Hi Anthony
Are you sure you don’t want to try running Focus as per the demo, it would resolve this problem. Here is how.
1. Each post you add must have a featured image added. This image will get used for the home slider and thumbnails.

2. To get the Focus home page up and running go to Settings > Reading and select Front Page Displays Latest Posts.
Your home page will then look as follows:
http://demo.siteorigin.com/focus/
3. To get your videos displaying like this:
http://demo.siteorigin.com/focus/2013/02/20/ferrari-458/
Add a post for each video. Below the regular WordPress editor you’ll find a prompt to install Focus Videos, our plugin. Insert your video via that interface.
4. If you want your site to automatically create featured images from videos, check my thread here:

Ok but how does that help with the master slider etc?
I would like to have a slider at the top as well
The setup I’m suggesting is to use the default slider. At this stage, it isn’t possible, without custom development, to replicate the demo home page using a third-party slider. To use Master Slider in the way you’d like, you’d need to insert it, using a child theme, before the content box.
My other points regarding single post pages are still applicable.
