I Have embedded a video element in HTML with some JavaScript event handlers to control its behavior,
<video loop muted onmouseover="this.play()" onmouseout="this.pause(); this.currentTime=0;" poster="">
<source src="" type="video/mp4">
</video>
<source src="" type="video/mp4">
</video>
This code snippet is designed to create a hover effect where the video starts playing when the mouse is over it and stops when the mouse leaves the area. It also provides a poster image (thumbnail) while the video is loading or before it starts playing. Make sure to replace <?php the_field(‘hover_thumbnail’); ?> and <?php the_field(‘hover_video’); ?> with appropriate PHP code to fetch the thumbnail and video URLs from your CMS or data source.
