The Liquify effect creates organic, flowing distortions that make your image appear to be melting or underwater.

How it works

Liquify uses procedural noise to generate natural-looking distortion patterns. The effect creates smooth, flowing movements that can be controlled in speed and complexity. The distortion is based on Perlin noise, which creates organic patterns that avoid the mechanical look of simpler distortion effects.

Use cases

  • Creating underwater or heat distortion effects
  • Simulating melting or flowing liquid visuals

Controllers

NameTypeDescriptionRange
IntensityNumberControls the strength of the distortion0-100
ControlNumberControls the animation speed/position0-100
ZoomNumberAdjusts the scale of the view0-10
ComplexityNumberControls the detail level of the distortion0-10000
Noise scaleNumberAdjusts the scale of the noise pattern0.01+

Tip

The Control parameter works well with audio reactivity using the Cumulative option in Audio Impact automations.
