Pre-roll and Post-roll in Sequencer

Hi,

Anyone knows what actually are "pre-roll” and "post-roll“ in sequencer mean and how are they used in which circumstances?

I am also curious about this issue today.

This is the relevant document description I found on the official website.
It roughly means that it is used for early loading or expansion of animation tracks and media tracks.

Check this button “Pre/Post Roll” in the editor interface to control the UI display

hope it will be helpful to you.
