Custom playbar for video inserted on slide

I’m looking for a way to add a custom playbar with specific controls to video inserted on a slide in Captivate 2019. The playbar should include Play/Pause/Stop/Mute/CC. Inserting a video as an event video gives the ability to use one of Captivates skins for the playbar, but I don’t see a skin that doesn’t include a scrubber. The learner will need to watch the video before proceeding to the next slide. Also, we’d need closed captions added to the videos. I found some information online that says it isn’t possible to add captions to event videos, but there is a hack using Camtasia.

I’m a new Captivate user, and I tried adding custom buttons following a video by Paul Wilson, but the buttons disappear once the video begins. Googling this issue, it seems like this is due to fluid boxes. The project is a template that was sent to me and it includes placeholders to insert videos on each slide, so there isn’t much I can edit.

The project does not include use of the Captivate playbar for the project. There are interactions on the page and forward and back buttons used to navigate through each page. This project will then be published to scorm and imported to LMS.

I have javascript and css (styles for the buttons and player) for an HTML5 player that I can share, but I don’t know how or if it’s possible to import this to a Captivate project.

I’ve been following videos and information from Adobe Help, but nothing is working. Is this even possible? If so, can you point me to examples/directions/tips that will help?
