# Video shows black edges in Pop-up

### Issue

While creating a Pop-up, the uploaded video displays black edges that are not present in the recorded video.

### Probable Causes

- The video’s dimensions doesn’t match the dimensions of the container frame in the Whatfix Pop-up.
- If the original video is cropped before uploading, the new dimensions might not fit the Pop-up frame, resulting in the black edges.
- The CSS code view of the Pop-up’s height and width has been modified.

### Suggested Solution

Use the following steps to remove the black edges:

1. Select the **Resize options**icon to adjust the video's height and width.
2. Click the **Fit to height** option.
3. Update the pixel values in the **Video height (in pixels)**field to ensure the video fits your widget layout. For more information, see [Resize a video in a Pop-up](/studio/docs/resize-a-video-in-a-pop-up).
