# Editor Toolkit

Build video editing interfaces by composing GUI components. Each component is a self-contained building block that connects to your composition via `target` attributes. The composition itself is built with the `composition` skill — these components provide the controls and views around it.

## Quick Start

```html
<ef-timegroup id="my-video" mode="fixed" duration="5s">
  <ef-video src="/video.mp4" duration="5s"></ef-video>
</ef-timegroup>

<ef-controls target="my-video">
  <ef-toggle-play></ef-toggle-play>
  <ef-scrubber></ef-scrubber>
  <ef-time-display></ef-time-display>
</ef-controls>
```
