    you need to shoot the video in a specific way to make it ‘pre-matted’ like the video copilot stuff …

    so for smoke/fire you set it up in a studio with black behind.

    for ink, you might want to use a white background then shoot black or coloured ink dropping into a vase or tank…

    splatters/grunge could just be paint/dirt thrown onto a canvas …

    …or you can re-create many of the smokey/ink like patterns using fractal noise combined with other effects …

    tv noise you could fake with AE’s noise and distort effects or just capture some TV noise straight in from the TV…
