## Prompt that renders it frame-exact

Use Aurora Text from Magic UI (https://magicui.design/docs/components/aurora-text, MIT) for the highlighted word of a headline. The gradient is clipped to the text and its background position moves on a CSS keyframe whose duration is 10 s divided by speed. HyperFrames' CSS adapter can seek that keyframe once the iteration count is finite; in Remotion compute background-position from frame / fps, or pause the animation and set animation-delay to minus the current time. Set colors (3–4 brand hues), speed, and a heavy weight so the colour reads.
