Using Mix texture nodes along with displacement. I am seeing no results, any way to accomplish this?

Nope, sorry. Currently displacement only works with the texture image node. All the procedurals and tools nodes are not supported for displacement.

Hmm, and there is currently no way to use image sequences/videos as textures?

Yes, you can use a image sequence with Octane. Load it in the image editor like any other sequence for the native LW engine and use it in the Octane texture image node. To see the animated effect in real time in the IPR window you should enable the "Mat Upd" option.

Holysmokes! I never thought to material update option for img sequences. Thanks Juan!

you can use rasterized LW procedurals mixed to your hearts content....as long as they are combined before the rasterizer node.
Which means for displacement, ironically you can combine LW procedurals but not octane.
