FINALLY an Anamorphic Style Edge Blur that WORKS in Davinci Resolve

Davinci Resolve has yet to implement solid progressive edge blur and lens blur to add character to the ends of frames but there is a sneaky solution that I want to share with you. You can find this type of blurring commonly on vintage lenses as well as anamorphics. This is also sometimes referred to as Petzval field curvature which is commonly seen as a problematic element in lenses, but occasionally we can use them for building an aesthetic with purposeful storytelling in filmmaking and color grading. The great thing about using this method is the ability to customize things like the bokeh shape. This technique is specific to Davinci Resolve 19 (and previous versions where the Tilt-Shift-Blur is fully featured). But I hope to see this feature implemented in more clean and intuitive ways.
