App icons circling an empty centre on two thin rings, the inner ring turning one way and the outer the other

## Prompt that renders it frame-exact

Use Orbiting Circles from Magic UI (https://magicui.design/docs/components/orbiting-circles, MIT) around a logo or product in the centre of the frame, with tool or partner icons on the rings. Each icon rides a CSS keyframe that turns it around the centre at --radius over --duration. HyperFrames' CSS adapter can seek it with a finite iteration count; in Remotion compute the angle per icon, angle = startAngle + 360 * (frame / fps) / duration (negated for reverse), and place it with rotate(angle) translateX(radius) rotate(-angle). Set radius, duration, iconSize, reverse and path (the thin ring), and keep 4–6 icons per ring so they stay readable.
