Prompt that renders it frame-exact

Use the ShaderGradient "Viola" preset (preset 05 on https://shadergradient.co/customize, MIT; exported as presets.violaOrientalis from @shadergradient/react, source github.com/ruucm/shadergradient/blob/main/packages/shadergradient/src/presets.ts) as a vivid full-frame background for a product reveal or a punchy hook. Install @shadergradient/react with @react-three/fiber and three, then render <ShaderGradientCanvas style={{position:'absolute',inset:0}} lazyLoad={false} pixelDensity={1}> with <ShaderGradient {...presets.violaOrientalis.props} /> inside. To make it frame-exact, override animate="off" and pass uTime={seconds} (the shader multiplies it by uSpeed 0.1), set enableTransition={false} so the camera starts in place, and let R3F draw once before each frame is captured. The frame is mostly amber (color2) with the blue (color3) showing only in the hollow, so put the brand color in color2 and keep color3 dark for contrast. Raise uSpeed toward 0.2 if the slow default barely moves over a short clip, and change cameraZoom to reframe the sphere.
