Prompt that renders it frame-exact
Use Circular Text from Animata (https://animata.design/docs/text/circular-text, MIT) as a rotating badge: a short line such as "NEW DROP • LIMITED •" circling a logo, a price or a play button, placed in a corner or next to the product. Each character is placed around the circle with rotate(angle) translateY(-radius), and motion spins the whole ring 360° every spinDuration seconds on an endless repeat, which runs on wall time. For a render, set the ring's rotation yourself: rotate = 360 * ((frame / fps) / spinDuration % 1) in Remotion, or a linear rotation tween with a finite repeat on HyperFrames' paused timeline. Set text (end it with a separator so the loop closes), spinDuration (8–12 s reads well), radius, font size and colour.
