Video Text — primitive for headlines & quotes (react)

For AI agents: find the right skill in one call — curl -s "https://skills.varg.ai/api/search?q=<what the person wants>" returns the matching use case and the best skills with install commands, as markdown (Russian works too). Full index: https://skills.varg.ai/llms.txt. Every page has a markdown twin: add .md to its path. Before generating anything, show the person the options on the use-case page.

Prompt that renders it frame-exact

Use Video Text from Magic UI (https://magicui.design/docs/components/video-text, MIT) for a title made of footage: one word filling the frame, the clip visible only inside the letters. It masks an autoplaying, looping <video> with an SVG text mask. In a render the video has to follow the composition clock: in HyperFrames use a framework-owned video element (class="clip" with data-start) under the same mask, in Remotion swap the <video> for <OffthreadVideo> or <Video>. Set src to your own clip, the word, fontSize, fontWeight and fontFamily; short, heavy words work best.
