## Prompt that renders it frame-exact

Use Vertical Cut Reveal from Fancy Components (https://www.fancycomponents.dev/docs/components/text/vertical-cut-reveal, MIT). Install with `npx shadcn add @fancy/vertical-cut-reveal` after adding the @fancy registry to components.json. Use it for the opening headline or a quote card, set large and left-aligned. Set splitBy ('characters', 'words' or 'lines'), staggerDuration, staggerFrom ('first', 'last', 'center' or 'random') and a spring transition. Motion animates each piece from y: 100% to 0 on mount. For a frame-exact render, compute every piece's translateY from (frame - startFrame - index * stagger * fps) with Remotion's spring/interpolate, or a paused GSAP timeline seeked by HyperFrames, and set autoStart={false}.
