Description

Problem

Just saw your work, checked your web beta version, I've had already experienced building a timeline, I wanted to suggest an important reconsideration before it's too late, about your current timeline implementation using React DOM (html/css...) which will affect the performance by a lot and instead use canvas like opencut (and most powerful online video editors) does

Solution

use canvas implementation

Research direction

The issue names no file, test, or entry point; begin by locating the existing React DOM timeline implementation in the TypeScript project. Review the proposed canvas approach and define what timeline behavior and performance evidence would count as done, since the payload provides no validation target.
