I have an idea where there would be an image at the top of the page with a play button in the center. When the image is clicked it disappears and an embedded video of the same size takes is place and begins to autoplay.

this way i can stylize the image and have more control without having to deal with still frames and title bars from the default embedded player.

i'm not really sure how i would accomplish this. any help would be greatly appreciated

It all depends on the type of player you are using. What you can do is just have a simple markup to display the required image and a play button on topic of it. Now on image click you can initialize the player and play inside the same container where image is.

If you are using Flowplayer it is very easy to configure as per your requirement. Take a look at Flowplayer demo at the below link.
