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? -- Stefano Mazzocchi Application Catalyst Metaweb Technologies, Inc.
