Prompt that renders it frame-exact
Add a typewriter headline with Animate UI's Typing Text (https://animate-ui.com/docs/primitives/animate-ui/typing-text, MIT + Commons Clause): npm install @animate-ui/react motion, then <TypingText text={["Design", "Build", "Ship"]} loop><TypingTextCursor /></TypingText>. It types one character every duration ms (100 by default) on timers, holds for holdDelay, erases at the same pace and moves on. For a video, derive the visible substring from the frame instead: chars = floor((frame / fps × 1000 − delay) / duration), with the hold and erase phases laid out the same way, and blink the cursor on a 1 s period from frame / fps. Keep it large, left-aligned or centred in the lower third.
