Looping Video in PDF Acrobat DC?

I am applying for an art school that requires I include a portfolio of my work as an A3 pdf (max two pages, min 4 pieces plus process images) and most of my illustration work is animation. I know I can't add moving gifs so I have exported the animations as mp4s to insert into the page, but there doesn't seem to be a way to loop video in Acrobat DC? I found a widget that apparently works to add looping ( VideoPlayer X ), but doesn't seem to be compatible with DC (but could be an issue on my end?) as the current build is from 2014. 

 

Is there a widget that would work with Acrobat DC to loop video automatically so that my animations repeat as intended, or some other way to create a .pdf that includes multiple looping animation pieces/video in the same page?

Playing a video on a PDF page means using Flash Player, so it's not something you should use: https://blogs.adobe.com/conversations/2017/07/adobe-flash-update.html

 

Place videos as attachments into the PDF and use an external player to play them.
