is with respect to the time you set for the view. For example, if
you set a frame offset of 5 and selected the Follow Master option,
the proxy in the view always displays the frame that is five frames ahead
of the frame currently running in global time. If you deselected
Follow Master, the proxy in the view always displays the frame that
is five frames ahead of the frame running in the local time of the
view.

Updates the proxy at each frame when you play the composition.
Deselect to update proxy only when you stop playing the composition,
and only at the scrub frames when you scrub through the composition.

it maintains the frame rate set for the composition. Deselect to have
the view maintain the frame rate for the composition, at the expense
of dropping the frames where necessary.
