Please see this discussion:
https://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/52392.page

A number of older FX features, including the timestamp have been dropped in the latest PD version(s). There is a work around made available by Optodata, which works fine as a work around, but is obviously not the way the users and Cyberlink (really?) want to go forward. Given that Cyberlink claims NOT to read any of what i in this forum (whereas we think they should) but rather use the Rate us & provide suggestions (behind the File Menu in PD), we suggest that you all use this 'provide suggestions' to make it clear that we DO use a number of these good old FX features.

I got a similar response. I don't think I've ever gotten a message back from anything I submitted via Rate Us & Provide Suggestions before, but clearly people do actually review that feedback.

Probably nothing to do with any of these posts or your support inquiry. If you look at the PDM release notes, it specifically states "improved versions of the following style effects: Magnifier, Edge, Time Stamp, Pencil Sketch." which were four of the ones removed. They obviously had something in the works and the notes also indicate a plan to release more in next release, so why didn't support inform you of that rather than a benign escalated to product team reply?

Very likely, yes. Still have to find out what has been improved.
