How to Organize and Find Photos with IPTC Metadata in Nero MediaHome?

Sometimes you add location, captions, or copyright info directly on your camera, but after importing your photos into the application, that information isn’t visible or usable. With the new IPTC support in Nero MediaHome, all your metadata—including place details—can now be easily viewed, searched, and exported. This makes it simple to organize your library and make the most of the information you’ve already added.

Guide

First, add the folder as a watch folder in Nero MediaHome.

1: View and Edit IPTC Metadata

  • Select a photo in your Library.
  • If IPTC metadata is available, basic fields will be listed in the right Info panel, e.g., location, title, copyright, creator.
  • Tip: Location information appears under the Places
  • In Place tab, IPTC place info will be grouped together with any existing Places if available.
  • You can also edit IPTC metadata directly in Nero MediaHome and save your changes.

2: Search Photos by IPTC Tags

  • Open the Find
  • Select IPTC Place Tag (or other IPTC fields) to filter your photos.

How to Import and Export Playlists and Collections in Nero MediaHome?

Have you spent time creating playlists in one application only to find they can’t be used elsewhere? Or carefully organized photo and video collections in Nero MediaHome but were restricted to exporting only to external devices? The latest update addresses both: music playlists in popular formats—especially the universal m3u8 format—can now be imported and exported across apps. At the same time, photo and video collections can be exported directly to any local folder, providing greater flexibility for sharing, backup, and cross-device use.

Guide

1: Import Music Playlists

  • Go to the Music → Select All Music → right-click (context menu) → Import Music Playlist → select your playlist file.
    • Supported formats: m3u, m3u8, PLS, WPL
  • Imported playlists appear in your library, ready for playback, editing, or integration.

⚠️ Note: When importing playlists (e.g., m3u8), Nero MediaHome will only import files that are accessible:

  • If some files in the playlist cannot be accessed (e.g., stored in cloud services or unavailable drives), those entries will be automatically removed after import.

  • If none of the files are accessible, the entire playlist will not be imported.

2: Export Music Playlists

  • Go to Music → select an organized music playlist → right-click → Save Playlist to File → choose the destination folder or device.
    • Supported formats: m3u, m3u8

Tip: Supported playlist formats make your music lists usable across different applications.

3: Export Photo and Video Collections to Local Folders or Devices

  • Open your photo/video library → select a collection (by Faces, Places, or album).
  • Click More → Copy to → browse to choose any local folder or select an external device.

Tip: Folder and album structure is preserved, keeping your collections organized.

What is Nero AI video upscaling and how to turn on/off it?

Even people who are not so interested in watching movies may agree that watching videos in high resolution (such as Full HD, 4K) is a wonderful experience. With 4K monitors and TVs becoming more and more popular, are you still satisfied with watching blurry SD videos on 4K monitors or TVs?

What is traditional video upscaling?
Traditional upscaling or resize is the easiest way to stretch a lower resolution video onto a larger displayer. The pixels in the lower resolution image are simply repeated and averaged to fill all the pixels of the higher resolution display. The result is that the video fits a 4K monitor, but it usually looks blurry.

What is Nero AI video upscaling?
Nero AI video upscaling predicts high-resolution videos through an AI model and produces incredible clarity and enhanced details that cannot be reproduced by traditional upscaling, such as sharper edges, more realistic hair, and the landscapes with striking clarity.

What You’ll Need

  • Nero Platinum or Nero Platinum 2022 installed.🛒 Click and Get Nero Platinum Suite
  • Nero Platinum supports Nero AI video upscaling up from V24.x and higher.
  • Please attach your monitor to the higher performance graphic card, if your PC has dual graphic cards.
  • Windows 10 or higher 64-bit operating system is recommended.

Enjoy a better performance with enabled hardware-accelerated AI enhancement

We recommend using at least a Nvidia GTX 970 or AMD Radeon R9 390 graphics cards for hardware accelerated video AI upscaling of SD source files. If you would like to do video AI upscaling of HD source files, we recommended using at least a Nvidia GTX 1070 or AMD Radeon RX 5600 graphics cards.

 

How to turn on/off Nero AI video upscaling?
In Nero Platinum V24.x and higher versions, you can enjoy the improvement of video quality from Nero AI video upscaling during video playback, converting and exporting.

Video Playback – Nero MediaHome
When you are playing video clips, no matter playing from Nero MediaHome Library or in Nero MediaHome Viewer, you will find a “Video Enhancer” icon in the lower right corner. From there you can turn Nero AI video upscaling on or off.

The real-time video playback of “Nero AI video upscaling” depends on the performance of your graphic card.
We recommend enabling hardware acceleration under Video Playback in Nero MediaHome > Options > Video.

Export – Nero Video
In Nero Video V24.x or later versions, you will find the option to enable or disable Nero AI upscaling in the export settings under “Configure”. Nero Video will apply Nero AI upscaling to your movie project when the target size is larger than your movie resolution settings.

Nero AI video upscaling_configure

Nero AI video upscaling_export
There are two levels for the output quality: standard quality and high quality. With the “high quality” level, you will get a better output file, but it needs more time.

Convert – Nero Recode
In Nero Recode V24.x or higher versions, you will find the “Nero AI upscaling” and its AI hardware acceleration options in Output settings.
Recode_Nero AI upscaling_configure
Recode_Nero AI video upscaling_export
There are no special hardware requirements for the conversion in Nero Recode and the export in Nero Video. The general performance depends on the system performance. But the hardware limitation will not affect the output quality. We recommend running Nero AI upscaling on Windows 10 or higher 64-bit operating systems.

How to enable “HDR compatible mode” to watch videos in Nero MediaHome?

Everyone is talking about 4K or 8K, but HDR is actually a greater improvement in visual quality. HDR means more detailed images, better color, and highlights that really pop.

Nero Platinum supports now the playback of HDR videos in Nero MediaHome. Nero’s HDR technology allows you to enjoy near-HDR image quality even on non-HDR displays!

Learn here how to ensure that your HDR videos and movie can be played.

What You’ll Need

Every link in the chain – from your Windows system to the graphic card, to the source video file – has to be HDR-capable. That means you need:

  • Windows 10 64bit system, with Nero Platinum or Nero Platinum 2021 installed

Nero Platinum supports HDR playback for 23.x and higher versions. You can get the latest version from:

🛒 Click and Get Nero Platinum Suite

  • A HDR-capable Graphic card or chip

That means Nvidia GTX 1060 or better, AMD RX470 or better, or Intel HD 620 or later.  Note that these are the bare minimums, and higher-end cards will be able to have better performance.

  • HDR-capable source video file

Not all videos can be played with HDR effect – you can hardly ask a SD quality video to achieve high-definition HDR playback. Basically, HDR playback is only possible for H.265 10bit AVC video or movie files.

If your video file and your system support HDR playback, you will see the ‘HDR’ icon on the Nero MediaHome tool bar:

QuickViewer HDR_ON

HDR_ON

Clicking ‘HDR’ icon will turn on/off the HDR playback.

HDR_OFF

Enjoy a better performance with HDR hardware playback

With a Nvidia GTX 1060 or better, AMD RX470 or better, or Intel HD 620 or later.  Please activate the ‘Enable hardware acceleration’ option in ‘Nero MediaHome > Options > Video’. The hardware acceleration will be applied after you re-start the playback.
