Slip Tool Not Showing All Previews?

How do I get the slip tool to show the little previews above the start/end preview boxes like in this support demo

 

When I do it I only see two. It's been like this as long as I can remember.

 

 

I always found the Slip Tool annoying to use because I didn't know it was supposed to have the previews above (for what I believe are the view at the playhead, which is usually what I care about seeing). Until I saw some tutorial that had them. 

 

Not sure if it's a problem with my configuration or what. I tried using the slip tool in a fresh installation on a new virtual machine and it still only shows the above.

To see both sides the clips needs a clip on the left side and on the right side.

Might want to uncheck Composite Preview in Trim Mode (wrench timeline).

Ah ok thanks you're right, it shows the smaller top previews when there's clips on the left and/or right. 

 

I guess there isn't a way to have it show what I wanted, which would be a preview for the what the frame will be at the playhead, instead of previewing the new start/end frames.

 

A lot of times I'm adding B-Roll and want some particular part to sync up with a certain point in the timeline. I guess adding a marker to the clip is still the best way for that.
