Use Liquid Chrome from React Bits (https://reactbits.dev/backgrounds/liquid-chrome, MIT + Commons Clause: OK in videos, don't resell the component). Install with npx shadcn@latest add @react-bits/LiquidChrome-JS-CSS and run it full-frame under a bold logo or product name. It reads best in monochrome or with one tinted color. Tune color, speed 0.15–0.3, amplitude, frequencyX/frequencyY and roughness. The component starts its clock at a random value, advances it on requestAnimationFrame and sways the camera with it. Fix the start value, compute time = start + frame / fps * speed, and set interactive={false} and intro={false}.
