Overlays with VideoStudio 9

Is it possible to have more than one overlay to display at the same time in VS9? Since there is only one overlay track, I haven't found a way to do this. I want to bring in one overlay photo, and then bring in another overlay a few seconds after the first one, and possibly even a third, having them all to be on-screen at the same time.

Hi
Place your first image in the overlay track, set the duration for say 20 seconds.
Render (share create video file)
Place the new file in the video track, add the second image to the overlay track starting at say 6 seconds, to the end.(14 seconds)
Render the video again.

Repeat with other images, as many as you like.

You just need to do a bit of maths to calculate the timings.

Render the video with the overlay and then bring it back on to the timeline and add another overlay and so on.
