- Comp durations (comp.new / comp.settings) are whole frames.
- layer.addItem start/out, layer.timing in/out/start/delta and time-stretch in/out snap to
the nearest comp frame; prop.addKey / prop.set with an explicit time key the nearest frame.
- The demo project builds every time on 29.97 fps frames (Lower Third in = frame 150 =
0:00:05:00, comp = 300 frames).
- Test: demo + commands stay frame-aligned.

Engine (mask.rs, tests in tests_timeline.rs incl. render + undo/redo):
mask.new, mask.addVertex, mask.setVertex, mask.setClosed (Layer > Mask and Shape Path >
Closed), mask.selectVertices, mask.moveVertices (merged drags), mask.deleteVertices
(Delete with vertices selected), mask.remove / mask.removeAll (Layer > Mask). Edits of an
animated Mask Path key the current time.
Viewer: Pen tool on the selected layer - click = corner vertex, drag = Bezier vertex,
click the first vertex to close, Esc/Enter or another tool ends the path; rubber band to
the pointer. Selection tool: click/shift-click mask vertices, drag selected vertices,
drag tangent handles (symmetric; Alt breaks). Vertices register automation ids
viewer.mask.<uid>.vertex.<i>. Mode/inverted/feather/opacity/expansion stay in the
timeline mask rows.

- Properties with an expression get an editor row in the timeline: Expression label,
enable (=) switch, pick whip, syntax-error warning, and a multiline code editor in the
time-graph area (commits on blur or Cmd/Ctrl+Enter via prop.setExpression).
- Expression pick whip: drag onto another property row -> prop.pickWhip (AE reference
expression). Parent pick whip in Parent & Link: drag onto a layer -> layer.setParent.
- Alt-click on a stopwatch starts with the property's own reference (transform.opacity).
- Timeline rows have variable heights; the empty-graph box-select area sits under the rows.

- Current time shown as AE does: 0:00:02:15 (hours unpadded; time::format_timecode_ae),
frame count zero-padded to 5 digits (00075 (29.97 fps)).
- Time ruler labels in seconds:frames (00:15f, 01:00f) with frame-based adaptive spacing.
- time.set snaps seconds to the nearest frame (2.5 s at 29.97 -> frame 75).
- Mode / Track Matte columns hidden until Toggle Switches/Modes (F4), as in AE's default.
- Timeline outline pane sized to its columns and clipped so Parent & Link never draws
over the time graph in narrow timelines.

Engine (all commands with undo/redo + tests in engine/src/tests_timeline.rs):
- keys.copy/paste (Edit Copy/Cut/Paste route to keys when keys are selected;
relative timing kept, paste at CTI, cross-property paste of same type),
keys.selectAll (Cmd+Alt+A), keys.nudge* (Alt+Arrow, Alt+Shift+Arrow),
keys.set / keys.setEase (graph editor drags), keys.info (dialog data),
keys.timeReverse; keys.interpolation gains continuous/auto Bezier, spatial
interpolation and roving; keys.velocity takes per-dimension values and
Continuous.
- Roving keys (keyframe::retime_roving): constant speed along the motion path.
- Layer > Time: layer.timeStretch (percent|duration, hold in/current/out),
layer.timeReverse (Cmd+Alt+R), layer.enableTimeRemap (Cmd+Alt+T),
layer.freezeFrame, layer.freezeOnLastFrame; render uses Time Remap as the
source time for precomp/footage layers.
- prop.separateDimensions (X/Y/Z Position; prop.set on Position writes them).
- layer.setParent compensates so the layer stays in place (compensate:false
to opt out).
- prop.pickWhip writes AE-style reference expressions (thisComp.layer(..),
effect(..)(..), mask(..).maskFeather, temp=…;[temp,temp], …[0]).
- prop.setExpression: syntax errors keep the text but disable the expression.
- expr: arrays of properties returned by an expression are resolved.
UI: Keyframe Velocity, Keyframe Interpolation and Time Stretch dialogs;
Graph Editor (value + speed graphs, draggable keys and Bezier/influence
handles, auto-zoom, fit, show selected, separate dimensions, hold/linear/
auto Bezier/Easy Ease buttons); key + layer context menus. Clears the
workspace clippy -D warnings failures.

Adds 105 effects in new modules (keying, matte, channel, blur2, color2, stylize2, noise, generate2, distort2, perspective, transition, utility) plus shared plane/morphology/guided-filter helpers in util.rs, with 96 new unit tests.
