Dots Around The Original Drawing

I just got Adobe Animate (The trial) last night. I was trying to copy and paste or move some keyframes. Whenever I do so though, it leaves weird gray dots around places where I've used the paint brush. Images below:

I would love to know how to not have those dots show up. Another question:

How do you slow down Audio?

    The artwork that you imported is a bitmap. The grey dots show the background area that is included in the imported art. These dots only show when the object is selected. If you double click on the art you can then edit the art to remove that extra area if you want to.

    You can't change the playback rate of imported audio in Animate. If you are working on an Actionscript format file then you can set the audio's Sync property to Stream so that you can scrub the audio. This wil allow you to more easily sync graphics to the audio content. This feature is not available in the HTML5 Canvas format.
