Body: <p>I am trying to replicate <a href="http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/datamoshing" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Datamoshing</a> with After Effects. I'm close but I need to link the displacement map to motion vectors rather than just colors and brightness values. I know AE recognizes motion vectors as it uses them for motion blur. If there is a way to extract and move P/B-frames and apply them to other I frames that would be perfect but I haven't found that yet.</p>
  
  <p>I figure if i could translate motion vectors into shades of black and white i could apply the displacement map to that layer using luminosity. Is there any way to do that? Perhaps extracting motion blur as a separate layer with an alpha channel?</p>
