The video is not responsive at smaller widths and gets cut off like this:

Here's how I used FitVids jQuery to make YouTube videos responsive:
Fantastic, thank you for the Dynamik tutorials as always!
I followed your steps as above. But the oembed doesn’t seem to work. I have also tried the [embed] shortcode doesn’t seem to work. I have has trouble with this before. Maybe I am doing something very simple wrong.

When you say
“2) Created a file named say, jquery.fitvids.init.js having the following in the same path”
does this mean that this ‘jquery.fitvids.init.js’ file should be saved to wp-content/js ?
aloha 🙂
Yes.
Namaste 🙂
