investigate

• keypoints

clips:
  - file: 'something.mp4'
    trim:
       start: '0.4'
       variable_length: 'end'
    keypoints:
      - name: important_moment
        timestamp: '4.5'
  - file: something_else.mp4
    keypoints:
      - name: important_moment
        timestamp: '1.0'
# InputError when two keypoints cant be matched.
# E.g. one clip has a start time too far away,
# or a end time too short to meet the keypoint

timeline:
  - id: CLIP_0
  - id: CLIP_1

• variable declarations

duration_vars:
  clip_0_important_moment: '0.5'

• timeline tree

timeline:
  - id: CLIP_0
    next:
      - id: CLIP_1
  - id: CLIP_2
   next:
      - id: CLIP_3

keypoint use cases we havent covered:

• "stop this clip at this keypoint"
• "start this clip at this keypoint"

we should be able to cover these with duration variables...though itd be nice if we didnt have to reintroduce them
