Prompt that renders it frame-exact
Roll a short brand word or headline with Motion Primitives' Text Roll (https://motion-primitives.com/docs/text-roll, MIT), set large in the center of the frame. Install with npx motion-primitives@latest add text-roll. Each letter has an exit and an enter copy that rotate on X with Motion, staggered by getEnterDelay and getExitDelay, so in Remotion compute each copy's rotateX and opacity from frame / fps minus its delay, and in HyperFrames build the same staggered flips on the paused timeline. Set duration, getEnterDelay, getExitDelay, transition and custom variants for the rotation.
