Curious if there is a way to do any of this while still allowing the player controls to be available. Because without that there is no accessibility. It also may be nice for learners to be able to pause or skip around. When that is done though the timing gets all messed up and the interactions break.
For example if i have a cue point at 21 seconds on the timeline that does not directly link to 21 seconds in the video. If the video is skipped the buttons on my second layer will be missed and the video will pause on the 21st second of time on that slide not the video. The interactions cannot be timed to the video if you allow player controls to be available.
Other methods like placing all the elements on the timeline and not other layers still have the same issue. For instance if I pause the video my interactions may appear before they are intended to because the timeline cue-points aren't locked to the video time.
Thanks for any ideas.

There doesn't have to be any special trigger or interaction in that hotspot - all you do is draw a hotspot over the video, then right click -> uncheck 'Show Hand Cursor', and it acts like an invisible wall. That way, your interactions will pop in the right time without your learners messing with your video playback time.
Another suggestion I can possibly give is to disable certain Player controls (not the video, but the Player itself) for the slide where you want to put that video, as a precaution
