Dreamweaver Hanging with Video

Report · Jun 06, 2020

Dreamweaver hangs when I open a page that has an inline video. Is there a reason for this, (considering I have a mac I think can handle it.)?

Could it be that the code is faulty?

Wappler, the only real Dreamweaver alternative.

Hi Ben.

I don't think it is, but I'll double check. Thanks

Switch to Design View (see screenshot) and disable video autoplay.

Document Toolbar > Design View

Hi Nancy,

That would be a good solution, but I don't like design view.

I just recall that in older versions of Dreamweaver, with a lower spec of mac, it could be handled.

As a test, copy & paste this responsive embed code into a new, blank document. If it causes DW to choke, you may need to Restore Preferences.
