 * Any tips for encoding video to use as a background?
 * I encoded as MP4 with no sound at 2500 Kbps and 30 fps. The final video was under
   5M in size, but it won’t load as a background video on a row.

 * I figured it out… You can’t encode an MP4 file from within After Effects, so 
   I had to use the Adobe Media Encoder. That worked.
 * However, I have another problem… The video works great on my desktop computer,
   but it doesn’t work on my iPad or iPhone and the fallback image is not displayed.
   Looks like a bug.

 * Hey Dave,
 * That shouldn’t be happening. I’ll have a look and see about getting a fix together.
 * Thanks,

 * Also, for some reason the video is offset by one pixel at the top and left (the
   right and bottom values are 0), so you end up with a 1 pixel border on the top
   and left.
 * I was able to get around it by setting the margin offset for top and bottom to-
   1
