Prompt that renders it frame-exact
Use Morphing Text from Magic UI (https://magicui.design/docs/components/morphing-text, MIT) for a title that morphs between two to four words, centred in the frame. It cross-fades two text layers with blur and runs them through an SVG threshold filter for the liquid look, timed by requestAnimationFrame and Date (1.5 s morph, 0.5 s hold). For a render, compute the morph fraction from time: cycle = morphTime + cooldownTime, slot = floor(t / cycle), fraction = clamp((t % cycle) / morphTime), then apply the same blur and opacity formula to both layers; t is frame / fps in Remotion or the timeline time in HyperFrames. Keep the SVG filter, set texts, weight and size, and check that the edges survive video compression.
