Exact timing is tough with the limited possibilities in the Storyline timeline. If you use GSAP and javascript for your animations however you can finetune any animation up to the millisecond.
Indeed..it can be done with default Storyline triggers. Clunky probably is the correct wording for it ;-) Not sure about your setup, but where i do think Storyline triggers and timeline fail... if you want to change timing later on...it becomes troublesome... lot of layers, triggers and timeline elements to check and change. Whereas a proper setup with Javascript it can be just changing 1 variable. And then thinking Storyline uses GSAP ( and probably GSAP timelines ) for all its animation..i find it really uncomprehensible that Articulate doesnot give its users that to use.

Thanks, I have found a clunky workaround that does the trick for now.
