Masking Video
Masking Video is a WordPress plugin that adds masked video effects to pages built with Elementor. It lets you place a video inside a decorative mask shape, so the clip appears through a custom outline instead of a plain rectangle. You set it up from the Elementor editor with no coding.

What’s new in Masking Video 1.3
Version 1.3 · Aug 26, 2026

What it does
Standard embedded videos sit in a rectangular frame, which can look out of place on a carefully designed landing page or promo section. This addon gives you another option: the video plays inside a mask, so it takes on the shape of the design you pick. It works as an Elementor addon, so you add and configure masked videos in the same editor you already use to build your pages.
You start from one of 39 preset masking designs, then adjust the clipping mask image settings and set a custom width and height to fit your layout. Videos can come from YouTube, Vimeo, or internal and external video links. The output is responsive across screen sizes, and the plugin is translation ready with an included .pot file, which helps on sites published in other languages.
Best for
- Elementor sites wanting shaped, decorative video sections
- Landing pages and promotional pages featuring video content
- Freelancers and agencies styling video for client sites
