Snap Frames An on/off toggle that sets the Motion Mixer to snap all
adjustments to single frames.
Snap Clips An on/off toggle that causes clips residing on the same track
to snap together. The end frame of one clip will match the start frame of the
next clip. If the first clip ends at frame 100, the start frame of the next clip
will snap to frame 100.
When Snap Clips is on, transition edges snap to clip edges when dragged.

can change display settings for clips, transitions, and frames.

Named selection Lets you enter a name for the current
selection. This field is similar to named selections for 3ds Max objects (on the
main toolbar), but unlike named object selections, you can rename an existing
set.
To create a named selection, select the clips for the set, enter a name in the
named selectionfield, and then press Enter. You can reselect an existing
selection set by choosing its name from the drop-down list.
Named sets of clips in the mixer are saved with the MAX file but not with MIX
files.
