Displacement map
Requires textures with movement

Has to be displaced against something (another layer) (modification of fx on top left)
The clip of the texture can be modified to have more contrast (adjust the levels of the texture clip) to cost more changes within the layer being displaced.
Compound Blur
> Same settings as Displacement map
> Change the horizontal / vertical displacement over time
Solids
> Modifications with effects (Curtains) to get it as a texture,

Check BB for hw.
