Turbulent Displace Effect - Adobe AFTER EFFECTS 7.0 Manual

Original (left) and with variations of Transform applied (center and right)
Adjust the following controls for the Transform effect:
Scales height up or down as a percentage of the current layer height.
Scale Height
Scales width up or down as a percentage of the current layer width.
Scale Width
Specifies skew amount.
Skew
Specifies the axis on which the skew is based. Changing the skew axis has no effect if Skew is 0.
Skew Axis
Use Composition's Shutter Angle
performing motion blur. If this control is not selected, the Transform effect uses the option for the Shutter Angle
control.
Determines the amount of motion blur to apply to the layer if Motion Blur is enabled for the layer.
Shutter Angle
Scales both the width and the height of an image.

Turbulent Displace effect

The Turbulent Displace effect uses fractal noise to create turbulent distortions in an image. This effect is useful for
adding distorted movement to a layer. For example, use it to create flowing water, funhouse mirrors, and waving
flags.
This effect works with 8-bpc and 16-bpc color.

Adjust the following controls for Turbulent Displace:
Specifies the type of turbulence used. Turbulent, Bulge, and Twist warp the image in slightly different
Displacement
directions. Turbulent Smoother, Bulge Smoother, and Twist Smoother each perform the same operation as
Turbulent, Bulge, and Twist, except that they create smoother warps and may take longer to render. Vertical
Displacement warps the image vertically only. Horizontal Displacement warps the image horizontally only. Cross
Displacement warps the image both vertically and horizontally.
Specifies the amount of displacement in the layer. Higher values result in more distortion in the layer.
Amount
Specifies the size or radius of the displaced or distorted areas in the layer. Higher values result in larger areas of
Size
distortion.
Specifies that the Transform effect uses the shutter angle of the composition when
