## Prompt that renders it frame-exact

Use Plasma from React Bits (https://reactbits.dev/backgrounds/plasma, MIT + Commons Clause: fine in video). Install with `npx shadcn@latest add @react-bits/Plasma-JS-CSS` and run it full-frame behind headlines. Tinted with one brand colour, it becomes a subtle moving texture. Set color, speed, direction ('forward', 'reverse' or 'pingpong'), scale, twist and grain. Patch the requestAnimationFrame clock to frame / fps * speed, and set mouseInteractive={false} and intro={false}.
