Video controls in a nice layout

I've searched the community but haven't found a solution yet: I have disabled the player in my project because I use my own controls within the slides. There are videos in it that fill the screen. I would like to add a player to the video but if I do so I would have to change my layout to make room for the player under my video. Is there a way to add the player on an additional layer? I know how to do it with pause and play, but I would like to show the progress of video in the player bar without disturbing the dimensions and layout of my slide.

I hope there's some hero out there who has figured this one out!
