Masonry Grid with Vimeo link that can be previewed on the grid page

Hi,

I recently purchased "Be Theme" and I've been fiddling with it for the past few hours and I cannot figure it out.  So my intention of this theme was to create something that resembles "Behance" feed.  I will be posting mainly vimeo links on my posts so I can have it masonry grid with vimeo link that can be previewed from the grid page.  

So as a test, I put up some posts to see if it worked, but it ends up looking like this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/adstqgww8f5i4y1/Screen%20Shot%202017-05-26%20at%201.39.22%20AM.png?dl=0 

It's a screengrab from one of the live preview from Be Theme sample website.

I cannot figure this out, and I was wondering if anyone had done it with vimeo link on a masonry grid. Or thought if anyone else is looking for the solution.  Thank you for reading.  

A desperate Be Theme user

    Thank you for fast reply.  But I've already watched your Be Theme related videos, and stayed up all night trying to figure it out.  No luck.  It seems like I need to put thumbnails on posts to be shown on "Recent Post" but that's not what I want to do.  At least, that's not how it seemed on that vimeo preview on your "Live Preview"  There is simply no explanation how to turn on/off featured image or how to make videos come on as a preview.  I tried modifying from a "Pre-built website" but that didn't work either.  If I come here and provide screen captures, that means I came here as a last resort, because I've tried every way possible and couldn't find answers.  I read your pdf documentation, watched every video on Be Theme on your Youtube channel, went through all the tabs on your online documentation page.  I believe your theme is one of the best themes I've seen so far, but in terms of explanation goes, it really didn't help me much.  I will probably continue searching for answers for a few hours, and get frustrated and go back to my old mediocre theme.  =*(

    There are many options and you can get easily confused, we know. But there are many possibilities. Please tell me what do you want to acomplish and I will help you, do you want a masonry blog?
    1. Go to settings>reading and set the blog page
    2. Go to theme options>blog,portfolio&shop>blog and set the blog style.
    If you want to have a featured image please set it here: http://prntscr.com/fcc3hp
    If you want a video instead of the normal picture do this:
    1. Upload a video or set a youtube video ID, like here: http://prntscr.com/fcc3xw
    2. Set the post type to video, like here: http://prntscr.com/fcc44x
    Now you can see the video is here: http://prntscr.com/fcc4t1
    In the blog option you also have to set the option to eiter display the featured image on the blog or the video, like so: http://prntscr.com/fcc5hk

    I hope this helps
