Direct that old-tube glow in your browser with Morphic's CRT scanline effect AI video generator. Generate clips like a face lit by a curved glowing screen ribbed with horizontal scanlines, or a retro title card blooming in soft phosphor with a rolling refresh bar, and pair them with the Music tool to sync a synth pulse to the flicker. Stitch the scanlined, phosphor-lit shots into one continuous sequence on the Canvas.

Face in the tube glow

Close shot of a face lit only by a curved CRT screen, scanlines rippling across their skin and phosphor bloom washing the eyes, dark room, static frame so the flicker and glow carry the mood.

Edit prompt

Retro title card

Locked shot of a glowing title blooming in soft phosphor on a dark curved screen, a refresh bar rolling up the frame and fine scanlines throughout, deep black surround, no camera move so the tube reads clean.

Edit prompt

Arcade backroom

Medium shot of a figure hunched before a bank of old monitors whose curved glass and RGB phosphor grids glow in the dark, warm flicker on their face, slow push-in past the humming screens.

Edit prompt

Late-night broadcast

Wide of a dim living room where a tube set flickers with signal noise and a rolling bar, its blue-white glow the only light, gentle drift toward the screen as the picture jitters and rolls.

FAQs

Where can I make CRT scanline videos with AI?
You can create CRT scanline videos directly in your browser on Morphic. Open the Text to Video tool, describe the tube traits, the phosphor glow, and how worn the set feels, and Morphic generates the clip with the retro look baked in. No shader packs and no filter plugins needed.
What kinds of CRT scanline shots work best with AI video?
Shots built around a glowing screen read best: a face lit by a tube, a retro title card, an arcade backroom, or a late-night broadcast. The strongest CRT looks combine scanlines with curved glass and phosphor bloom so the screen feels alive rather than just filtered.
How do I write a good prompt for a CRT scanline video?
Name the tube cues, the glow, and the wear. A prompt like "curved glass, fine scanlines, phosphor bloom, rolling refresh bar" gives Morphic more than "old TV look." Adding whether the set is crisp or half-tuned with flicker and static sharpens the period feel.
How do I keep the effect consistent between scenes?
Keep the scanline spacing, glow, and curvature described the same way across shots, and note the wear level each time. On the Canvas you can line up CRT clips side by side and refine each until the tube character matches into one continuous retro look.
Can I add music and narration to my CRT scanline videos?
Yes. The Music tool produces an original soundtrack, and a retro screen pairs naturally with a synth pulse timed to the flicker. The Speech tool generates narration in the voice you choose, layered onto the clip so a title card or broadcast sequence can carry a voiceover.
Do I need video editing experience to make a CRT scanline video?
No. Morphic runs in your browser and you direct it with plain-language prompts. If you can describe the scanlines, the glow, and the wear, you can produce the clip. The prompts on this page are written so anyone can paste and run.
