Opium

Opium applies a dark, dreamy visual treatment to video — heavy ghost trails, crushed blacks, boosted contrast, wide-lens barrel distortion, film grain, and a dark haze vignette. The aesthetic references Playboi Carti's Opium label visuals: blown-out highlights, smeared motion, and an otherworldly atmosphere.

Tips

Low trail length (2-4) for subtle afterimages. High (8-12) for full ghost smear.
Works best on footage with movement — walking, dancing, slow head turns.
Combine with Night Vision for a dark, paranoid surveillance aesthetic.
Use keyframes to fade the effect in/out for transitions.
