Did you find a fix for this by chance? My player controls won't show even after I select to show all controls.

Which application and version was used to create the original document? 

 

Which version of Acrobat Reader or Acrobat Pro are you using to view the PDF?

 

NOTE:  Flash Player is end of life and no longer supported.  For best results, do not use embedded Flash for video.

I added the MP4 video into my document in InDesign 2021 (updated today). Exported as an Interactive PDF, then in Acrobat Pro DC, used the media toolbar to show "all controls". It doesn't.

Acrobat Pro > Tools > Rich Media > right-click for Player skin options.  Pick one and exit Rich Media.

 

This video walks you through the process from InDesign through Acrobat Pro.

If it's TL;DR, FFWD to 5:20.

 

 

Hope that helps.
