  They call that a "zone" which is something like a selection of the timeline. The video you've linked already shows how it can be used.
  
  I don't know why it's already there at the beginning of the video, it seems intentional and a very short Zone-bar is always there by default. That's maybe to remind the user of this feature but in any case is a strange decision in regard of user experience.
  
  The manual indicates such a zone can also be set via the program monitor. [More in the manual.](https://userbase.kde.org/username_0/Manual/Monitors#Creating_Zones_in_Project_Monitor)
