VS10+ Installation Help

BullittMustang · Post by **BullittMustang** » Sun Dec 17, 2006 2:01 am

Hi, I just purchased the vs 10+ software. I got the bonus template packages too. There were 5 downloads for me to download. One of the downloads was a zipped file that was 240mb. I unzipped it after I installed the first 2 downloads and it was unzipped to some temp folder. Do I need to find it and do anything with it or is it automaticaly put in VS after I use the VS program? Or should I unzip it into the VS program manually? It was bonus features, download 240mb, I'm not sure what it includes but it seems like I have everything when I open the software. Thanks for any help!

Being in a Temp file, you are going to lose it sooner rather than later I' afraid. Copy it to a dedicated folder within My Documents. That way, you will not lose it in case you have to reinstall VS10.

Hi Bullitmustang, welcome to the forums,

The extra content is not required to run VS10+. It should have 9 folders:

3D Video (15 avi files)
Introduction Video (9 avi files)
Sample Video (9 avi files)
Background Image (approx 72 *.bmp images)
Music (10 *.mp3 files)
Sound (25 *.wav files)
Frame (15 *.png files)
Object(42 *.png files)
Theater Background (20 *.jpg files)

There is no installer for those above files/folders. You can copy them to wherever you would like onto your system.

WinDVD 7 is also included in the bonus content, however an installer is provided.

Cool 3D is also in the bonus features and is excellent for making impressive, animated 3D titles for your videos. It loads as a separate program, and I would certainly recommend that you try it out.

Thanks for your replys! OK, I unzipped it again to a folder that I made within the "my documents" folder. I am now able to find them. The first time was in an administers documents temp folder that was hidden I think. Now that I have them where I can find them how do I acess the content when I am using the VS software? Like the introduction videos or the "The End" screen in the sample videos. Thanks for any help, I am really new at this!

What I do is in VS create a special Library called VS10 Xtra Content. I do one for the Video, Images, and Objects. Then in each one of those I load the Extra Content, by clicking on the Folder icon, navigating to the drive where I have the Bonus content and selecting them.

If you choose at sometime you don't want the extra content while working with VS, then just delete the library.

Thanks, That sound good. I wonder why they didn't have that extra stuff come with an installer so it could be integrated as part of the program?
Thanks for the help!
