 * Hello,
    I’m using a template generator in order to built my site and would like
   to know if I can use shortcodes to place a video background in a specific box.
   Regards Pat

 * Hi poco06,
 * I’m sorry I’m just getting back to you now, I just saw your question.
 * Although the shortcode function for v1.0 is depreciated it still works and if
   you have to resort to it, you will be able to. To add a video background via 
   shortcode use the shortcode below. The fields are the same as the metabox in 
   the current version.
 * `[vidbg container="" mp4="" webm="" poster=""]`
 * Please let me know if this helps you!
