create a new composition and use this globe:
[React Bits Pro Globe Code - get at https://pro.reactbits.dev/docs/components/globe]
just rotate the globe for 10 seconds, no arcs.
overlay it with "The world is yours" in bold big Inter font

⏺ No type errors. Here's what I created:
src/GlobeComposition.tsx - A new composition that:
- Loads globe.gl from CDN and the land map image, using
delayRender/continueRender to wait until ready
- Renders a 3D globe with land dots (no arcs, labels, or rings)
- Rotates the globe at 36°/second (one full revolution in 10 seconds) driven
by useCurrentFrame() via pointOfView() with 0ms transition — fully
frame-accurate
- Overlays "The world is yours" centered in bold Inter (120px, white, with
subtle text shadow)
src/Root.tsx - Updated to register the new Globe composition (1920x1080,
30fps, 10 seconds = 300 frames)
You can select the "Globe" composition in the Remotion Studio to preview it.

❯ different, but the frame is still not centered. I think right now it only
takes effect after the first useEffect
⏺ Right — the rotation useEffect runs before the async init completes, so
globeInstanceRef.current is still null when it tries to set the position on
frame 0. I need to restructure so continueRender only fires after the position
is actually set.
⏺ Read 1 file (ctrl+o to expand)
⏺ The problem: the init useEffect is async, so by the time the globe is created,
the rotation useEffect has already run (and globeInstanceRef.current was
null). I need to use a state flag to trigger the rotation effect after init
completes.
