Step 1: Load Your Picture
Load it into DP Animation Maker if you want to create a video file or Screensaver/Wallpaper Maker for creating desktop animations.
Step 2: Add Animation
Click the Add Animation button and select the Wave brush in the 3rd column. Then click OK to add wave animation into the scene.
Step 3: Create an Effect
Now you need to create an effect mask to apply wave animation to the flame. To do this just paint over the flame using the brush with standard parameters (Size:100, Hardness:0, Opacity:100). Here is an example of the mask you need to draw (You may need to turn on the “highlight effect area” option to see the result clearly.)

Step 4: Set Parameters
Go to the wave properties tab and set the following parameters.

Type: Longitudinal wave; Amplitude: 62, Speed: 48, Wave length: 250, Direction: 90


Step 5: Add Second Wave Brush
Add the second Wave brush animation by repeating steps 2 and 3.
Step 6: Second Wave Parameters
The second animated layer should have the following parameters (The last parameter is most important)

Type: Transverse wave; Amplitude: 21, Speed: 80, Wave length: 350, Direction: 253, Apply animation to: whole scene

Step 7: Paint the Flame
Finally, you can make the animation even better by painting the candle and its flame with the Blinking light brush with the following parameters

Type: Chaotic, Strength: 12, Speed: 35, Apply animation to: whole scene (!)
