Use the Glyph Background from Animate UI (https://animate-ui.com/docs/backgrounds/glyph, MIT + Commons Clause) as a techy full-frame backdrop for a product or AI announcement. Install with npx shadcn@latest add @animate-ui/backgrounds-glyph, wrap it in a dark container (#121212) with text-white and place it under the headline. It is a WebGL shader whose draw function takes a time value but is called from requestAnimationFrame: copy the component, remove the loop and call draw(frame / fps * 1000) yourself (Remotion: from useCurrentFrame(); HyperFrames: on the hf-seek event). Set interactive={false}, pick glowColor for the drifting light and fontSize for the grid density.
