Having a small issue that when I play a stinger animation it plays for about 100ms-200ms then resets and plays normally but it's noticeable. I will try and get an example video uploaded to better explain the problem.

UPDATE: When I play the stinger, for example 'Stinger 1' it will highlight the overlay layer 1 in blue for the stinger media file. If I then press the number 4 overlay for the stinger media file, the transition will play seamlessly and will also work like a stinger should (switches between preview and active). Then, once it has played through it won't let me click the overlay layer 4 again until I press stinger. It will then play completely fine when I press stinger the first time but if I try and play it again using the stinger button the stuttering happens again until I press an overlay button for the stinger media file.

The only thing I can think of that might cause this issue is perhaps a codec issue? Has anyone else experienced this?

If your video stinger is rendered with audio, then yes, you can play it with audio.

Also, I would suggest that the stutter is a glitch somewhere in your chain... it just doesn't like some aspect of the file, loading or accessing it for smooth playback, not that there is anything wrong with the file per se, it just has an issue with playing it back consistently and smoothly. I would try rendering it again as an alternate version (with the audio swoosh you want this time). In addition, you may want to place it on another drive or folder to see if that makes a difference. I have had similar issues with stuttering 'stinger' videos and I found it easier to "change" the file than to try and figure out what the root cause was (there are certainly a lot of processes going on at any given time with computers and I think it has something to do along those lines, I am no geek but it just appears to me to be timing out ever so briefly and then catching up to itself instead of playing back smoothly).
