Besides, When importing media files, Wax media files automatically separate audio and video into two different elements; does not affect the original file. **What do you dislike about Wax?** When using Wax for the first time, there are some things that Wax (Wax video editor) can only import and export .avi files. This will sometimes cause inconvenience to users **Recommendations to others considering Wax:** When inserting a video into the track editing system, there may be a black area on the sides or top and bottom of the viewport. To remove these, the project dropdown must be open, "Settings" selected and the project height and width adjusted. There should be a guide for everyone to understand better **What problems is Wax solving and how is that benefiting you?** When importing a media file, the Wax media file automatically separates the audio and video into two different elements; does not affect the original file. I realized that to better help stay organized in projects, right-click on the folder icon below (media container) and select add folder, name the folder and video files can be dragged and dropped into the folder. ### 2.
