We have an ongoing need to include videos above the search bar on about:home. We accomplished this with the FX10 snippet however there's an animation on this snippet that does not play well with all initiatives.

Can we build a new template that has a video above the search bar and a simple snippet below the search bar? I've attached a mockup snippet as well as a mockup of what the template might look like.

Note the "Poster Image" is an image that is placed over the start of the video. (see example fx10 snippet: https://snippets.mozilla.com/admin/base/snippet/4748/

Note the "Video Ending" is an image that is placed over the end of the video. Need to think through how the replay would work in this instance? Perhaps the entire image is clickable to activate a replay? Any ideas here?

Video size: 480x270
Date needed: TBD. Estimating early April

I can't see: https://snippets.allizom.org/show/85/ - Cory can you take a screenshot?

Does this have the social sharing functionality under the search bar?

Hey Jean!

Hmm, weird. This version does _not_ have the social sharing. Screenshot: http://cl.ly/image/142F0l2p191D

I am deving a version with social sharing in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1144943
