>> Setting the .video wrapper’s padding-bottom: 56.25%; is the magic in this method. Using padding means the percentage used will be based on the parent’s width; ‘56.25%’ will create a 16:9 aspect ratio. Do the maths yourself, if you want. 9 / 16 = 0.5625. 0.5625 * 100 = 56.25 (this is our per cent). |
