## Install

<InstallCommand command="npx hyperframes add yt-circle-pointer" item="yt-circle-pointer" />

That writes one file: `compositions/components/yt-circle-pointer.html`.

## Paste it into your composition

Open `compositions/components/yt-circle-pointer.html` and copy what is inside into your own composition.

A component has no size or duration of its own. It takes both from the composition
you paste it into.
