Description
Similar to #9110, authors often want the ability to drive videos by animation timelines. See #11587 and https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/6861#issuecomment-2435020274.
We'll need to figure out the details, but this could be something like
document.querySelector('#my-video').timeline = new ViewTimeline(...);
Possibly also with css support, e.g.:
#my-video {
video-timeline: view();
}
