U can setup AVPlayer in another way  that open for u full customization of your video Player screen  Swift 2 3   Create UIView subclass for playing video  basically u can use any UIView object and only needed is AVPlayerLayer  I setup in this way because it much clearer for me   import AVFoundation import UIKit  class PlayerView  UIView    override class func layerClass   - gt  AnyClass       return AVPlayerLayer self    var player AVPlayer        set           if let layer   layer as  AVPlayerLayer               layer player   player                     get           if let layer   layer as  AVPlayerLayer               return layer player           else               return nil                      Setup your player  import AVFoundation import Foundation  protocol VideoPlayerDelegate       func downloadedProgress progress Double      func readyToPlay       func didUpdateProgress progress Double      func didFinishPlayItem       func didFailPlayToEnd      let videoContext UnsafeMutablePointer lt Void gt    nil  class VideoPlayer   NSObject        private var assetPlayer AVPlayer      private var playerItem AVPlayerItem      private var urlAsset AVURLAsset      private var videoOutput AVPlayerItemVideoOutput       private var assetDuration Double   0     private var playerView PlayerView       private var autoRepeatPlay Bool   true     private var autoPlay Bool   true      var delegate VideoPlayerDelegate       var playerRate Float   1           didSet               if let player   assetPlayer                   player rate   playerRate  gt  0   playerRate   0 0                                    var volume Float   1 0           didSet               if let player   assetPlayer                   player volume   volume  gt  0   volume   0 0                                       MARK  -

another Swift 3 Example  The provided solution did not work for me   private func playVideo from file String        let file   file components separatedBy            guard let path   Bundle main path forResource  file 0   ofType file 1   else           debugPrint     file joined separator        not found           return           let player   AVPlayer url  URL fileURLWithPath  path        let playerLayer   AVPlayerLayer player  player      playerLayer frame   self view bounds     self view layer addSublayer playerLayer      player play       useage   playVideo from   video extension     Note  Check Copy Bundle Resources under Build Phases to ensure that the video is available to the Project

None of the above worked for me Swift 5 for Local Video Player  after reading apple documentation I was able to create simple example for playing video from Local resources  Here is code snip  import UIKit import AVKit  class ViewController  UIViewController        override func viewDidLoad             super viewDidLoad             TODO   Make Sure Add and copy  SampleVideo mp4  file in project before play             IBAction func playLocalVideo   sender  Any             guard let path   Bundle main path forResource   SampleVideo   ofType   mp4   else               return                   let videoURL   NSURL fileURLWithPath  path              Create an AVPlayer  passing it the local video url path         let player   AVPlayer url  videoURL as URL          let controller   AVPlayerViewController           controller player   player         present controller  animated  true                player play                           PS  Make sure you don t forget to add and copy video named    SampleVideo mp4  in project

Sure you can use Swift   1  Adding the video file  Add the video  lets call it video m4v  to your Xcode project  2  Checking your video is into the Bundle  Open the Project Navigator cmd   1  Then select your project root   your Target   Build Phases   Copy Bundle Resources   Your video MUST be here  If it s not  then you should add it using the plus button    3  Code  Open your View Controller and write this code   import UIKit import AVKit import AVFoundation  class ViewController  UIViewController        override func viewDidAppear   animated  Bool            super viewDidAppear animated          playVideo              private func playVideo             guard let path   Bundle main path forResource   video   ofType  m4v   else               debugPrint  video m4v not found               return                   let player   AVPlayer url  URL fileURLWithPath  path           let playerController   AVPlayerViewController           playerController player   player         present playerController  animated  true                player play
