VS10 is missing overlay manager

[dan.k]

After purchasing VS10 today I was surprised NOT to see the overlay manager and capability for 6 overlays as the printed manual suggests. After downloading SP1 and most recent update, I still have no overlay manager

Which version to you have, VS10 or VS10Plus? The 6 overlay tracks are only available with the Plus version.

Purchased from CompUSA. Only 10 available they did not suggest a "plus" version. Aside from that, the enclosed printed user guide is titled VideoStudio 10, not 10+, even though it contains a section on multiple overlay. A litte misleading, considering the only reason I purchased the product is for a side by side video comparison of several versions of an automated process.

The boxed product on sale at CompUSA is the basic VS10, not the "plus" version. I saw it there the other day since it caught my eye at its selling price of $59.99, which is about $40 cheaper than the plus version. I doubt that the sales staff at CompUSA is even aware that there's more than one version, as they just sell what their HQ sends them.

I tried without success to find the menu for adding multiple tracks before reading the forum. I indeed have VS10, not 10+. However I noticed the sample project that is on the VS10 menu in Windows programme bar, features all 6 tracks, which suggests the functionality / underlying code is there, simply the icon has been removed.

I therefore deleted the content of the sample project and saved the file as a clean 6 track project.

I haven't tried to burn a dvd yet, however it appears to work.

Hope this helps VS10 users.
