Create Composition Workflow
A Helios composition is a web page (HTML/JS) that uses the @helios-project/core library to drive animations. This page can be viewed in the Browser, embedded in the Player, or rendered to video by the Renderer.

<!DOCTYPE html>

<style>
body { margin: 0; overflow: hidden; background: black; }
canvas { display: block; width: 100vw; height: 100vh; }
