The homepage video had side gutters and a height-based width cap that exposed the difference between the page background and the film's matte. That matte also changes shade between scenes in the Vimeo uploads.

Make the film edge to edge while retaining its complete 16:9 frame. Short, wide windows receive additional reading stops so the lower part remains reachable. Keep the explanation-to-video reveal and its reverse navigation, and keep the playback fallback link within the panel.

Adjust the existing brightness/darken treatment to normalize the darker decoded film and poster mattes to the page's #F4F5F6 background. This was checked against the actual English and Spanish Vimeo streams at 12 points each, covering their full 71-second timelines and the transition into Compositor. All 24 sampled matte colours match #F4F5F6 after treatment.

Validation: production build and site verification (21,777 checks), preview checks (21,706), JavaScript syntax and git diff --check; 14 responsive Chromium/WebKit cases including the reported window size, phone, landscape, short and very wide windows, reduced motion, forward/reverse navigation and direct video links; pixel comparison of raw and normalized Vimeo frames; playback-failure link visibility.
