I’ve seen some great examples of sites using oscillator, from night clubs to dance halls, music groups to stage play production companies.

Celebrity sites can use MovieW too, as well as movie trailer blogs, movie reviews site and a lot more. With BuddyPress and bbPress, you can add a slick looking forum for memners to discuss any kind of topic, as long as it’s film and video related.

Not that there’s a classics aisle left, but you get my point.

Carefully crafted, powerfully featured, well coded and easily changed up if something doesn’t work for you right out of the box. The attention to detail is wonderful, a pixel perfect theme if ever there was one. Hey, this is even the top selling Video Blog and Magazine theme of 2024, which means it’s going to be around for a while.

Rydon
Rydon is a pretty slick looking fullscreen video theme for WordPress, it’s got tons of features to help you create a really winning website. Games? Movies? Sports? News? Entertainment? It’s all fair game with Rydon, even tutorials websites. There’s pretty much nothing you can’t make look great, though you do need to start with great video clips to produce great results. Some say, ‘we’ll fix it in post’ but as a former film and video editor, that’s not something I like to hear.
SlimVideo
SlimVideo is just what it sounds like, a lightweight, easy to use and powerful video theme. Aesthetically, SlimVideo is somewhat generic, though a lot of people are looking for that in a WordPress theme. But don’t worry if you don’t love the design, you can switch it up as much as you want. SlimVideo is totally flexible in it’s design. Play HD videos that you’ve hosted yourself, or from a video site like Youtube, like Vimeo or like Daily Motion.
Attitude
Attitude is a portfolio style WP theme and I think it can be a sweet way for business owners to get themselves an incredible looking, functional portfolio page put in place immediately. Attitude has it going on and I think what it’s best for, ultimately, is a video portfolio template. The basic layout of this great WordPress theme is incredibly simple and everyone will love their visit, because the user experience is incredible. Look at that attitude! This almost unbelievably simple and awesome theme is full of A1 qualities that make Attitude look great on all devices. Attitude has that SEO optimization, it’s easy to change up colors, swap out sidebars and plenty more.
Megatron
Megatron sounds a little like a movie monster from a 1950s movie and it’s a great video portfolio theme. Coincidence? Okay, maybe. But that doesn’t change the fact that Megatron is a well designed theme that helps you make your video look incredible. Built with the Bootstrap 3 grid system, Megatron offers a ton of features that some other video themes don’t. That’s probably because this is really a premium multi purpose theme that just happens to be a video portfolio, rather than attempting to be a YouTube or Vimeo clone theme.
Orion Press
The Orion Press Theme, made by WP Galaxy, is a specially designed theme for those who want to build a news and magazine type of website.

Avada is definitely the most popular WordPress theme on the market and now it supports a video slider, which is the version shown above. This theme is incredible, the level of detail is amazing and it’s so flexible, there’s nothing it can’t do. Possibly that is why Avada is incredibly widely used. Check it out.

[Empire
MoonBear Themes has upped their ante with the creation of the Empire Theme. This theme boasts an elegant yet simple take on the popular portfolio website design for artists, photographers, illustrators, and other individuals in the artistic field. The theme’s creators meant the theme for minimal cpanel or WordPress dashboard management. It is their goal for the end user to concentrate more on their craft and let the website do the work when showcasing their art.
Empire Theme is easy to use with a built-in visual composer and page builder. As an end user, all you have to do its type your blog posts and upload your photographs of your art and the theme will automatically create sliders and layout grids to showcase them.

Video Pro
VideoPro is a feature-rich WordPress theme that’s absolutely dedicated to video, this isn’t some theme that’s been repurposed from a typical portfolio or blog theme, it’s been designed from the ground up as a completely responsive video theme for video sites, news & magazine sites or any type of sites that you can imagine that depend on offering high quality video, whether it’s self hosted or streaming from Vimeo or Youtube. What subject matter your site is about, well that’s up to you. The professional design, layout and clean, modern style lends itself to a wide variety of purposes, like news magazines, political videos, games, news, movies and entertainment and plenty more. VideoPro is now fully integrated with BuddyPress too, so you can craft a solid online community around your videos. Pretty handy.
Primero
Primero wants to be the first thing you think of when you think of a video-centric blog template. I do like the design, but it’s very specific, maybe not to everybody’s taste. Primero is a blog that isn’t *just* about videos though, you can use it as a great looking standard blog with photos and a lot of text. Three featured sliders are included for variety, there are four navigation styles, video documentation is included and with the detailed help file, you should be able to solve any issues you could possibly run into using Primero.
Black Label
Black Label offers a fullscreen video or image background for promoting your video content. Recently Black Label was completely redesigned and it shows. WooCommerce is now fully supported and you can use the WPML functionality to make Black Label look and work properly in any language. The design is responsive, multiple portfolios are available. The reviews have been very positive since the redesign and with over 4000 downloads and counting, this theme has been very popular and looks likely to remain very popular in the future.
VideoMag
VideoMag is pretty much exactly what you’d think it might be, a classic video blog or magazine theme. More and more sites are sharing more and more video, because it’s so easy to create a solid looking video with high quality camera phones and simple, cheap editing software. Video Mag supports all the standard embedded video sources, Vine, Vimeo, Daily Motion, Twitch and YouTube, as well as giving you the option to self host your own videos. But saving your server may be a good idea, so if I were you, I’d consider embedding videos. Then again, if your server isn’t an issue, self hosting allows you to control whether advertising is shown and if you do show ads, that’s a great way to monetize a site. Anyway, I could see the argument either way.
VideoMag is powered by Orange Themes page builder, which is a visual drag and drop page builder, similar to Visual Composer. If you’re not familiar with it, it’s largely similar to Visual Composer, so folks with experience with that plugin should do just fine. If you don’t know either, it’s still relatively simple to use just about any drag and drop page builder to create a good looking website. Orange Themes also adds a custom HTML video player with logo overlay, Orange Themes mega menu, custom post layouts, a unique homepage design, a highly customizable GUI with a very nice control panel, visual shortcodes and a lot more.
News Tube
NewsTube is a well organized and modern looking video magazine or blog theme, it’s totally responsive and packs in so many features, you’re going to get dizzy trying to name them all. Probably not, but still, it’s a lot of features. NewsTube supports embedded videos from Vimeo, YouTube and DailyMotion and you can even allow for front end submissions, so your users can easily create channels and playlists. If you want to have a site with tons of user generated content, NewTube is a great choice.
FilmMaker
Filmmaker is aportfolio theme for creative companies, production companies, cinematographers or motion graphic designers who want a great way to highlight their showreel or film and video portfolio. Filmmaker was created by an elite author on ThemeForest and it’s absolutely packed with great design and features. I love the typography in particular, the responsive design, the one click installation, infinite layouts and looks you can create. WPML support means you can translate Filmmaker into any language, which is important, since so many of your visitors are likely to come to your site from other places around the world.
Video Touch
