Excerpt when no More tag

    Hey, ok, so I have a bit of a problem here. I have a blog/magazine, and I use the more tag to create an excerpt on my home page. However, some posts have videos at the top where the wp featured image should go, so I want it to be like this:

    when there is no more tag, the excerpt that it manually put in the excerpt form is loaded.

    My website is https://www.freshstreetmag.com. You can see the problem in the 8-Bit Tron Legacy post. I didn’t use a more tag in that one, and instead, I want the excerpt, but the whole post is there.

    My current code is as follows:

    <div class="postthumb">
		<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php printf( __('Permalink to %s', 'shape'), the_title_attribute('echo=0') ); ?>" rel="bookmark"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/scripts/timthumb.php?src=<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "thumb", $single = true); ?>&h=200&w=270&zc=1" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" class="post-thumb" /></a>
	</div>

	<div class="postsummary">
		<h2 class="entry-title"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php printf( __('Permalink to %s', 'shape'), the_title_attribute('echo=0') ); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

		<div class="entry-meta-sm">
			<span class="meta-prep meta-prep-entry-date"><?php _e('Published ', 'shape'); ?></span>
			<span class="entry-date"><?php the_time( get_option( 'date_format' ) ); ?></span>
		</div><!-- .entry-meta -->

		<div class="entry-content">
				<?php $content = get_the_content('');
				$content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);
				echo wpt_strip_content_tags($content); ?>
				<?php wp_link_pages('before=<div class="page-link">' . __( 'Pages:', 'shape' ) . '&after=</div>') ?>
		</div><!-- .entry-content -->

		<div class="alignright">
			<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" class="readmore">Read More</a>
		</div><!-- .alignright -->
	</div>

    Also, I am using this function to change the excerpt length. This is really bugging me, please, someone help!!!

    function new_excerpt_length($length) {
	return 12;
}
add_filter('excerpt_length', 'new_excerpt_length');

function new_excerpt_more($more) {
	return '...';
}
add_filter('excerpt_more', 'new_excerpt_more');
