Ren'Py Weird transparent frame before animation starts

[3DeadAngel]

This is something which makes my head scratch for quite some time now as I personally haven't seen a single post about this. Basically whenever you enter an animation it has a short weird transparent frame (The picture shown here i just downloaded from google. In my game it shows for a short time only and it's hard to screenshot it but it looks like this transparent image)

Any ideas what this might be? My code looks like this:
image blabla movie = Movie(play="blabla.webm")

scene blabla movie with Dissolve(.3)

Where have you looked for such post exactly ?
Just for the Dev Help part of the forum there's at least a dozen threads regarding that particular issue. I'm almost sure that I answered to few in that part of the forum and in the general troubleshooting section, and there's surely also few posts in some Ren'Py game threads, while I doubt that there's none in the part of the forum dedicated to sole developers. And of course,

That is, like said somewhere in the doc, Ren'Py's default background. A black screen for players, and the usual transparency checkered scheme, for a better visibility, when the developer mode is unable.

The time during which Ren'Py have already removed the previous image, but haven't yet finished to load the movie.

Thanks! I guess I'm blind then. I was googling my issue but I guess I wasn't clear of how I written my problem in there so there was no answers at all.
Sorry for wasting your time with this ahahah
