Floating layer on hero section

Dennis

With the new site designer, I have created multiple content showcases.  It's AWESOME!  My site is starting to look like a "Netflix of porn", with my best content on top.  :-)  
With 6 content showcases on my homepage and me only adding 1 video / week, it's not always clear that (or when) a new video has been posted.
I "could" solve this with a "most recent" content showcase on top of my page, but that would kind of negate the whole idea of having my best looking content on top.
So in an ideal world ... (don't shoot me. haha), it would be so awesome if we have a thumbnail of either the most recent publiscation or the one that is scheduled in the nearest future, on top of the hero video.  (I would place it on the right).  Or even both.
Probably there are more pressing things, but I think this would be very cool.  Or feel free to think outside of the box ... the goal is to just make the visitor aware of any new content, so they see the site is getting updated regularly.

We could make it only for desktop. I've changed the name of this topic to "Floating layer on hero section"

Please keep the ideas coming. We still plan to keep working on the new site builder until we've basically added every feature request that has come in (that is reasonable).

Can you please clarify what you mean by "on top of the hero video". Are you able to share a screenshot or illustration of what you mean.

Kris actually, the more I think about it, the more unrealistic I understand my idea to be.  
So what I meant was something like in attachment.  the "New Video" with the thumbnail of the latest video would be a thumbnail (clickable) of the latest video.  
On a desktop, I think this looks really cool and it's a good way to show your site is active.  You could add a "published 2 days ago" label to it, or you can even show 2 thumbnails there, one with the latest video and one with the "next scheduled one".
But then I got to thinking that this would look horrible on a smartphone.  So maybe it's not the best idea.
Alternatively, maybe we could have a system that allows us to have a preview "as" the hero.  So replace the video with a video of the latest piece of content.
But anyway ... this one should probably be at a low priority.  :-)
