'''Debugmode Wax''', known usually as just '''Wax''' is a video compositor by Satish Kumar for Windows, and ~~''the'' oldschool~~ tool for 3D [[tennis]] effects.<ref>https://www.debugmode.com/wax.html</ref> ~~It was prominent from the late 2000's to the early 2010's, known~~ for its distinct look and unique set of capabilities~~.

'''Debugmode Wax''', known usually as just '''Wax''' is a video compositor by Satish Kumar for Windows, and was a commonly used tool for 3D [[tennis]] effects from the late 2000's to the early 2010's.<ref>https://www.debugmode.com/wax.html</ref> Known for its distinct look and unique set of capabilities, it was eventually replaced in the meta by more capable editors like [[After Effects]] and [[Blender]] or by 3D plugin sets like in [[BCC]]. The earliest known usage of the plugin is in [[YTP_Tennis#The_first_matches|the fifth match ever played]], GameCubeHero vs. BMATF(2007), in which it was prominently used by the former player.

Wax was notable because of its ability to be used as both a ''plugin'' and a ''standalone editor''. If installed as a plugin, you could load it into any 32-Bit video editor (like old version of [[Vegas]]) and use it directly inside.

=Usage=

~~Wax is~~ primitive, ~~but has most~~ of the features of ~~any~~ other ~~NLE~~. Footage can be added into the "MediaPool", then dragged onto the timeline wherever you wish. ~~Plugins~~ and ~~Transitions add pizzazz~~ to ~~your works~~.

While more primitive compared to modern editors, Wax shares many of the same basic features of other non-linear editors. Footage can be added into the "MediaPool", then dragged onto the timeline wherever you wish. From here, plugins and transitions can be added to footage as needed.

==Rendering==

Wax can fail to render if the extension on the output file is missing.
