I have upgraded to studio 12 ultimate from studio 9. Studio 9 bonus dvd is incompatible with studio 12 and one is advised to download studio 11 bonus dvd instead, which I did. My problem is that studio 12 is installed on the D: partition (due to insufficient space on the C: partition). The studio 11 setup appears to look for a main partition installation and there is no option to preselect another partition. Any suggestions for a workaround? I do not have studio 11 and would not wish to reformat my drives.

I may be wrong here, but what I think the S11 Bonus DVD is looking for is an instalation of S11, not 12.

To install the disc using Studio 12, I think you might need to run the transfer wizard before running the bonus DVD.

This might be the issue at hand. Run the Transfer Wizard.

I realize that this is an old thread, but I'm having an issue with the Bonus DVD that I received with S11. I'm currently using S14UC and noticed that the files on the bonus DVD are not available. When I installed S14UC, I ran the transfer content option. Background info:  purchased S11 with the Bonus DVD several years ago, then upgraded to S12, then to S12UC, and then to S14UC. I've been running S14UC since last year. Call me 'not paying attention', but I noticed while working on a project this weekend, that the stuff on the Bonus DVD was not available. So I tried re-installing the Bonus DVD - the file sizes all indicated 0 kb. What have I done wrong?

First of all I will try to delete as many items necessary on c: drive that you don't need anymore or move them to a separate hard drive if possible.

Here is a tutorial video I made on how to install Studio 12, (steps are also the same when installing Studio 14 or Studio 15 but may differ slightly). It  may be helpful in the part where I explain on how to install the bonus dvd and use the transfer wizard. My english is not to good but I hope you can get to understand it.

NOTE: No patches available for Studio 14 or Studio 15 yet...and may never be one.

The bonus dvd content is at approx 9:12 time mark.

Ensure that you have "Show Premium Content & Features" Selected in S14 Setup / Project Preferences. If it isn't, Content Transferred via the Transfer Wizard won't show in Video Effects.

You can't Install S11 Bonus DVD on any Studio Version, other than S11. It has to be installed via S14 Transfer Wizard that "Installs" a "Virtual" S11 Program, enabling the Bonus Content to be  "Installed" & Transferred to S14.

There was an FAQ giving precise instructioins re; how to do that in the correct order.

Thanks for responding. Dumb question (I've been know to ask a lot of them). What exactly is on the Bonus DVD? Maybe I'm not looking in the right places. I will re-install per the procedures that you've provided. Will keep you posted.

Thanks for the responses, R_Vera and colour. I'll follow those installation steps this weekend. Dumb question (I've been known to ask a lot of them). What is actually on the Bonus DVD? Maybe I'm not looking in the right places.

 "What is actually on the Bonus DVD?"

The Bonus DVD are actually some additional special transitions and wipes. This disc came back since Studio 11 and earlier versions. Studio 12 will only accept either Studio 10 or Studio 11 Bonus DVD.

Here is the download for the Bonus DVD for Studio 11. (I am not sure if it may work due to Corel took over and made many changes, but it's worth the try).

Thanks, R_Vera. I watched your video and plan on re-watching it again and take some notes. I've removed Studio 11 from my computer and plan on removing/reinstalling Studio 12UC and 14UC. I was also able to download the Bonus DVD file that you referenced. I'm wondering if the problems that I'm having are related to the fact that my OS is Windows 7. I remember getting a message that basically says the program didn't install correctly: choose "use the recommended settings" or "the program installed correctly". I'll keep you and colour posted. Thanks again to the both of you for your advice. Hopefully I can get the Bonus DVD installed so that I continue with my projects. 

If you get the error message from windows 7, just click on the file has installed successfully... (or something like that).

BTW, I have Studio 11, 12 and 14 installed in my computer (W7) and also on Windows XP.

R_Vera,

Last evening, I uninstalled S11, S12UC, and S14UC - to get a 'fresh' start. Watched your video (which I thought was excellent), but was not able to install S12UC as you showed. The installed did not indicate that there was a previous version of Studio was not installed, so I installed S11 and then installed the Bonus DVD. It appears that that process worked (took around 30 minutes or so for the installation of the Bonus DVD). I opened S11 and did not notice where the transitions, etc that were installed from the Bonus DVD appeared. Can you tell me where I should be looking? My in-experience is showing.

 

Also, I'm going to begin installing S12UC and S14UC over the next couple of days and will let you know how it works out.  JTT

 

What is actually on the Bonus DVD?

There is very little "Bonus" Content. "Bonus" is a misnomer.

The Content is mostly Video Effects that have to be paid for by purchasing Activatioin Keys.

You need to Explore the Content DVD to see exactly what's on the Disk. If you've Installed it, you can view the Video Effects from within Studio.

"I opened S11 and did not notice where the transitions, etc that were installed from the Bonus DVD appeared. Can you tell me where I should be looking?"

The bonus dvd content are just additional transitions installed in Studio 11, 12, 14 and 15. They are just the regular HFX, Wedding HFX, etc. and maybe some heroglyphs and vitascenes.

The instructional video was made by using only Studio 12UC and I did not had any previous of Studio installed in my computer as indicated. Maybe you may have skipped a step somewhere thru the video. When you install the Bonus DVD into Studio 12 without a previous version is a little bit tricky, but if you installed Studio 11 followed by Studio 12, then the transfer wizard will be much easier to do.

Colour and R_Vera, thank both of you for your assistance with this issue. I will follow your advice and get S12UC and S14UC both re-installed on my computer and continue with creating/editing projects. I very much like using the Studio applications that I have and have made some extremely cool memory videos these past several years. I read this Forum everyday and find the questions and responses extremely helpful. Thanks again.  JTT

S11, S12UC, AND S14UC all re-installed and working.
