Steps

1
As we can see, Photoshop is already open, and a video has been imported
.
The preview is in the center, the Timeline is at the bottom, and the Layers are on the right-hand side. If you need to find out how to import a video, check out my other video. Once we have everything ready, make sure the video clip has been converted to a Smart Object. This basically flattens the clip so it's treated as one big frame, rather than a lot of little frames.

4
Hover the mouse cursor over "Render", and select "Clouds"
.
It automatically applies clouds over the video. It doesn't allow us to toggle anything. Depending on what we are working with, it may have quite a nice effect. Sometimes it may not be what we are after since it is quite opaque. We can play around with the opacity as well.

5
We can hide it, by clicking the eye on the right-hand side, under "Smart Filters" or "Clouds"
.
We could just step backward as we normally would.
