## Prompt that renders it frame-exact

Use Metallic Paint from React Bits (https://reactbits.dev/animations/metallic-paint, MIT + Commons Clause: fine in a video). Install with `npx shadcn@latest add @react-bits/MetallicPaint-JS-CSS` and use it for a logo sting or end card: pass the brand mark as imageSrc (a high-contrast PNG or SVG works best) or a short word as text, centred on a dark plate. Set color, density, dispersion, distortion, angle, speed and scale. Its u_time is stepped on requestAnimationFrame. Set it to frame / fps * speed, turn mouseTilt to 0, and drive or disable the intro reveal from the timeline.
