Implement Visual Timeline Editor

[codedbytahir]

Designed and implemented a browser-based visual timeline editor for MotionForge compositions.

Key Features:

• Timeline UI: Horizontal time axis, tracks (layers), draggable/resizable clips, and zoom support.
• Virtualized Rendering: High performance for long videos by rendering only visible clips and markers.
• Code Generation: "Export as MotionForge Component" generates clean, production-ready React code.
• CLI Integration: Launch the editor using motionforge --editor.
• Architecture: Separated editor logic into a reusable module within the motionforge package.

Implementation Details:

• State Management: Used Zustand for a clean, non-spaghetti state.
• Deterministic Calculations: Frame-perfect positioning and duration management.
• Verification: UI and functionality verified with Playwright screenshots.
• Documentation: Comprehensive updates to READMEs and CHANGELOG.

Poem

🐰 A pattern we add with care so keen,
To dist folders, now unseen,
ESLint hops right past the build,
With ignore rules so gently filled! ✨
