What's the general idea?
The fundamental representation of a video in editframe is an HTML document.
This HTML document is used to define the timeline, the visual presentation of the video, and timing of animations.

Fundamental editing and compositing primitives such as cutting, sequencing, stacking, and keyframing can all be expressed with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Some are built-in, and the rest Editframe provides as custom elements.
The advantages of using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are many:
- Use familiar HTML, CSS, and JS skills

- Leverage modern web platform features
- Access extensive tooling and libraries
