Animating Fire.
I searched this time and found nothing.
I have a still image of the word HOT done in Photoshop…simple filters to make it look like its on fire. I just want to animate it a little to make it look like the fire is moving just slightly. any suggestions. I am using AE 6.0

warp, pinch, or any distortion effects as a seperate layer from text if you don’t want to buy good fire filters. keyframe them and them go buy a fire plugin for $$$$$

Did you save this image with an alpha channel (transparency)?
If so, you might find the Puppet Tool useful. Other than that, I’d try the various distort/warp effects.

As much as this topic gets brought up over and over again… I’m surprised none of the CC leaders have picked up on it and done a tutorial.

You are welcome to do it, Dave.
The Creative COW leaders are all pretty busy and can’t have done every topic.
Best regards,

Thanks Ron! 🙂
My point being that in the years I have seen this posted repeatedly, you’d think it would have *already* been covered.
That said… based on recommendations in this forum, I purchased the Trapcode Form product and I am experimenting with it. I am NO WHERE NEAR as creative or talented as the Cow staff, but if I do make anything workable, I’ll post a response.
In the meantime, if it hasn’t already been done, let me make a formal request for something fire related from the AE Cow people. Other than an explosion or just overlaying some existing fire footage.
