I like the result and the interaction a lot, but I'm with DavidK about 
the somewhat lack of discoverability of this feature.

I agree that timelines will normally have one dimension and a 2d preview 
might be misleading... what about using the bottom timeline as the 
preview zone? basically just by painting the grayish time window not all 
the way to the bottom, but corresponding to the same area of the top band?
