[Good First Issue] Add animation to the export button (pulse) when ready to export

[magic-peach]

Overview

Add a subtle pulse animation to the Export button when a file is loaded and settings are ready, to guide the user's attention.

Task

In VideoEditor.tsx, add animate-pulse (or a custom animation) to the export button when file is set and status === 'idle'.

Note

Ensure the animation is paused when prefers-reduced-motion is enabled.

Acceptance Criteria

• Subtle pulse animation when ready to export
• Animation stops during and after export
• Respects prefers-reduced-motion

Estimated effort: 20 minutes

Hi @magic-peach

I went through the issue description and would like to work on this issue under GSSoC 2026.

I’ll implement a subtle pulse animation for the Export button when it is ready for export, ensure the animation stops appropriately during and after export, and make sure the implementation respects prefers-reduced-motion for accessibility.

I’ll keep the solution clean and consistent with the existing UI behavior.

Please consider assigning this issue to me.

Thank you!
