Hi,
C4D has a limited memory assigned to Picture Viewer, the green dot indicates that the frame has been loaded in memory, while the gray dot means that it is not.
So, nothing serious, in my opinion.

About the settings, please, always use the Geometry Control set to All Object Movable, instead of Auto, and, most important, don’t save you animated render directly in AVI or MOV or any other movie file format, but always save your frames in PNG or EXR sequence.
ciao Beppe

Yes, if you save directly in a movie format, the frames are compressed during saving, and the quality is lost (banding effect, coloring, and so on).
Save the frame separately to preserve the quality.
