and this made in phtoshop is the kind of result i want to achieve in AE with the turbulence effect

What you could do is create an adjustment layer and resize it to the height you need then apply the turbulent displacement effect to it.

i tried and this was what came up...

You ought to have "pinning" set to "pin all"; doesn't seem to work if the amount is set to much higher than 200, though.

A bit of a work around , might do the trick.

put a mask the size of the image but excluding the black on top and bottom of the footage. Then duplicate the layer. on the layer on top invert the mask. Then make an adjustment layer. put that inbetween the other 2 layers of footage. Add the displacement effect to it.

Then scale up the bottom layer of footage a bit. Then set the dispalcement settings to something like Amount: 74 Size: 23 Complexity : 1.7 Make sure pinning is set to all locked.

This may give you sort of what you want. If not then you could just mask out the black bars render out the footage as a quicktime with the animation compression plus and alpha. Import it back into AE. Create a solid layer (black) mask it so it gives you the black bars you deleted. place that over the layer of your footage then add the effect to your footage. You could place the original footage below this layer to fill in any holes that there might be.

Hope that helps
