VideoEmbed
Insert a real video player instead of a raw iframe. Free handles YouTube and Vimeo; Pro adds your own MP4/WebM/audio plus the control surface.
How to use it
- Open the plugin and paste a URL.
- Choose the aspect ratio — 16:9, 4:3, 1:1 or 9:16 — and set autoplay if you want it.
- Insert. The player is a native Framer component, so you can move it, restyle it and place it in any layout.
- In Pro, set your accent colour, loop and Start Muted, playback speed, and a poster image for MP4.
MP4 and audio need Pro
The free tier covers YouTube and Vimeo embeds only. Self-hosted MP4, WebM and audio files, poster overrides and right-click protection are Pro.
9:16 is for vertical video
Embedding Reels or Shorts? 9:16 avoids the pillarboxing you get from 16:9.
Activating Pro
Buy through Dodo checkout — the key is emailed to the address you used and also shown on the success page. Paste it into the plugin to unlock Pro.
Key facts
- Free: YouTube and Vimeo embeds through the Plyr player, all four aspect ratios (16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 9:16), autoplay toggle, standard controls (play, progress, volume, fullscreen), no signup.
- Pro ($9/month): MP4/WebM URL and audio file support, custom accent colour, loop, Start Muted, playback speed 0.5x–2x, picture-in-picture, right-click download protection, poster image URL override.
- The player is a native Framer component, so it moves, restyles and sits in any layout.
- Built on the Plyr player.
Licence & billing
- One licence key covers your Framer account across all of your projects — not a key per project, and no seat count. Subscribing to one plugin does not unlock the others.
- Modern Image Effects is billed annually ($9/year). VideoEmbed and Ultra Image Optimizer are billed monthly ($9/month). Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled, and cancellation takes effect at the end of the paid period.
- Image processing is local. Every codec compiles to WebAssembly and executes inside the Framer editor; there are no server calls and no image uploads. What does leave your machine: the WebAssembly codec binaries are fetched from our CDN on first open and then cached; VideoEmbed's third-party embed request goes to YouTube, Vimeo or your own media host; licence key validation requires a network request.
Changelog
- 2026-09-30 Marketplace listings rewritten to lead with what is actually unlimited, and what never leaves your machine.
- 2026-04-08 First release. Plyr-powered players with configurable controls.
