Q: Distort video along shape/path

I was wondering if there was a way to make a video distort along a specific path/line in Motion 5. I can't explain it that well, due to my lack of knowledge of terminology, but I have an example here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOtbY02TeLU (Sorry if you can't stand electronic music, it's the only example I can think of). I was wondering if there was a way to distort a sound spectrum (which I already have in a video file) in a similar way to the spectrum in the center of the screen in the video. It's fine if it gets a bit warped. Thank you!

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

    You'd find several tutorials - if you know what you're searching for, indeed

    Music Visualizer, for example...

     

    Motion-mastermind Simon Ubsdall offers one:

    Don't get bounced off, due to sheer length and complexity of that tutorial - Simon is a master of finesse and detail! Strip it down to your needs, the Audio-Behaviour is easy to handle ....

    Coremelt has a free plugin that has lots of this type of effect that would save you a lot of time.

    I installed this, but none of the generators seem to be working. Also, my issue isn't creating the wavelengths (although it would be useful if that plugin had worked), my issue is bending it along a path.

    ahh, now I ge it, you're about that part in your example:

    no, best to my knowledge, M5 doesn't offer a free-bend-filter; there are some distortion filters, e.g. Wave .. but a pic distorted along a bezier??

     

    different story with Replicators:

    The red line gets replicated, and the shape is set to geometry; and in the source well, I put the green bezier....

     

    (btw: electro-swing is fine.. even for an old man like me LOL)
