+</div>
+```
+<!-- /html-only -->
+
+## Timeline Integration
+
+<!-- html-only -->
+Thumbnails automatically integrate with timeline zoom and scroll.
+
+```html live
+<ef-timegroup mode="contain" class="w-[720px] h-[480px] bg-black" id="timeline-thumbs">
+  <ef-video src="https://assets.editframe.com/bars-n-tone.mp4" class="size-full object-contain"></ef-video>
+</ef-timegroup>
+<div class="mt-4 h-[350px] bg-gray-900 rounded-lg overflow-hidden">
+  <ef-timeline target="timeline-thumbs"></ef-timeline>
+</div>
+<div class="mt-2 text-white text-sm">
+  Thumbnails automatically appear in video tracks. Zoom in to see more detail.
+</div>
+```
+<!-- /html-only -->
+<!-- react-only -->
+ThumbnailStrip is typically used inside Timeline:
+
+```tsx
+import { Timeline, Timegroup, Video } from "@editframe/react";
+
+<Timeline className="w-full h-96" />
+
+<Timegroup mode="sequence" className="w-[1920px] h-[1080px]">
+  <Video src="/video.mp4" />
+</Timegroup>
+```
+<!-- /react-only -->
+
+<!-- html-only -->
+## Timegroup Thumbnails
+
+Generate thumbnails from entire compositions, not just video.
+
+```html live
+<ef-timegroup mode="sequence" class="w-[720px] h-[480px] bg-black" id="comp-thumbs">
+  <ef-timegroup class="flex items-center justify-center">
+    <ef-video src="https://assets.editframe.com/bars-n-tone.mp4" sourcein="0s" sourceout="2s" class="absolute inset-0 size-full object-contain"></ef-video>
+    <h1 class="text-white text-6xl font-bold bg-blue-600 p-6 rounded relative">One</h1>
+  </ef-timegroup>
+  <ef-timegroup class="flex items-center justify-center">
+    <ef-video src="https://assets.editframe.com/bars-n-tone.mp4" sourcein="5s" sourceout="7s" class="absolute inset-0 size-full object-contain"></ef-video>
+    <h1 class="text-white text-6xl font-bold bg-purple-600 p-6 rounded relative">Two</h1>
+  </ef-timegroup>
+</ef-timegroup>
+<div class="mt-4 h-[60px] bg-gray-900 rounded-lg overflow-auto">
+  <ef-thumbnail-strip target="comp-thumbs" thumbnail-height="60"></ef-thumbnail-strip>
+</div>
+```
+<!-- /html-only -->
+<!-- react-only -->
+## Target Video Element
+
+Generate thumbnails for a specific video:
+
+```tsx
+import { ThumbnailStrip, Video } from "@editframe/react";
+
+<div className="space-y-2">
+  <div className="h-16 bg-gray-900 rounded">
+    <ThumbnailStrip
+      target="main-video"
+      thumbnailHeight={48}
+      thumbnailSpacingPx={64}
+    />
+  </div>
+
+  <Video
+    id="main-video"
+    src="/video.mp4"
+    className="w-full aspect-video"
+  />
+</div>
+```
+
+## Target Timegroup
+
+Generate thumbnails for a composition:
+
+```tsx
+import { ThumbnailStrip, Timegroup, Video, Text } from "@editframe/react";
+
+<div className="h-12 bg-gray-900">
+  <ThumbnailStrip target="composition" />
+</div>
+
+<Timegroup id="composition" mode="contain" className="w-[1920px] h-[1080px]">
+  <Video src="/background.mp4" className="size-full" />
+  <Text className="absolute top-20 left-20 text-6xl text-white">
+    Title
+  </Text>
+</Timegroup>
+```
+<!-- /react-only -->
+
+## Custom Zoom
+
+Control thumbnail density:
+
+<!-- html-only -->
+For standalone use, provide explicit `pixels-per-ms` attribute.
