Wax Tutorial - Introduction to the 3D Plugins

** RECOMMEND YOU WATCH IN 480p **

Starting to look at the 3D video plugins available in Wax.

Wax is a freeware video editing application from DebugMode, and can be found here:

If you're new to Wax, I'd recommend taking a quick look at my other Wax tutorials, which cover the basics of actually using Wax:

wax is too hard ffs!!!

[GrannyGoddy]

@Them820 It does have... a wall-like learning curve, I have to admit :-)

[benjir888]

i am wanting to make an actual believable explosion, i dont thinkparticles looks musch like an explosion, so i was wondering if u could do a tutorial for that for wax thatnks

[GrannyGoddy]

@benjir888 If you want to create a real, believabe explosion (I'm assuming something that would look convincing when placed on a live action clip or photo?) then Wax is not what I'd use.

The particle system in Wax is big, chunky, and quite cartoony, alas.

I think to accomplish what it sounds like you're after, you'd need to a program like Blender (or 3D Studio Max) to create the explosion, then use Wax or a similar program to composite the scene.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

@GrannyGoddy thanks thats enough i finished and posted the intro and i am going to post it as a vid response

[GrannyGoddy]

@benjir888 Coolio.  Be my guest :-)

i need to know how to rotate a video. For example in the original video I have smoke coming out from the right side, but in reality i'd like it to come from the left side. How would I do that? (transform 3d- but you said it didn't work??)

@carlettesings Check out one of my earlier Wax tutorials:

The first four Wax vids I've done are all about the basics (the interface, editing, compositing, and exporting)

[carlettesings]

how do you export?????

[GrannyGoddy]

@kennykillsyou1 Coolio. If your mouse is playing up, it might be what's making Wax crash. Of course, Wax might just hate your computer for no good reason...

The only downside with Open Source software and freeware :-)
