Show names for all items in timeline: Shows the names of all items in the Timeline as an overlay. If this option is deactivated you can still hover over an item in the Timeline to see its name.
Show tooltips in the library: Deactivate this option to disable tooltips in the Library while moving the mouse pointer over entries. This option is enabled by default.
Poster frame cache: Defines the folder where poster frames will be saved. By default, poster frames are saved in the folder Poster Frames inside the Documents folder of the current user. This option is enabled by default. Disable it to suppress the creation of new poster frames in the Workbench.
Default video in-point: Changes the in-point of Videos which are dragged from the Library into a Playlist to the specified timecode value (assuming that the Video contains timecode). This is useful if all of your Videos contain a trailer or countdown before the actual video content starts.

...

Live preview when dragging the timeline: When enabled, the On Air window updates while dragging the Timeline. Disabling this option to improve performance of the user interface.
Automatically refresh dropped playlists: Activating this feature automatically refreshes any Playlists when they are dragged from the Playlists tab (in the Library) and dropped onto either the Calendar or the Workbench view. This is useful especially when you have older saved Playlists which do not include the necessary metadata for using the aspect ratio features and you want to automatically include them when dropping Playlists into the schedule.

Info
Depending on the size of the Playlist (= the number of video clips) the Automatically refresh dropped Playlists feature may slow down dropping Playlists into a schedule as each video clip in the Playlist has to be interpreted and the necessary metadata needs to be extracted.
