Prompt that renders it frame-exact
Use Glitch text from Animata (https://animata.design/docs/text/glitch-text, MIT) for an error screen, a tech title or a hard-cut word, centred on a solid or starfield background. It stacks the label three times and jitters the two coloured ghosts with CSS keyframes on an endless cycle (--glitch-duration, 2.5 s by default). HyperFrames' CSS adapter can seek the keyframes once you give them a finite iteration count for the clip; in Remotion pause the ghost animations and set animation-delay to -(frame / fps)s so every frame shows the right offset. Props: intensity, step, duration, baseColor, colorA and colorB (brand accents), and blendMode normal on very dark backgrounds.
