Theater Video Player is a customizable video component for Framer, built for moments where a simple embed feels too plain and fullscreen feels too heavy.
It works well for short presentation videos, product demos, portfolio reels, intro videos, SaaS landing pages, and visual case studies. Place it inside a hero section, product block, portfolio page, or content section, then let visitors expand the video into a smooth theater view without disrupting the whole layout.

Use Cases
• Hero section videos
• SaaS product demos
• Portfolio showreels
• Product presentation videos
• Founder or creator intro videos
• Landing page media blocks
• Case study walkthroughs
• Short educational or tutorial clips
Most video embeds are either small inside the layout or jump straight into fullscreen. Theater Video Player gives visitors a middle step: they can expand the video into a focused viewing mode, watch what they need, then close it and return to the page.
