Use Codrops' Rapid Image Layers Animation (demo https://tympanus.net/Development/RapidLayersAnimation/, article https://tympanus.net/codrops/?p=48939, code https://github.com/codrops/RapidLayersAnimation, MIT) as a splash intro or a hard transition: a series of full-frame images slides in rapid succession, each layer covering the last, ending on the hero image. The logic is in src/js/revealer.js, a GSAP timeline that the demo creates paused and plays on a menu click; keep it paused and seek it with the video (HyperFrames: window.__timelines; Remotion: tl.seek(frame / fps)). Load 5–8 of my stills into the .layers__item elements, set duration and the per-layer offset to the beat of the music.
