There was a version before wax that I use mostly which works quite well (includes the adapter which I use a lot for vdub plugins.... the vdub cartooner especially). unfortunately you can't download this anymore.
I have used wax on occasion but try to avoid it because it is quite buggy. When I use the wax transitions for example I always get the first frame of the second clip at the very start of the transition so I have to render it twice.... once to set up the transition and once to remove the extra frame.
If you can stomach the bugs and the various work arounds you must perform to get things right then it's worth it but don't expect that it will work properly...... ever.
Bummer. I went on the Debugmode Wax Help Group and emailed Satish about the Plugin Adapter. I feel like I did something similar to this a few years ago, so we'll see what happens. I thought the Plugin Adapter was a must-have, and I'm hoping to use it in conjunction with Deshaker.
I'm at work right now but if you need the previous version let me know and I can email it to you. It has the plugin adapter, 3d shatter, and a few other diddles.
Thanks, I got it. I'll start rebuilding a new installer while I still wait to hear back from Satish. It looks like it's working fine in Vegas too, with Deshaker!
Yup. I use vdub's cartooner and a few others as well. Although it takes a life time to render through a cartonner effect, it has more options than New Blue's cartooner. There are a few vdub plugs that don't work however so you need to experiment a little.
