How can I adjust the music level to speech on a different track?

The case you are reporting is a very typical scenario for interviews, when you want to edit and mix two tracks of audio: one with speech, the other one with music. Check the steps below for how do this in Nero Video.

Go to advanced editing mode. In the example below you have two tracks in parallel: one audio track with speech linked to the video in track 1, one with music in the music track.

Switch to extended timeline view to see the wave forms of your clips
Select the track you want to edit
Go to effect palette and check the properties window for your clip
Click on the triangle left of ‘Audio Level’ to see the dB level
Use the dB slider for lowering or increasing the volume per track (you can also type in e.g. -6 dB, if you want to decrease the volume by half.

Tip: You can also set keyframes (when selecting ‘Use keyframes’) allowing you to do sequences of different loudness settings over time. This is very convenient when you want to match music to interviews, etc.

Can I use self-created DVD Menu Templates created with Nero 9 or Nero 10 in Nero 2019?

Yes, this is possible with some workaround. By default, Nero Video cannot support customized menus created with Nero Vision in Nero 9. Please follow the steps mentioned below. This should work identically for self-created menu templates from Nero Vision Xtra (Nero 10).

Copy your customized Disc Menu from Nero 9 located in folder “C:\Users\<User>\Documents\NeroVision\Templates\CE” to “C:\Users\<User>\Documents\NeroVideo\Templates\CE” which is used for Nero Video 2019

1. Navigate to each disc menu folder, and find a file with extension “*.tpl”. (below example shows folder “This PC\Documents\NeroVideo\Templates\ CE \ 1\ TemplateCreatedbyNero9\SD.4.3”)

2. The *tpl file is an xml file where you need to add a global unique identifier (GUID) so that you can open it in Nero Video. Please access this website https://www.guidgenerator.com/online-guid-generator.aspx, follow the two steps in the screenshot below, and copy one of the GUIDs (each line below represents a GUID).

3. Right click on the *tpl file of the menu that you have moved into “… NeroVideo\Templates\CE” before and select to edit it with Windows text “Editor”.
4. Click on an empty space after the entry “<metadata>” (4th element in the line).
5. Insert a new string “<GUID>{******}</GUID>”
6. Paste your GUID into the brackets {******}. This will read like e.g.:
7. Save the file and restart Nero Video
8. Open the template in Nero Video menu selection page under “My menu templates”
9. Do this for each menu you want to handover from Nero Vision to Nero Video

I want to create a 16:9 DVD but my Movie shows black Bars at the Top and Bottom. What can I do?

You are probably making use of a CinemaScope movie format in 21:9 or similar, but the regular DVD widescreen format is 16:9.

In order to be able to create a DVD and watch this format without black bars at the top and bottom, you need to scale this to your 16:9 format via Nero Video editing, first. Just be aware that you will cut off some image information at the left and right rim of the image.

Open an editing project via ‘Make Express Movie’. Check your project format under the top menu ‘Options > Movie Options’, and select ‘TV Widescreen’.

Import your movie and add it to the timeline. Put the mouse over the timeline thumbnail and a hover selection will open. Click on ‘fx’ to open the Express Effect window. In there, select the drop down menu under ‘Scale’ and select ‘Scale and Fit’.

Now your video will match the aspect ratio of your 16:9 widescreen project (just be aware that you will have cut off some image information at the left and right rim of the image).

To create a DVD click ‘Next > DVD > DVD-Video’

Tip: If you happen to import 4:3 images or videos into a 16:9 project, Nero Video will automatically remove the black bars with auto content generated from your video or image.

How can I split tracks included in one big file of a digitized vinyl record and export it to individual music files directly?

Digitizing a vinyl record means analog to digital conversion. With Nero WaveEditor you have an easy to use free tool allowing you to do A/D recording of your vinyl record, plus automatic track splits, as well as single file export in one go.

This FAQ deals with splitting tracks and exporting individual music files of already digitized files.

Track split and exporting to individual tracks in Nero WaveEditor

If you already have recorded a digital track that has all the different music tracks included in one piece, it is easy to open your audio file in Nero WaveEditor, and split and export individual tracks afterwards.

Open Nero WaveEditor and your recorded track via the top menu. Your track will be displayed in Nero WaveEditor timeline with a waveform. In there, you can already visually identify where the individual tracks start and end. With the + and – buttons you can zoom in and out.

There are two ways to add track splits

1. Automatically

Go to the menu bar and select edit > ‘Pause Detection’. Set the dB value to minimum (-30 dB), leave the rest of the settings as are. Try out some different settings, if your results are not optimal.

Just use the ‘Insert track split’ function in the edit menu in combination with the cursor position on the waveform. Each split will create a new track.

F_NWE_4 For checking each split, zoom in to see the detailed waveform view. If you are not satisfied with the position, just touch the set track split with the cursor and move it slightly left or right. You can also use this function after you have added track splits automatically.

Export your tracks as individual files

In the edit menu go to the bottom entry ‘Save tracks as Files’.
