Video & Audio Preview

Phoenix Code plays video and audio files right in the editor. Click a media file in the file tree and it opens with playback controls, no setup needed.

Video preview in the editor

Above the player you see the file's details: dimensions (for videos), duration, and file size, followed by the file's path.

Supported Formats​

  • Video: mp4, m4v, webm, mkv, ogv, mov
  • Audio: mp3, wav, ogg, m4a, flac, aac, aif, aiff

Whether a format plays can also depend on the codecs your operating system provides. If a file cannot be played, Phoenix Code shows a message stating that it cannot be played.

In the desktop app there is no file size limit. In the browser, files up to 16 MB can be previewed. If you edit a media file outside Phoenix Code, the preview refreshes automatically.
