Rows of tiles scroll sideways at different speeds and directions under a title.

## What it does

Built on [Simple Marquee](https://github.com/danielpetho/fancy/blob/main/src/fancy/components/blocks/simple-marquee.tsx) by fancy, MIT. The write-up and recipes below are varg's.

Three rows of rounded tiles (templates, outputs) moving left, right, left at 1×, 0.7×, 1.2×; edges fade.

**When:** Background for a title or end card that needs life without stealing focus.

**Watch out:** Do not run rows at the same speed; offset speeds create depth.

**Timing:** Row loops 20–40 s; in a 4 s shot rows move 10–20% of their width.

**Also called:** marquee wall, scrolling rows, tile rows

### In HyperFrames

```bash
npx hyperframes add perspective-marquee
```
Or three flat rows with `tl.to(row,{xPercent: dir*-50, duration: 30/speed, ease:"none"},0)`.

### In Remotion

```tsx
const x = (r:number) => (r%2? 1:-1) * ((frame * speeds[r]) % rowW);
```

### In CapCut

Three long tile strips as overlays; keyframe Position X in alternating directions; mask the edges with gradient.
