Wax/Winmorph Install Problem

NaperRick wrote on 5/8/2004, 8:43 PM
Please try not to laugh too hard. I'm new at this...
I download Wax2.0 and WinMorph and had what I thought was a successful install.
The problem is when I bring up Vegas 5 and try to apply and effect or transition I don't find the Wax and Winmorph plugins listed among all the other plugins.
During the install Wax asked for the place where Sonic Foundry Video Vegas was installed. I pointed it to C:\Program Files\Sony\Vegas 5.0.
I have wmmorph.dll and wmwarp.dll and WaxVegasPlugin.dll in
C:\Program Files\Sony\Vegas 5.0\Video Plugins.
Did I put them in the wrong place, since they don't appear in the plugin lists when in Vegas?
I'm sure I did something wrong but not sure what...
Wax and Winmorph seem to work OK in standalone mode.

I could be wrong but I dont know if those programs have been updated to work with V5 yet. Im sure someone who does know will chime in on this shortly.

Yes, Wax also works fine with Vegas 5. But I don't know what went wrong there - the DLLs are in the right place I think.

I installed Winmorph 3.01 to my Sony directory for the plugin. However, I installed Wax2.0b to all of the default directories, i.e. I left the Sonic Foundry install directory alone. Everything works fine this way and I know this because I just used it last night. :) You have to use Winmorph as a plugin from within Wax in VV5 though.

Could be a dll registration issue.. Drag and drop the wmmorph.dll, wmwarp.dll and Waxvegasplugin.dll files onto the vegas main window and vegas will ask if you want to auto-register the plugins - choose yes and they should get registered. Then close and reopen vegas to see the plugins.

Thanks Satish, I gave that a try and got the message about auto registering after I dragged and dropped the dll's from the sub-directory they were in but when I clicked "OK" I received the following message:

"The Direct-x plugin C:\program files\sony\vegas 5.0\video plugins\WaxVegasPlufin.dll failed to register 80040154h"

I received a similar message for each of the three dll's.

Should I try to uninstall WAX and WinMorph and reinstall. Which directory should I be selecting when asked where to put plugins, the "\video plugins" directory under \Vegas 5.0 or the \Vegas 5.0 directory or somewhere else?

Well that is the problem, the plugins are not getting registered. Please send me an email (webmaster of debugmode dot com) and we can figure out what's going wrong and fix it. Thanks

Thanks Satish,
When I get home from work this evening I will unistall and try a reinstall - if that doesn't work I will send you an email.
Thanks again,
Rick

Satish was able the fix my problem. I have never seen a developer that was so dedicated in helping the users of his software. We IM'd and he remotely connected to my PC to resolve the problem - talk about service over and above the call :) The problem was related to a module that wouldn't register properly.
Satish, you da man...

I second that. And appreciate Satish' work very much!!! Incredible in most positive sense how fast and which way he manages it to let his software grow.
