//! Essential Graphics (Window ▸ Essential Graphics) and master properties.
//!
//! - **Authoring**: a comp's controls ([`EssentialGraphics`]): Add Property to Essential
//! Graphics, Media Replacement for footage layers, groups, comments, renaming, reordering, the
//! template name and the panel's Primary composition.
//! - **Instances**: every precomp layer of such a comp shows the controls under **Essential
//! Properties**; changing one overrides it for that instance only (`essential.set`, or any
//! property edit of the master property); Push to Comp writes the override into the source
//! comp, Revert drops it.
//! - **Templates**: `essential.exportTemplate` writes an open `.ectemplate` (a ZIP holding
//! `manifest.json` with the exposed controls, `project.ecproj` with the comp and everything it
//! uses, the media files and a poster frame); `essential.importTemplate` merges one into the
//! project and adds an instance to the active comp.
