How to make anamorphic videos with AI

Create nowExplore video library

Render anamorphic looks on demand in your browser with Morphic's anamorphic AI video generator. Generate anamorphic video scenes like a 2.39:1 desert highway with horizontal blue lens flare, oval bokeh blooming around a single tail-light, or a corridor squeeze hold reading like Cooke S4 glass, and pair them with the Music tool to score across the wide frame. Cut the sequences into a full anamorphic short on the Canvas.

anamorphic scenes you can direct

2.39:1 desert highway with blue horizontal flare

Wide 2.39:1 desert highway at golden hour, single oncoming car bleeding a horizontal blue streak flare across the frame, oval bokeh on the brake-light, ochre haze and side-rake light. Cooke S4 warm cream tonality.

Edit prompt
2.39:1 desert highway with blue horizontal flare

Oval bokeh around a single tail-light

Tight 2.39:1 night-street shot at f1.4 anamorphic, single red tail-light at the edge of frame rendering as an oval bokeh disc, neon signage softened into oval shapes in the background, slow rack focus.

Edit prompt
Oval bokeh around a single tail-light

Cooke S4 corridor squeeze hold

2.39:1 corridor hold from chest height, Cooke S4 warm cream skin tones, gentle barrel distortion at the edges of the frame, single practical sconce on the back wall, slow tracking dolly forward.

Edit prompt
Cooke S4 corridor squeeze hold

Hawk V-Lite shop window with sodium-vapour flare

2.39:1 night street at 2am, single sodium-vapour street lamp throwing a horizontal blue flare across an empty shop window, Hawk V-Lite cool tonality, rain on the asphalt, slow tracking pan.

Edit prompt
Hawk V-Lite shop window with sodium-vapour flare

Make anamorphic videos in three steps

  1. 01

    Describe your anamorphic scene

    Write the anamorphic scene you want to see in your own words. Be specific about the frame (2.39:1 wide), the lens character (oval bokeh, horizontal blue streak flare, 2x squeeze, gentle barrel distortion at the edges), the glass cue (Cooke S4 warm cream, Hawk V-Lite cool, Atlas Orion punchy, Master Anamorphic clean), and the practical light source. Naming the anamorphic vocabulary in language is what separates the prompt from a generic widescreen shot.

  2. 02

    Generate the video

    Morphic generates a cinematic, frame-ready clip on your canvas in seconds — no editing software required.

  3. 03

    Refine your anamorphic video

    Tweak the prompt, regenerate variations, then download or share the moment the shot lands.

FAQs

Where can I make anamorphic videos with AI?
You can create anamorphic-style scenes directly in your browser on Morphic. Open the Text to Video tool, name the 2.39:1 frame, the lens character (oval bokeh, horizontal blue flare, 2x squeeze), and the glass cue, and Morphic produces the clip. No installs and no specialist software needed.
What is the anamorphic look in AI video?
Anamorphic is a lensing language with four signature traits: a wide 2.39:1 frame, oval (not round) bokeh in defocused highlights, horizontal blue streak flare across bright sources, and a gentle barrel distortion at the edges of the frame. In AI video you do not have a physical lens, so you specify the traits in the prompt and the model composes for the look. Naming all four anchors anamorphic instead of generic widescreen.
How do I prompt for the horizontal blue flare in an anamorphic video?
Specify the source, the colour, and the streak length. For example: "single oncoming headlight bleeding a horizontal blue streak flare across the full width of the 2.39:1 frame, lens distortion gentle at the edges." Naming the streak as horizontal (not radial) and as blue (not white) is what cues the anamorphic flare instead of a generic lens flare.
How do I get oval bokeh in an anamorphic video?
Specify the bokeh shape directly. For example: "single red tail-light rendering as an oval bokeh disc, neon signage softened into oval shapes in the background, anamorphic lens character." Calling the bokeh "oval" or "elliptical" rather than "round" is the cue. Reinforce with a wide aperture descriptor (f1.4 anamorphic, shallow focus) so the bokeh dominates the defocused area.
Which anamorphic lens reference should I use in my prompts?
Three references cover most stylistic intent. Cooke S4/i for warm cream tonality and friendly skin tones (Sicario, A Star is Born). Hawk V-Lite for cooler character and a more clinical contrast (No Country for Old Men). Atlas Orion for punchier modern character (Decision to Leave). Arri Master Anamorphic for cleaner large-format work (Tenet, Oppenheimer). Name one in the prompt to anchor the tonal register.
Can I render at the full 2.39:1 anamorphic frame on Morphic?
Yes. Specify "2.39:1" in the prompt and Morphic composes the shot for the wide cinematic frame. You can also set the aspect ratio explicitly when generating, and pair the shot with the Music tool to score across the full wide frame.
