I could not find any references to building collages from scratch too. It looks like we have to work within the 2 to 7 shapes range that are available, and change them to our needs. Something with the next version wish list?!
I wonder what kind of collage you want to create?

I want to have a three-frames over-three-frames template that has straight veticals (the three-over-three version available now has slanted verticals). I also want a template that has six side-by-side frames.

It seems on CyberLink DirectorZone in the "video collage" section, threre a few template shapes that not simply modified versions of the ones available in in the Collage Designer plugin. So I was wondering how those were created.

Thank you.

Indeed. And it is clever software too. I have looked at the underlying files. Building software to create and generate these files is not trivial and there is the possibility that its changes in the next version. Maybe good to ask CyberLink to please make the software available or better, build in creation of collage templates from scratch. After all, apparently they have done the trick already:

Thank you! I'll definitely check that out.
