the wiggle paths parameter under shape layers + posterize time.

I got it to work!
I used Turbulent Displace and Wiggly effect, then made the comp 8fps and it looks pretty damn close to what it would look like if it was made by hand

Use displacement maps.

Honestly, I would just use like a noise layer and displace it. Any smudginess you encounter can just be 'curved' out..

could you not precompose the original letter.
For example put a single letter in a comp. then drag it into another comp (same size etc), where you apply all the warp distort effect, having 3 different states of the same letter, adding a loopout cycle at the end...
Ah yeh...i see your problem.
Not too sure dude...you might have to make an alphabet of a compositions and have the editor drag them in for each sentence. But that's a ball ache!!
Why not have an entire warp distort effect over the entire canvas?
3 different states that are looped, much like the individual letter warping.That way you could modify the original precomposed text.
- ahh chossy and miko got it first, displacement maps! :D
took me a while to get there!Hombre_Lobo

Thanks guys, I'm not very familiar w displacement maps, but I'll look into it and see what results I can get.
I've seen expressions that work on individual text letters, I was hoping there was a way to do it that way, but have no clue on how to do it :(

look up wriggle, and displacement maps.
