 * I have tried to no avail to get this to work and am hoping you can help me. I
   resorted to using a photo because the video does the same thing but is distorted
   and plays no sound. I have uninstalled and reinstalled both the plugin and wordpress
   as a whole.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fbackground-image-cutoff%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hello, yes we are using image as background for fullscreen – you can try to edit
   the image to format 16:10 or 4:3, then it does not crop so drastically.

 * how would i go about doing this while keep the whole image intact? I have tried
   to resize the image to a smaller size but I still get the same result.

 * Your image has portrait format and PC screens are usually landscape format, so
   we stretch your image to landscape as well. There is no way around it. Changing
   the image to smaller size does not help – you would need to add black bars on
   each side to change the image aspect ratio from 3:4 to 4:3 or 16:10.
 * or you can try our other themes, which supports portrait format for image like
   Fifty theme: `http://cmp.niteothemes.com/?cmp_preview=true&theme=fifty` or Apollo
   theme: `http://cmp.niteothemes.com/?cmp_preview=true&theme=apollo`. They are 
   not free though.

 * I did you suggestion of changing the image to make it a landscape image and while
   the cutoff is not so drastic it still does cut the image off do you have any 
   suggestion I could do to fix this.
