- What is Wax?
Wax is a video compositing and special effects tool. You can use Wax
for putting together multiple clips, adding audio, even multiple
tracks, and re-rendering a clip to another format or codec.
Wax is free. It is great as a standalone tool, even as a plugin to some
other popular and professional video editing solutions, and also as a
companion to such tools as VirtualDub and Project Dogwaffle.
If you ever need to quickly add a soundtrack to a 3D rendered
animation, you should give Wax a try. You'll love it.
More info about Wax:
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.

the latest version of Wax be sure to visit the Wax section at
