Background videos on websites split the dev community in half - you either love the idea and think it is fun and creative or you think it’s distracting and too much smoke and mirrors and hate it. Nevertheless, background videos can make some Webflow projects shine and sparkle and give a kind of energy that not many other design elements provide.

Interactive Mouse Movement Background Video Cloneable by Jakob Wrs
This is a very custom and advanced video background cloneable that uses Three.js and Vanta.js to make this crazy halo effect that follows your mouse movement.
Using this is simple! Copy a few lines of code, add it before </body> tag and type in your element class inside el: "#your-element-selector" line. That’s all there is to it! Quick, painless and beautiful!
Vanta.js made it as no-code, so this is as custom as it gets.
This cloneable takes video background to the next level. Because it’s not actually a video, now is it? It’s a smart animation on Webflow! The best part? Because this effect comes from Vanta.js library of effects, you can select different effects and control colours, intensity or most other parameters before you extract the custom code you will be using. Meaning you can set this up to be as custom and unique to your design and style as you want it to be!

This is a custom code interactive mouse movement animation built with Javascript library - check Vanta.js for more info. Check out this cloneable if you are seeking a truly advanced way to work with background videos and animations.
