# double_cup
|
|
:contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

|
## Description
|
|
Applies a syrupy, slowed, woozy audiovisual effect reminiscent of “purple drank” aesthetics.
|
|
The look emphasizes heavy color bleeding, slowed-feeling motion, chromatic haze, and a dreamlike viscosity often associated with chopped-and-screwed culture or psychedelic video distortion.
|
|
|
|
## Purpose
|
|
`double_cup` is ideal for creators who want to:
|
|
- introduce trippy, codeine-inspired visual atmosphere,
|
|
- slow or drag the *feeling* of motion without modifying frame rate,
|
|
- add soft-focus color diffusion with deep purples and magentas,
|
|
- evoke vaporwave, cloud-rap, chopped/screwed, or intoxicated digital moods,
|
|
- distort clarity into a smeared, syrup-soaked texture.
|
|
|
|
## How It Works
|
|
1. **Color Drenching**
|
|
Highlights and midtones are pushed toward purple, pink, and magenta tones.
|
|
2. **Soft Haze / Bloom**
|
|
The image takes on a velvety, low-contrast haze that reduces sharp edges.
|
|
3. **Viscous Motion Sensation**
|
|
Motion may *feel* slower due to subtle temporal diffusion and blending, even if FPS remains constant.
|
|
4. **Contrast Flattening**
|
|
Dark areas may lift while bright areas smear into a syrup-glow.
|
|
5. **Encoding**
|
|
Output is written using global Videobeaux codec and quality settings.

## Program Template
|
|
videobeaux -P double_cup \
|
|
-i input.mp4 \
|
|
-o output.mp4
|
|
|
|
## Arguments
|
|
- *(No additional program-specific arguments; uses global videobeaux options only.)*

|
|
|
## Real World Example
|
|
videobeaux -P double_cup \
|
|
-i myvideo.mp4 \
|
|
-o double_cup_styled.mp4

|
## Technical Notes
|
|
- The effect pairs best with footage containing midtone gradients or neon lighting.
|
|
- Compression interacts strongly with this aesthetic — higher CRF values intensify smearing and color wash.
|
|
- Strong purples and pinks may clip if global gamma settings are aggressive; consider pre-processing with `gamma_fix`.
|
|
- Works especially well in music video contexts.
|
|
|
|
## Recommended Usage
|
|
- Vaporwave, cloud rap, chopped-and-screwed visuals.
|
|
- Psychedelic edits and dream-sequence overlays.
|
|
- Live VJ loops and projection-mapped environments.
|
|
- Mood-setting transitions between high-energy and slow-motion scenes.
|
|
|
|
## Quality Tips
|
|
- Use a lower CRF (higher quality) to retain smooth haze gradients.
|
|
- Combine with `blur_pix` or `bad_contrast` for more degraded, syrup-soaked textures.
|
|
- For extreme purple saturation, apply `lut_apply` with a magenta-heavy LUT before this effect.
|
|
- If the image feels too dark, pair with `gamma_fix` for lifted midtones before applying `double_cup`.
