Position: Absolute is ugly #22

I need to work out a better way to position cues on top of the video. Unfortunately, position absolute seems to be the most reliable solution for the time being, but it breaks in certain cases - such as presentations that slide around, or where the video itself moves.

Options are:

Keep using position: absolute and add more JS for determining when the video itself moves around
Stop using position: absolute in favour of a more robust positioning solution (as yet unknown.)

Ideas welcome!

what about wrapping video+the text placeholder in a div and use relative positioning ?
