Is timeline a good choice for previewing gameplay?

I have to make some kind of “gameplay preview” on the title screen of my game. To be clearer, I want to play some “gameplay replay” on my title screen. This is not a new thing - if you could recall the classic mario game title screen (something like this) you know what I am talking about.

Timeline looks powerful. I never used Timeline before and I am willing to learn. But I have a tight deadline so I really want to ask whether timeline is a good choice for making this feature. Or is there something else that you’d recommend.

My game is 2D.

That very highly depends on how your game works.

I recommend you watch this video :

The parts you’re interested in are between 13:30 and 33:00 but the whole video is quite informative.
