Wax Transitions (12 presets) for sharing

For those using Wax 2.0c in Vegas,
I have created twelve transitions presets and put them on-line for sharing.
The following link will open a web page I set up, with a demo and a download link to the zip file.
If you like any of the transitions shown in the demo, download the zip and extract the preset(s) you would like to use in your Vegas projects.

Wax Transitions

If you haven't heard about Wax yet, I have put a brief description of the application on that web page and a link to the author's homepage.

It's all Greek to me, the page will not display anything withour loading Greek and I'm having trouble getting that to install.

Absolutely wonderful. I particularly like the 'Flip Two Panes'. Very original.

Well done and thanks for sharing.

All we need now is a transition that will transpose Grazie from a bleedin' ravin' lunatic to a calmer, less excitable chappy :~)

Hi Marquat,

You should use the same process you use for native Vegas transitions meaning using two adjacent events in the same track.
Click on "Automatic crossfades" button on Vegas toolbar
On the timeline overlap two events for the duration you want the transition to last
The automatically created crossfade on the overlapped area of the two events is indicative of the time the transition will last
Click on the trasitions tab and select the Wax transitions
Select the preset you want in the Wax transitions window and drop it on the crossfade that was created by overlapping the two events.
That's it…

Bob you shouldn't have any problem with the characters language. I used iso-8859-1, which is the default characters encoding for Latin characters.
Can you give me more details to see if I can find what's wrong.

Hmm .. IE6 does not work for me unless I right click on the blank page and 'Translate into English'. Then the page displays, but the flash demo page does not. Could be some subtle IE setting.

Update: In my case I had to select 'View', 'Encoding', 'Auto-Select'. Then it all displayed fine.

Works fine with Mozilla Firefox.

I have edited my original message and put the address without redirection to see if that helps

Oops brain damage didn't think of that!
Yes the process you described in using Wax standalone is correct.
I also had few stability problems with Wax sometime ago but are now resolved by:
Checking the "Use Dummy Host Media in Wax plugin for Sony Vegas" in Wax preferences and leaving every other option unchecked and Ram at zero
Unloading or temporary disabling memory resident monitoring programs (Ad-Watch, Spybot, Norton Auto Protect etc).
The above in my case solved stability problems with Wax.

I tried the new link after resetting the IE options to what did not work before. Does not work. Setting back to what I posted in my update, works with the new link too.

it looks like the server of my ISP sends an http header of iso-8859-7 (Greek) that takes priority over the meta http for iso-8859-1 (Western) tag that I have defined in the <head> of my html page.
Pauncz solved the problem by selecting the "Auto Encoding" in the browser's view menu.
I believe that by selecting "Auto" or "Western (iso 8859-1)" for the encoding from the browser's view menu will solve the characters encoding problem.

Thanks to everyone who posted and thanks to Satish for giving us the opportunity to do many more things through his cool applications.
