## Prompt that renders it frame-exact

Put Aceternity UI's Wavy Background (https://ui.aceternity.com/components/wavy-background; free component, Aceternity License, fine in commercial video, do not redistribute the code) full-frame behind my headline. Install with `npx shadcn@latest add @aceternity/wavy-background`. The waves are drawn on a canvas from simplex noise, and the noise time advances inside a requestAnimationFrame loop, so replace that counter with a value computed from frame / fps (Remotion) or from the HyperFrames timeline time and redraw once per frame. Set colors (array of hex), waveWidth, blur, waveOpacity, backgroundFill and speed ("slow" or "fast").
