Question

How do I insert a video with video controllers, working on ipad?

I am not able to get the videos working fine on iPad. As soon as I am using a video with Skin for a player component, it is not displayed well on the iPad. The player component seems to be a black frame behind the video which doesn't disappear correctly when leaving the slide. The black frame stays there and I can't remove it. Is there a problem with those player components in HTML5? Am I using the wrong video type? How is the best way to do it?

I am using Captivate 9 but had the same issue in Captivate 8. My project is a responsive one, the videos I am trying to display are mp4 files, imported as an event video with progressive download.

Don't use the event video skins from Captivate if you are building HTML5 or Responsive projects. 

The default skins are SWF Flash files and these are not compatible with HTML5. 

In HTML5 content on mobile devices the video player has to be supplied by the mobile browser.

Ok, didn't know that the skins are swf components. If this doesn't work, how do I create a video player?
