Add Motion Primitives' Text Shimmer Wave (https://motion-primitives.com/docs/text-shimmer-wave, MIT) to a short status word or label, centered or inside a UI mockup. Install with npx motion-primitives@latest add text-shimmer-wave. Each letter runs its own infinite Motion keyframe loop (z, x, y, scale, rotateY and color) with a stagger, so in Remotion compute each letter's phase from frame / fps plus its index offset and set those transforms directly; in HyperFrames put staggered repeating tweens on the paused timeline. Tune duration, spread, zDistance, xDistance, yDistance, scaleDistance and rotateYDistance, and color it via the CSS variables.
