WAX plug in update (for vegas, ulead (soon) and standalone)

[BJ_M]

its free btw -- new version out now with a lot of added features:

Wax is a high performance and flexible video compositing and special effects software. The idea for Wax is to be very general purpose and flexible in video compositing and effects, so that you can compose your dream video sequence with ease everytime.

Wax 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 which would be more useful for professional editors. Currently Wax can as a plug-in with Sony Vegas® and work for integrating with various other NLEs is in progress.

Awesome!!!...just got it. Finally, a particle generator for Vegas...BTW, what does this mean:

Note for Vegas users

With Vegas 4 and above the plugin needs to use scripting so please download and install the .NET framework if you havent yet.

eh...where do I get THAT?

[Red96TA]

ok...I picked up and installed the .NET compact framework...but that sure didn't make the plug-ins work in VV4

[BJ_M]

it works fine -- using it right now ..

if you have a problem , you can ask him about it on his support forum ...

The compact framework is for PDAs. You need the normal .NET framework. You should be able to get it from the Windows Update Site.
