You will most likely need to use canvas or WebGL to achieve an effect like that, especially smearing. And GSAP is an animation engine, so it doesn't do effects in that sense. In can certainly animate values used in an effect like that, but it would definitely be a minor role as most of the code will be canvas/WebGL related.
