Fluffy white clouds drift slowly across a bright blue sky, drawn live in a WebGL shader

## Prompt that renders it frame-exact

Use Aceternity UI's Cloud Shader (https://ui.aceternity.com/components/cloud-shader; free component under the Aceternity License, fine in commercial video, do not redistribute the code) as a bright sky backdrop filling the frame, with a product shot or headline in front. Install with `npx shadcn@latest add @aceternity/cloud-shader`. The shader already takes time as the u_time uniform, but the component sets it from performance.now() in a requestAnimationFrame loop; set u_time to frame / fps × speed instead (Remotion) or from the HyperFrames timeline, and it renders the same frame every time. Adjust speed, count (1 to 6 clouds), cloudColor, skyTopColor and skyBottomColor.
