User blog comment:Xean/New ways to showcase Video/@comment-188432-20121117135036

One of the cool things about the new video structure is that videos do now integrate pretty easily into infoboxes. We now just have a variable called in our tardis:template:Infobox Story, that allows us to put the official trailer for an episode of Doctor Who into an infobox (with a little help from tardis:template:infobox image), as can be seen at Vincent and the Doctor.

It'd be great, though, if we could turn off the lower third on the video thumbnail, because it's always truncated beyond the point of helpfulness when you get down to 250px widths. There's room for about 3 words, if you're lucky. Sarah Manley once told me that the caption automatically disappeared when the width was lowered under 200px or so, but that width is probably too small. The border for auto-shutoff of the lower third should be about 300-350px, because that's the width at which you get enough of the video title to make sense of it.
