Or try the silly way i did it. Make your title and color the face of your text blue-screen blue or green-screen green. Build a big fire in your BBQ grill and tape it. Put the fire on a lower level than the text so it will show thru. Voila' Burning text ala "ZULU"

nDanger has it right there. There's no substitute for real fire. Besides... just throw a couple of hot-dogs on the BBQ while it's rendering and reward yourself for a great comp. job!

I saw this in the Total Training Tapes...
Use a zig-zag cutout of red/yellow/orange (like pointy mountians).
Use the wave warp on it a little. Then on a black solid, apply
the foam effect. Make the bubbles big and slow. Then blur the
heck out of it. Pre-comp this with the cutout. Then put it over top
your text. There is alot of fine tuning involved, but it works.

That sounds like a lot of work man. Just fire up the old BBQ and get some natural textures and mask them or whatever. There is no substitute-
Good Luck
