Video - show play bar after first view

After watching a video once (forced w/ no play bar), I want the play bar to show during subsequent views. I created and assigned a variable "VideoWatched" and gave it a value of 1. I then created a condition, "if video is equal to a value of 1, show playbar." What am I missing?

Although those questions Lilibiri is asking you could be important to be answered, generally speaking, what you are missing is that Show Playbar or Hide Playbar in Cp12's interactions dialog under More... does not mean a playbar for a video, neither for a slide video (in the Timeline) or the other type of video (formerly known as event video). What Show/Hide Playbar is concerned with is the default build-in playbar with which a user can select Play, Back, Next to navigate the slides or Mute any sound or display/hide the TOC. Hence if you already use and display this default playbar then your conditional "if video is equal to a value of 1, show playbar" looks like nothing is happening.

@kdmemory Sorry, but that was the reason for my first question: if this is NOT a slide video, the CP playbar makes no sense. Try to read the sequence of my questions, they are important. OP states that there is no playbar in first view. If by playbar he is pointing to the control panel for an event video, that would have been clear from the answer to my first question, because the term 'slide video' is clear in verson 12.

Question about the events is even important because I have seen hundreds of suestions in the past where wrong events were used for actions/interactions or the eventt sequence was wrong.

I dudb't add the question if the fact that variables are case sensitive was taken into account.

Which type of video: slide video or not?

Which event do you use for incrementing the user variable? Which event do you use for the conditional interaction?

Hello! Thanks for your reply.
I believe it is a slide video, but I'm brand new to Captivate (all versions), so I don't have all the jargon down. I used a slide in "Assets."
I don't use any events, and I think that must be the problem. How do I create events?
@kdmemory Thanks for your input too! I am, in fact, referring to the default playbar. Ideally, I'd love a timeline to show for just the video, but I am unable to find that component.
I've attached a screenshot of the interactions for reference.