+<!-- /html-only -->
+<!-- react-only -->
+```tsx
+import { useState } from "react";
+import { ThumbnailStrip, Video } from "@editframe/react";
+
+export const ZoomableThumbnails = () => {
+  const [zoom, setZoom] = useState(0.04);
+
+  return (
+    <div>
+      <input
+        type="range"
+        min="0.01"
+        max="0.2"
+        step="0.01"
+        value={zoom}
+        onChange={(e) => setZoom(parseFloat(e.target.value))}
+        className="w-full mb-2"
+      />
+
+      <div className="h-12 bg-gray-900">
+        <ThumbnailStrip
+          target="video-1"
+          pixelsPerMs={zoom}
+        />
+      </div>
+
+      <Video id="video-1" src="/video.mp4" />
+    </div>
+  );
+};
+```
+<!-- /react-only -->
+
+## Intrinsic Duration
+
+<!-- html-only -->
+By default, thumbnails show the trimmed region of video:
+- `trimstart="2s"` means thumbnails start at 2 seconds into source
+- Duration matches effective video duration
+
+Set `use-intrinsic-duration` to show entire source file regardless of trim.
+<!-- /html-only -->
+<!-- react-only -->
+Use source video duration instead of trimmed duration:
+
+```tsx
+import { ThumbnailStrip, Video } from "@editframe/react";
+
+<ThumbnailStrip
+  target="trimmed-video"
+  useIntrinsicDuration
+  className="h-12"
+/>
+
+<Video
+  id="trimmed-video"
+  src="/video.mp4"
+  trimStart="5s"
+  trimEnd="10s"
+/>
+```
+<!-- /react-only -->
+
+<!-- react-only -->
+## With Direct Element Reference
+
+Pass element reference directly:
+
+```tsx
+import { useRef, useEffect, useState } from "react";
+import { ThumbnailStrip, Video } from "@editframe/react";
+
+export const RefBasedThumbnails = () => {
+  const videoRef = useRef<HTMLVideoElement>(null);
+  const [videoElement, setVideoElement] = useState<Element | null>(null);
+
+  useEffect(() => {
+    if (videoRef.current) {
+      setVideoElement(videoRef.current);
+    }
+  }, []);
+
+  return (
+    <div>
+      <div className="h-12 bg-gray-900 mb-2">
+        <ThumbnailStrip targetElement={videoElement} />
+      </div>
+
+      <Video ref={videoRef} src="/video.mp4" />
+    </div>
+  );
+};
+```
+
+## Styled Thumbnails
+
+Customize appearance with CSS variables:
+
+```tsx
+<ThumbnailStrip
+  target="video-1"
+  className="h-16 bg-gradient-to-b from-gray-900 to-gray-800"
+  style={{
+    '--ef-thumbnail-gap': '4px',
+    '--ef-color-bg-inset': 'rgba(100, 100, 100, 0.3)',
+    '--ef-color-border-subtle': 'rgba(150, 150, 150, 0.5)',
+  } as React.CSSProperties}
+/>
+```

+
+## Features
+
+**Lazy loading** — Only generates thumbnails for visible region as you scroll.
+
+**Viewport virtualization** — Efficiently handles timelines of any length.
+
+**Smart caching** — Caches generated thumbnails and reuses them when possible.
+
+**Adaptive spacing** — Maintains consistent visual spacing at all zoom levels.
+
+**Frame-accurate** — Aligns thumbnails to frame boundaries for precision.
+
+**Video support** — Extracts thumbnails directly from video files.
+
+**Timegroup support** — Renders composition snapshots with all layers.
+
+**Automatic aspect ratio** — Thumbnails match target element dimensions.
+
+## Target Types
+
+<!-- html-only -->
+**Video elements** (`ef-video`):
+<!-- /html-only -->
+<!-- react-only -->
+**Video elements**:
+<!-- /react-only -->
+- Extracts frames directly from video file
+- Fast batch extraction
+- Respects video trim settings
+
+<!-- html-only -->
+**Root timegroups** (top-level `ef-timegroup`):
+<!-- /html-only -->
+<!-- react-only -->
+**Root timegroups**:
+<!-- /react-only -->
+- Renders entire composition to thumbnails
+- Includes all layers (video, text, images)
+- Lower resolution rendering for performance
+
+## How It Works
+
+The thumbnail strip uses different strategies based on target type:
+
+**For videos:**
+1. Uses `ThumbnailExtractor` for batch frame extraction
+2. Decodes video to access raw frames
+3. Caches extracted frames for reuse
+4. Supports source time translation for trimmed videos
+
+**For timegroups:**
+1. Creates off-screen render clone of composition
+2. Seeks to each timestamp and captures canvas
+3. Generates at low resolution (0.25x scale) for performance
+4. Reuses clone for subsequent thumbnail batches
+
+## Thumbnail Positioning
+
+Thumbnails use a stable grid system:
+- Grid is anchored in timeline space (not viewport space)
+- Scrolls naturally with timeline content
+- On zoom, grid snaps to keep thumbnails near viewport edges
+- Prevents visual slipping during zoom operations
+
+Spacing between thumbnails is consistent at all zoom levels, but more thumbnails become visible as you zoom in.
