Example Code

[self.viewVideoBackground setBackGroundVideo:@"CrocoVideo" withRepeat:YES withOverlayColor:[UIColor blackColor] andAlpha:0.7 andBackgroundScalingMode:CROCOVideoBackgroundModeAspectFill];

Tipe of scaling

typedef NS_ENUM(NSInteger, CROCOVideoBackgroundModes) {
    CROCOVideoBackgroundModeNone,       // No scaling
    CROCOVideoBackgroundModeAspectFit,  // Uniform scale until one dimension fits
    CROCOVideoBackgroundModeAspectFill, // Uniform scale until the movie fills the visible bounds. One dimension may have clipped contents
    CROCOVideoBackgroundModeFill        // Non-uniform scale. Both render dimensions will exactly match the visible bounds
};
