The frame is flung into hypnotic concentric bands along a parametric curve, then settles on the next

## Prompt that renders it frame-exact

Add the "CrazyParametricFun" transition from GL Transitions (by mandubian, MIT; https://gl-transitions.com/editor/CrazyParametricFun, GLSL source https://github.com/gl-transitions/gl-transitions/blob/master/transitions/CrazyParametricFun.glsl) on the drop of a music edit: 1.2 s, ease-in-out. It is loud: use it once per video. Remotion: `npm install gl-transitions @gl-transitions/remotion @remotion/transitions`, then a `<TransitionSeries.Transition>` with `presentation={glTransition({ name: "CrazyParametricFun", params: { a: 4, b: 1, amplitude: 120, smoothness: 0.1 } })}` and `timing={linearTiming({ durationInFrames: 36, easing: Easing.inOut(Easing.cubic) })}` (36 frames at 30 fps). HyperFrames: draw the GLSL on a full-frame WebGL canvas over the cut, with the outgoing and incoming frames as the from/to textures, and compute progress from the composition time, clamp((t − cutStart) / 1.2, 0, 1) through the easing; never from requestAnimationFrame or a timer, so every frame renders the same. ffmpeg's xfade can't run GLSL. `a` (4) and `b` (1) shape the curve, `amplitude` (120) its reach and `smoothness` (0.1) the blend.
