chrome://tracing - Tracing paint operations in Chrome

I came across this short video about Tracing paint operations in Chrome Canary

I have tried all the options and I can't get to these brilliant features.

1. Paints (snapshots):

2. Layers view:

The video is 1 year old now (it is from April 2013).

Are these features still available?

If yes, how to get to them?

What is tracing mode in Chrome?

Chrome Tracing lets you record a much wider array of performance-relevant data about the browser, so it can be helpful when tracking down a performance issue that isn't strictly JavaScript-related; for instance, GPU issues or cases where one process is waiting on another process.

What is a trace viewer?

Trace Viewer is the frontend for chrome://tracing and Android systrace. Providing rich analysis and visualization capabilities for trace files, supporting both the linux kernel trace format and Chrome's base/trace_event. Trace-viewer is maintained by google.

A smaller number of settings is likely possible:
