## Prompt that renders it frame-exact

Show connections between cities with Aceternity UI's World Map (https://ui.aceternity.com/components/world-map; free component, Aceternity License, fine in commercial video, do not redistribute the code), spanning the frame width below a title. Install with `npx shadcn@latest add @aceternity/world-map`. Arcs draw in with Motion pathLength tweens on mount and the city dots pulse with SVG animate, so in Remotion set each arc's pathLength from frame / fps with a per-arc delay and scale the pulse rings from the same clock; in HyperFrames tween pathLength on the paused timeline. Pass dots as [{ start: { lat, lng }, end: { lat, lng } }], set lineColor, and use the dark map variant for a black frame.
