    Hi Z,

    For a slider in the header, in an mp4 format, youtube hosted, without vertical black stripes on both sides, do as I did:
    1. format your photographs/images to the dimensions of 2000 × 1200 pixels
    2. look for YouTube Slideshow Creator
    3. follow the steps needed to create the slideshow
    4. IMPORTANT: in tags, insert the following yt:stretch=19:9 (kind of mimics the 5:3 dimension of the theme)

    I’m no developer neither designer so I am going to keep looking for better solutions.

    I used movie maker, and added about 7 photos that were 1080 H by 1920. I saved the file in MP4 format from movie maker. Then I used Handbrake(free software) to compress the file. It ended up at 5.8 mg and I was able to upload it to twentyseventeen media, and select it for the media video for the homepage.
