 Show detailed trimming feedback: Select this checkbox to show the “two-up” display
in the Viewer for more accurate feedback on an edit point involving two contiguous
clips. For example, for a simple ripple or roll edit, this display shows the end point of
the left clip and the start point of the right clip.
 Position playhead after edit operation: Select this checkbox to have the playhead
automatically positioned in the Timeline at the end of your last edit. For example,
if you insert a clip between two clips in the Timeline, the playhead is automatically
positioned between the inserted clip and the clip that follows it.
