## Prompt that renders it frame-exact

Use Circling Elements from Fancy Components (https://www.fancycomponents.dev/docs/components/blocks/circling-elements, MIT). Install with `npx shadcn add @fancy/circling-elements` after adding the @fancy registry to components.json, plus the circling keyframes from its docs page. Orbit product shots, avatars, logos or app icons around a central title or logo. Set radius (scale it to the frame, e.g. 35% of the short side), duration, easing and direction. The orbit is a CSS keyframe animation, so pause it and set the animation time from frame / fps, or compute each item's angle as 360 * ((frame / fps) / duration) + index * 360 / count and position it directly.
