Problem
When playing a video, the playhead continues moving but the timeline viewport stays in the same position.
Once the playhead reaches the edge of the visible timeline, it moves out of view. The user then has to manually scroll the timeline while playback is still running.
This becomes particularly inconvenient when editing longer videos.
Proposed Feature
Add an optional Auto-scroll / Follow Playhead mode for the timeline.
When enabled:
- The timeline automatically scrolls horizontally as the video plays.
- The playhead always remains visible.
- The timeline could keep the playhead near the center of the viewport.
- Auto-scroll stops when playback is paused.
- Manually scrolling the timeline could temporarily override auto-scroll.
