Prompt that renders it frame-exact
Use Typing Animation from Magic UI (https://magicui.design/docs/components/typing-animation, MIT) for a typed headline, a search bar or a chat prompt. It types and deletes with setTimeout and blinks the cursor with a CSS keyframe, so it drifts in a render. Make it a pure function of time: chars = floor((t - start) * 1000 / typeSpeed) while typing, count back with deleteSpeed after pauseDelay, step through words, and show the cursor when floor(t * 2) is even. Take t from frame / fps in Remotion or from the paused timeline in HyperFrames. Set words (or children), typeSpeed, deleteSpeed, pauseDelay, loop, cursorStyle and the font.
