CM Image Behaviors->Distort Ripple Across

These effects allow you to apply behavior style effects to still images.   These are particularly useful when you are given text for titles or a pack shot as an image file instead of being given the font and typing the text out.   In this case you cannot use standard text behaviors in motion but you can use these effects instead.

Distort Ripple Across runs a distortion wave effect across the layer in time to a certain BPM (beats per minute) speed.
