Learn how to insert HTML5 video in your web pages and preview the video in a browser.
Dreamweaver allows you to insert HTML5 video into web pages.
The HTML5 video element provides a standard way to embed movies or videos in web pages.
For more information on HTML5 video element, see the article on HTML5 Video at W3schools.com.
Insert HTML5 video
-
-
Select Insert > HTML > HTML5 Video. The HTML5 video element is inserted at the specified location.
-
In the Properties panel, specify values for the various options.
Source / Alt Source 1 / Alt Source 2: In Source, enter the location of the video file. Alternatively, click the folder icon to select a video file from the local file system. Support for a video format varies on different browsers. If the video format in Source is not supported on a browser, the video format specified in Alt Source 1 or Alt Source 2 is used. The browser selects the first recognized format to display the video.
Note:To quickly add videos to the three fields, use multiple selection. When you choose three video formats for the same video from a folder, the first format in the list is used for the Source. The following formats in the list are used to auto-fill Alt Source 1 and Alt Source 2.
See the table below for more information on browser and supported video format. For the latest info, see HTML5 - Browser Support.
