity: 1;
}
.image-slide-title {
    position: absolute;
    top: 50%;
    left: 50%;
    transform: translate(-50%,-50%);
    width: 100%;
    text-align: center;
  	font-size: 2em!important;
  	font-family: "obviously";
    color: white;
    opacity: 0;
    z-index: 1000;
    transition: all 0.5s;
	pointer-events: none;
}
.slide:hover .image-slide-title  {
    opacity: 1;
}

Amazing, that worked! Thank you so much!!

Hi,

I am trying to achieve the same effect on video blocks I have on my page. I know next to nothing about coding so I can't really follow what's already been posted earlier.  I tried copying and pasting the code above into the custom CSS box on the page but it doesn't seem to do anything.

Can someone help me with the exact code I need to use to make this work? 

Thanks so much
