Description

Currently, it's hard to tell where things are happening in a session recording, other than by playing the whole recording and watching, which can take a long time.

At load time we have information about when

• Frames were rendered
• Key events occurred
• Mouse events occurred

And a few other data streams to boot. We should expose these in an easy to read way to the user so they can tell at a glance where the interesting parts of a recording are. We could consider displaying a histogram / heatmap like many video players (e.g. youtube) do.
