Speeding text with flames
5) Go to “Layer” -> “Layer Style” -> “Blending Mode” and apply a “Colour Overlay” and an “Outer Glow” like in the images shown below.


6) Select the top Text layer and change the color to your liking. I chose a bright orange color and then merge the layers.
7) Finally, if you like apply a motion blur effect by going to “Filter” -> “Blur” -> “Motion Blur”

And here is my final result

Very simple tutorial with a good result.. Although I think you could add some more effects to make it look more flame-like
Besides that, good work =)

Hi, make sure that your text is white and it will extend. You can change the text color later by applying a color overlay style. I hope that helps.
