Found what I was looking for. I was a quarter of the way into building it myself when I stumbled upon the completed project. Props to Stefan Crowe for inventing the wheel for me.

My problem is now solved. But it doesn’t seem like it would be too much trouble to build this right into ACF.
ACF 5.8.0-beta1 still works though…
Wow! So I’m not doing something wrong. Same problem here.
WP 4.9.8
Gutenberg 4.1.1
ACF 5.8.0-beta2
I wish I had visited this page an hour ago…
I recently had the same problem while using WordPress 4.9.2 and ACF 5.6.7 with Genesis 2.5.3 on a MAMP 3 localhost development site. I attempted to embed two mp3 URLs and all I got on the front end was what appeared to be a raw shortcode.

James’ solution worked, but it took me a while to find it. It’s the first glitch I’ve had with ACF Pro, which otherwise works perfectly and is exceedingly well documented.
If this is a recurrent problem, though, perhaps an adjustment to the OEmbed field code is needed. Or, in the meantime, you might copy this code to the documentation page. It might save some other people some time.
I just tried out ptasker’s plugin. What a pleasure to be able to use an HTML editor in ACF!
There is an issue with flexible fields. The plugin works for stand-alone fields but the editor fails in flexible fields. In a recent reply in the support thread ptasker says he’s working on this. I’m looking forward to the update with great anticipation because that’s where I really want to use it.
I left him a favorable review and bought him a cup of coffee (Starbucks or Tim Horton’s or whatever they have in the Great White North). If you’re using the plugin and want to see development continue, you should, too!
Got it. Thanks.
The flexible content field is really powerful but a little more complex than ordinary fields. In terms of documentation, DIY developers like myself (i.e., people building or modifying themes for their own sites) might benefit from a few videos that talk you through setting up the fields in the ACF editor, using them in the WordPress editor, and then getting output through a page template.
ACF Pro is brilliant — especially for building landing pages — but it requires a bit of work to get it going in a theme. A few video tutorials would go a long way toward making it more accessible to the DIY developer crowd — especially if you could target it to users of particular development frameworks, like Genesis.
