Hero widget background video not always filling the width of the screen.

I am trying to use a background video with the hero widget in Page Builder for my website but about half the time the page loads the video is simple centered inside the widget instead of being stretched across it. I have also noticed that opening the inspect element window in the bottom of the screen seems to automatically fix the problem.
Does anyone have a possible solution?

Any help would be much appreciated.

    Hi Acoll,

    This looks like it could be a plugin conflict issue. Can you try disabling all non-SiteOrigin plugins and see if this fixes the issue? You’ll need to clear all your caches after disabling your plugins.

    If it does fix the issue, then try re-enabling your plugins one by one until the issue comes back. This procedure will help diagnose which plugin is causing the issue.

    Once we know that, we’ll be able to look at what might be causing the conflict and either solve the problem or help you find an alternative plugin.

    If the above doesn’t help, then you can also try temporarily switching to one of the default WordPress themes to see if the issue is theme related.

    A temporary fix (temporary as in it’s honestly not recommended) would be to add the following CSS to WP AdminAppearanceCustom CSS:

    .sow-background-element {
    	margin-left: 0 !important;
    	left: 0 !important;
    }
    

    You might also need to install the SiteOrigin CSS Editor.
