Screen Recording playback not smooth - page loading visible

No worries. FYI, when I selected the reply button in your previous email instead of taking me to discussions it opens up a new email in Outlook addressed to 'reply-538773@heroes-prod-reply.articulate.com'. It obviously did not reach you. On to the discussion at hand:

First, answers to your questions:

• Storyline 360 version: 3.18.16333.0 (although I just updated and when I created the .story in question it might have be the previous version)
• Chrome version: 68.0.344.84

Now the weird part:

Here is my peek recording of the Storyline 360 output link you sent me. Notice that it shows the “three dots” during transitions where your recording of this same output did not.

The first time I viewed your Storyline output (not your peek) I only saw the three dots once or twice between transitions during playback. The second time I watched it, the number of times I saw the three dots during transitions increased. My peek recording was the fourth time I viewed the recording. The three dots seem to appear at almost every transition.

To validate I sent the link of your output to my colleague to see it she might have a different result. Upon selecting the link, the “Resume/Restart” screen appeared. She selected Restart and watched for the recording for the first time on her PC. The three dots appeared as many times as they did in my peek video.

SIDE NOTE: She had previously created a Storyline 360 screen recording in which we didn’t see the three dots initially during slide transitions but after a few plays we did.

At the outset it appears that some degradation occurs over the number of times played but not sure it that is true in your environment (i.e. if you ran the recording three of four times back to back you would experience the same result?) If that is not the case then I am open to any ideas or thoughts you have on this conundrum. Don’t mind the back and forth.

Thank you.
