Nero Video (until October 15, 2011 Nero Vision ) is video editing software from Nero AG that supports both simple editing (Express mode) and advanced video editing (advanced mode) with multi-track timeline and key framing. Nero Video also has extensive functions for integrating photos and music into video projects, as well as a whole range of transition, video, audio and title effects. There are also templates for semi-automatic film creation and picture-in-picture templates. After video editing, the finished film can be output as a file or posted on the web . Alternatively, the program burns DVDs and Blu-ray Discs , whose menu and chapters can be individually designed in individual steps. The video disc creation can be called up as a separate module directly from the start screen. In this way, pure disc projects can be implemented quickly. Simple trimming and arranging tools are also available in this authoring module.

development

The program shows a strong technical development in the different versions:

Nero Vision 4

In the first version, "Nero Vision 4", videos could already be edited in a narrow template: One video channel, one effects channel, one text channel and two audio channels were invariably available for each film. Photos cannot yet be integrated into videos. The menu editing can only be controlled in an automatic template.

Nero Vision 5

HD videos were now also possible. There were more templates in the menu interfaces, but by and large no major innovations.

Nero 9

In the third version of the software, menu editing has been manualized. Additional submenus could now also be created. In addition, photos could now be inserted into videos.

Nero Vision Xtra

With this much more extensive version, multi-track editing became possible; The software has also been optimized visually. Here many effects were added to those of the previous versions as well as optional keyframes (point markings) on the timeline, for example to vary the image size or effects over time. Nothing essential was changed in the menu editing. Burning Blu-ray discs has now become possible.

Nero Video 11

In the first version with a new name, the most important innovation was the express mode, which enables simple but already complete editing of videos in a simplified timeline. In addition, there were express effects as a series of predefined effect templates that can be applied to clips using drag & drop. The start screen has been completely redesigned and the import of AVCHD media has been simplified. Old effects were split into individual functions and sound effects were added.

Nero Video 12

There were also some new effects (slow motion / -lapse, image stabilization, retro design ).

Nero Video 2014

This version added Nero Tilt Shift effects and Nero RhythmSnap. The start screen was given a drag & drop function for quickly starting video or disc projects. It also introduced 4K video and slideshow editing and output.

Nero Video 2015

The fonts and font styles have been improved. We also added new, animated text effect templates, other text effects and the option of creating your own text effect templates.

Nero Video 2016

In addition to improvements in fonts, text and video effects, other new video templates have been integrated. This version also offers full 4K support (Ultra HD).

Nero Video 2017

The cross-platform playback options have been improved. Subtitles can now be displayed during playback via streaming.

Product versions

Nero Video is part of Nero 2017 Classic , Nero 2016 Platinum and Nero Video 2017. With the exception of the Nero 2017 Classic version, in which the effects palette and templates have been slimmed down, the versions of Nero Video in the other products are identical. All products also contain Nero MediaHome.

Nero Media Home allows you to manage and play pictures, videos and music files. In addition to ripping audio CDs and creating playlists and slideshows, there are important organizing functions such as assigning tags, face recognition in images and reading out and manually setting location information ( geotagging ) for photos and videos. Also, the streaming for TVs and home media players is possible. From version 2015, you can stream to mobile devices ( iOS , Android , Amazon ) with the Nero MediaHome Receiver app .
