To update the video you will need to change out 4 different URL’s in this section. One URL will be for the still image that shows when the video is not playing. The other 3 URL’s are for the different file formats of the video. Once you have chosen a new video, you will have to convert it into three file formats, .ogv, .mp4, .webm. Also, you should create a still image out of the first frame of the video.
To get the URL for each file, navigate to the WordPress dashboard and click the Media tab. Drag the new files in to upload them. You can find the URL to each file if you click on it.