+
+## Performance Optimization
+
+**Batch extraction** — Videos extract multiple frames in one pass.
+
+**Viewport culling** — Only renders thumbnails in visible area plus buffer.
+
+**Canvas pooling** — Reuses canvas elements across renders.
+
+**Abort on scroll** — Cancels in-flight captures when viewport changes.
+
+**Nearest neighbor** — Shows nearby cached thumbnails while loading exact frame.
+
+<!-- react-only -->
+```tsx
+{/* Efficiently handles long videos */}
+<ThumbnailStrip
+  target="long-video"
+  thumbnailSpacingPx={100}
+  className="h-12"
+/>
+
+<Video id="long-video" src="/10-minute-video.mp4" />
+```
+<!-- /react-only -->
+
+## Trimmed Videos
+
+<!-- html-only -->
+By default, thumbnails show the trimmed region of video:
+- `trimstart="2s"` means thumbnails start at 2 seconds into source
+- Duration matches effective video duration
+
+Set `use-intrinsic-duration` to show entire source file regardless of trim.
+<!-- /html-only -->
+<!-- react-only -->
+ThumbnailStrip respects video trim settings by default. Use `useIntrinsicDuration` to show the full source file regardless of trim.
+<!-- /react-only -->
+
+## Timeline Context
+
+When used inside a timeline, the strip automatically:
+- Reads zoom level from timeline context
+- Synchronizes with timeline scroll position
+- Updates viewport window as timeline scrolls
+- Respects timeline state without explicit binding
+
+<!-- html-only -->
+For standalone use, provide explicit `pixels-per-ms` attribute.
+<!-- /html-only -->
+<!-- react-only -->
+For standalone use, provide explicit `pixelsPerMs` prop.
+<!-- /react-only -->
+
+## CSS Custom Properties
+
+Customize appearance:
+
+```css
+ef-thumbnail-strip {
+  --ef-thumbnail-gap: 2px;
+  --ef-color-bg-inset: rgba(100, 100, 100, 0.3);
+  --ef-color-border-subtle: rgba(150, 150, 150, 0.5);
+  --ef-color-error: #ef4444;
+}
+```
+
+## Error States
+
+The component shows error messages for:
+- No target specified
+- Target element not found
+- Invalid target type (must be video or root timegroup)
+
+<!-- html-only -->
+Example error: "Invalid target: 'ef-text' must be ef-video or root ef-timegroup"
+<!-- /html-only -->
+<!-- react-only -->
+```tsx
+<div className="space-y-2">
+  {/* No target specified */}
+  <ThumbnailStrip className="h-12 bg-gray-900" />
+
+  {/* Invalid target type */}
+  <ThumbnailStrip target="not-a-video" className="h-12 bg-gray-900" />
+</div>
+```
+<!-- /react-only -->
+
+<!-- html-only -->
+## Usage in Timeline
+
+Thumbnails are automatically rendered in video and timegroup tracks when inside `ef-timeline`. The timeline manages thumbnail strip lifecycle and positioning.
+
+For custom track implementations, use `ef-thumbnail-strip` directly and manage zoom/scroll context.
+<!-- /html-only -->
+
+<!-- react-only -->
+## Multi-Video Timeline
+
+Each video track gets its own thumbnail strip:
+
+```tsx
+import { Timeline, Timegroup, Video } from "@editframe/react";
+
+<Timeline className="w-full h-96" />
+
+<Timegroup mode="contain" className="w-[1920px] h-[1080px]">
+  {/* Each video appears as a separate track with thumbnails */}
+  <Video src="/video1.mp4" className="absolute top-0 left-0 w-full h-1/2" />
+  <Video src="/video2.mp4" className="absolute bottom-0 left-0 w-full h-1/2" />
+</Timegroup>
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+- ThumbnailStrip targets either `ef-video` or root `ef-timegroup` elements
+- Automatically generates thumbnails for visible viewport area
+- Uses efficient batch extraction for videos
+- Canvas rendering for timegroups at low resolution
+- Thumbnails align to frame boundaries for accuracy
+- Spacing adapts to zoom level
+- Shows placeholder while thumbnails load
+- Cache persists for smooth scrubbing
