Create 2D and 3D special effects with Wax
Wax is a free video composition and special effects program. It can create 2D & 3D special effects and can work in two modes – as a standalone application which would appeal for home users/beginners, and as a “plug-in” to video editors/NLEs. Currently Wax can work as a plug-in with Sony Vegas, Pure Motion EditStudio and Adobe Premiere.
Wax can create and use ‘presets’, a chain of plugins with customized parameters to create unique effects. The basic installation of Wax comes with hundreds of presets created by Vassias Loverdos; you can also create your own using Wax.
