Dear Sir,
I purchased BIAB a few months ago.
Windows version 2018.

Opened up the book and it talks about and the new features including "Video Realtracks"

I tried for over 2 hours trying figure out how to use Video Realtracks without any luck.

I then went into your forum and searched and found nothing about where they are in the program.

I finally did a general google search and discovered that they are an additional purchase.

Ok thats fine but on page 20 in the summary of new features in your book it mentions nothing about purchasing. I wasted two hours trying to figure out what the hell is going on and why they dont show up in the style browser.

You guys should mention that up front in the summary of new feature but you do not.

Supposedly you get a free Video Realtrack when purchasing the 2018 version or something like that but I guess I missed out somehow.

Anyway I do like your program but not your write ups and some of the info in your manual.

best regards,
Dennie,
