How does National Geo do this?
I have seen this effect in several places but National Geographic does such an amazing job. How do they do the smoke or wind effect? Is this a plugin? Anyone know?!

It looks like they use stock footage, the trick is to also use it a displacement map to distort the text in sync with the smoke, plus a combination of stylise and colour effects to give it that glow.
Andrew Kramer has a tutorial over on video copilot explaining a similar effect using particular, but you could just use any stock footage of smoke with an alpha channel the principles are the same.

Also, most any text-to-sand tutorial will have some good tips.

seem to remember Aaron Rabinowitz doing a tutorial on regianttv.com that looked a heck of a lot like that!
