Hi.
Does anyone know how to do a good steam effect on Gimp, like when a glass bottle that is empty is left on a stove andn begins to heat up. Thanks.

Come on guys.. 
Sorry, I don't have gimp. 
Then don't post in the thread. Kind of obvious.
I would try Detonation Films.
I would use particles, either from AE, Blender, or some other package.
If you don't have something like that, stock footage might work, but it could be tough.

Do they have steam effects?
Dude, go to detonationfilms.com and look if they have a steam effect.
It isn't that hard to think about that before you ask.
EDIT: and no, people, i'm not harsh against him, i'm just telling him he can do homework too.

It is nice to see that you are helping others to become independent (no, i'm not being sacrcastic) but when I went to detonationfilms.com al I can find are smoke effects. I'm just want to know if anyone has seen any steam effects there and if so, where?
If you could find a good smoke effect and speed it up and and add a verticle blur of sorts. It could work. I haven't tried but it might work.
How do I do a verticale blur?
what Kind of editor do you have. I use premeire pro.
Gimp.
In premeire pro I can add a " directional blur" and I can chnage the angle to 90 degrees. I havent used gimp but if you just blur it some how and speed it up it might work. I'll try some tests.
[Edit]
heres a test I tried I couldn't figure out how to get a big cloud of steam but I was able to get some good wisps of steam
