I'm getting "unrecognized option -displace" when trying to use "-displace" inside clone:

convert over.png dscp_01.png \
\( art.jpg -thumbnail 600x600 -alpha on \) \
\( -clone 1 -clone 2 -displace 0x40 \) \
\( -clone 3 -clone 0 -gravity center -compose over -composite \) \
-delete 1,2,3 -compose over -composite outPro.jpg

Full Error: convert: unrecognized option `-displace' @ convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/1213.

Am I missing anything here?

-displace was originally only used with composite and not convert. see

You can use it now in convert but the syntax is different. See near the bottom
