Videor - Video Clipping Mask for Elementor 1.1.7

The Videor – Video Clipping Mask for Elementor is a creative WordPress plugin (developed by Merkulove) that allows you to "cut out" videos into specific shapes.1 Instead of a standard rectangular video player, you can display video content inside stars, blobs, hexacons, or custom text.

It is particularly useful for portfolio sites, high-end agency landing pages, and creative headers where you want a "moving background" inside a specific design element.

## Core Features

40+ Preset Masks: Includes a large library of pre-made shapes (geometric, organic blobs, abstract strokes) that you can apply with one click.2

Custom SVG Support: You can upload your own .svg file to create a unique clipping mask (e.g., your company logo or a custom-drawn shape).3

Multi-Source Support: Works with videos from:

YouTube

Vimeo4

Self-hosted (WordPress Media Library)5

External Direct Links (.mp4)6

Text Masking: You can use the widget to set a video as the background for a specific piece of text, making the letters appear "filled" with moving video.7

Interaction Controls: Includes options to play the video only on mouse hover (Mouse Enter) and pause it when the mouse leaves.8

## Technical Capabilities

Flexible Styling: Directly within the Elementor interface, you can adjust the video’s scale, position (X/Y axis), opacity, and CSS filters (brightness, contrast, etc.).9

Responsiveness: Allows you to set different mask sizes or video behaviors specifically for Mobile, Tablet, and Desktop.10

Lightweight: The plugin is designed to be "SEO Friendly" and lightweight, using modern CSS clipping methods rather than heavy JavaScript where possible.11

## Setup & Import

To use Videor, you generally follow these steps:

Add Widget: Search for the "Videor" widget in the Elementor sidebar and drag it into a section.

Choose Source: Select your video type (e.g., YouTube) and paste the URL.

Apply Mask: Go to the Mask tab and choose a preset shape or upload your SVG.12

Refine: Use the "Position" and "Scale" sliders to ensure the most important part of the video is visible through the mask.13

## Pricing & Availability (2025)

Envato Elements: Included in the standard subscription (unlimited downloads).

CodeCanyon: Available as a standalone purchase, typically around $19 for a regular license (includes 6 months of support).14

Pro-Tip: If you are using Elementor Pro, some basic masking is now built-in under the "Advanced" tab of the standard Video widget. However, Videor remains superior for its specific library of 40+ shapes and its specialized "Video-in-Text" functionality which is much easier to configure via this plugin than manually.
