Lens distortion.

Push or pull an image into a barrel or pincushion lens treatment.

A regular grid moves from barrel to pincushion curvature. Lens Distortion changes the optical mapping around a fixed centre; the original line geometry and typography remain independent.

Try it in your agent.

Use this prompt as a starting point. Review the result, then ask for the details you want to change.

A prompt to start from

Use Strata. Create an eight-second Strata optical study with a wide Sea line grid on Charcoal. Place the neutral white Exposure headline above the grid. Animate actual Lens Distortion from neutral into barrel curvature, then gently through neutral toward pincushion curvature. Preserve readable typography and safe margins. Keep all original grid paths fixed and editable.

A few useful details.
