How DO you use Displace? One clip displacing another?

[gpvillamil]

Here's my challenge, I want to use a clip of rippling water to displace a text effect.

I've tried putting the text on one layer with the water on another, and using Displace as a blend mode. Didn't seem to work: the water just displaced itself. I'm not at all sure what the Displace effect does.

What I *really* want is to apply one clip as a displacement to another.

How do I do this?

In case it is not clear, here's a video screen grab from Max/MSP doing exactly that. You can do it in After Effects too, very easily. I wish it were possible in Resolume, can't be too hard?

and a still of the patch in use:

You can not currently do this in Resolume. I imagine it would be possible to create a mixer for such a purpose, the only effect type in Resolume that can take two video sources as input; the current Displace mixer seems to be a different effect to what you have in mind. However, it is much easier to create such an effect in a node-based environment, as you showed in Max/MSP.
