    Each frame in the `animation.frames` vector can be displayed as a standalone image. This loop iterates through each frame, displaying it in a window with a short delay to simulate the animation.

+> When displaying frames manually using `cv::waitKey`, make sure to use the corresponding duration value to preserve the original animation timing.
