It may be your system specs - specifically your GPU. Try going to View > Preview Mode > Fast. Also try making your stage smaller by using the drop-down in the upper right corner where you'll see a numerical percentage. Or use Command/Ctrl - and that will help playback inside of Animate. The frame rate while working is only a target for Animate to try and maintain. This isn't pre-rendered fixed-frame format until you literally export it. A published SWF is also a good way to test your frame rate. Just remember the bigger the objects moving, the more objects moving simultaneously and use of masks, will all contribute to slower playback inside of Animate. Since you are experiencing performance issues with minimal motion, I suspect your system may be under-powered...?

Those specs are great actually. You said you uplaoded the FLA but I see no link.

Frames should either be 24fps or 30fps. Try that. Also maybe do a restart to clear your memory and make sure you have all the requirements within your system to run animate. https://helpx.adobe.com/animate/system-requirements.html

If that doesn't work uninstall the software and reinstall it.

25fps is actually UK standard tho (PAL) - it wouldn't be the cause of poor playback performance 🙂

The attachment is not a video, it's the SWF runtime and as such you're also able to see contents outside the stage.

If your SWF matches or exceeds your screen resolution, UI elements from your operating system (like windows taskbar) will force the flash player to open at a different screen ratio, stretching it at the sides.

How to fix this? Set your stage at a smaller size like 720p (1280 x 720 px) which will make the flash player window smaller, giving it enough room play at the proper screen ratio. Then export at a higher resolution when you're finished.

When you actually render it to video, like an MP4, no frames will be dropped since the encoding is frame based, the stage margins will also be properly clipped so you won't see any objects outside the screen.
