## Prompt that renders it frame-exact

Build a night-sky backdrop from Aceternity UI's Shooting Stars and Stars Background (https://ui.aceternity.com/components/shooting-stars-and-stars-background; free components, Aceternity License, fine in commercial video, do not redistribute the source): StarsBackground fills the frame and ShootingStars sits on top. Install ShootingStars with `npx shadcn@latest add @aceternity/shooting-stars`; StarsBackground is on the same page. Both run on requestAnimationFrame and timers with random positions and delays, so seed the randomness and compute twinkle and streak positions from frame / fps (Remotion) or from the HyperFrames timeline time. Set starDensity, allStarsTwinkle, twinkleProbability, minSpeed/maxSpeed, minDelay/maxDelay, starColor and trailColor.
