i am trying to schedule 4 cameras with 4 different schedules. ideally:
Kitchen - record motion between 7am - 4:30 pm
Living Room - record motion between 8 am - 6:30 pm
Rec Room - record motion between 4 am - 11:59 pm
Porch - record motion all the time
When i try to add these modes to the schedule, i can't overlap the times. it overwrites any previous mode that might have overlapp times with the most recent mode i enter.

You'll have to create five different modes and schedule them accordingly, each of which is corresponding to a time slice in which a different combination of your cameras are active.
So, within each mode you create one rule for each camera that is to be active during that mode according to the below list or graphic.
Call them (or whatever else you feel like) and set their activation times in the Schedule as follows:
- All (8 am to 4.30 pm)
- Kitchen - Rec Room - Porch (7 am to 8 am)
- Rec Room - Porch (4 am to 7 am, 6 pm to 11.59 pm)
- Living Room - Rec Room - Porch (4.30 pm to 6 pm)
- Porch Only (12 am to 4 am)
Here is an image to illustrate your schedule (you may have to wait for the moderators to authorize the image before you can see it):

very nice graphics...!
Rules to remember
1) you can run only ONE mode at a time
2) any camera NOT in a rule will be off

I have looked at this for days and cannot figure out how in the world you came up with those times for the original post to cover all 4 of her cameras. I have tried writing it out and cannot figure it out. Can you help me? Here is what I would like:
Front door - record all the time
Back door - 6:45am to 5:00 pm
Driveway - 7:00am to 5:00pm
Garage - 7:15am to 4:00 pm
Thank you,
Chris
