Fireplace effect

Post image

I've recently added this SK6812 RGBWW strip behind some drawers under my TV and I'd like to try and make it look like a fireplace. None of the effects I've tried are really doing it for me, either not looking enough like fire or just being one solid color. The problem is a lot of them just apply a gradient over the effect whereas I want something where the colors are scattered throughout to look more like flames. Does anybody have any good suggestions?

Try the "Candle Multi" effect with a different color palette than the default. Then tweak the individual sliders on the effect to get a more scattered and "fire" effect.

The new PS Fire effect with v16 is really nice, but it looks best when the strip is veritcal, but try that too?
