I'd love to know what effect that is for the fluent motion, thanks

It's been done with very short transitions, so it makes it hard to tell.  My guess would be Morph Cut in Premiere Pro.

Step through that video one frame at a time, and you will see simple straight cuts and one or two frame overlaps with about 50% transparency on the top layer. Most footage looks distorted just before the cuts or during the transitions. Mesh Warp could easily accomplish simpler distortions, and Turbulent Displace could do others. The shots are two, three, or four frames long. It's just a lot of handwork and keyframes on still images with varying overlaps and quick transparency changes.

Looks like Re:Vision Re:Flex.

A free trial version is available.  There are some tutorial videos to watch to get up to speed on hotter to use it.

that seems to be it but its so dang hard to use!

If you're new to After Effects, it could be very challenging to learn how Re:Flex uses Mask paths to guide the morph.  If you have a good working knowledge of Layers, Effects, and Masks (I'd say intermediate level), you can be a Re:Flex morphing master in about two hours of training videos.
