How can ‘Live Guide’ in ‘Nero KnowHow PLUS’ help me?

From Nero 2019, ‘Live Guide’ is available via ‘Nero KnowHow PLUS’ in all Suite and standalone end user products.

‘Live Guide’ is available for the following applications:

  • Nero MediaHome
  • Nero DuplicateManager Photo
  • Nero Video
  • Nero Recode
  • Nero Express
  • Nero Burning ROM
  • Nero BackItUp

With new ‘Live Guide’, ‘Nero KnowHow PLUS’ integrates a unique and very  comfortable feature for getting context sensitive tips & tricks and help from within Nero applications.

The new mode called ‘Live Guide’ directly links to related FAQs, manuals pages, and tutorials within the main Suite applications in regards to the actual use case, the application mode, or task performed inside of the application.

Let’s see some examples of how this works inside of ‘Nero Video’

Imagine you have just started using one the of the great new ‘Nero LifeThemes Pro’ in ‘Nero Video’ for creating a slideshow or movie with automated intro and outro, effects, captions, and music.

Switch on the ‘Live Guide’ toggle on the header bar of ‘Nero Video’ and ‘Live Guide’ will give you context sensitive FAQs and other information.

Live Guide_1

A context path at the bottom of ‘Live Guide’ shows you where you are in your project: ‘Nero Video >…> Express Editing’. In this case you will see all relevant information for editing in Express Mode.

Live Guide_1_1

Now, when you change to open the MovieTheme template selection window, ‘Live Guide’ will automatically adapt its context to match your new task. Now, the job path at the bottom tells you: ‘Nero Video >  … > Movie Theme Dialogue’.  The context inside of ‘Live Guide’ has changed, accordingly.

Live Guide_2

Then, when you handover your editing project to the disc authoring in ‘Nero Video’ for creating a DVD-Video, ‘Live Guide’ will update the context relevance automatically and provide all materials for the new case as you can see in below screen shot. The context path shown at the bottom for this case is: ‘Nero Video > … > DVD-Video Disc Project > Content Screen’. Again, the context inside of ‘Live Guide’ has changed, accordingly.

Live Guide_3

This way, utilizing Nero Suite becomes even more easy and intuitive. Moreover, you can also send feedback and report issues via the respective button in ‘Live Guide’.

As mentioned, this context sensitive behavior is available in Nero MediaHome, Nero DuplicateManager Photo, Nero Video, Nero Recode, Nero Express, Nero Burning ROM, and Nero BackItUp.  This will give you a very comfortable time using Nero applications and growing with your projects.

What is ‘Nero KnowHow PLUS’?

Many Nero customers already know and utilize the Nero learning center ‘Nero KnowHow’. So far it was only available as a Windows 10 app (PC/mobile), as well as an iOS and Android app.

With Nero 2019, ‘Nero KnowHow’ comes as a new application with additional functionality also reflected in the new name. Now, ‘Nero KnowHow PLUS’ is a fully integrated Suite PC application and is available for all operating systems supported by Nero Suite 2019 and later products (Win 7/8/10).

A new mode called ‘Live Guide’ inside of ‘Nero KnowHow PLUS’ enables users to get context sensitive tips & tricks, including help from within Nero applications. ‘Live Guide’ directly links to related FAQs, manuals pages, and tutorials within the main Suite applications in regards to the actual use case, application mode, or task performed inside of the given application (also see Nero KnowHow 00137).

The new context sensitive window also allows sending feedback, as well as reporting issues (support tickets).
