What is new in ‘Nero Start’ in Nero 2019?

Starting with Nero 2019 generation, ‘Nero Start’ (to some also known as Nero Launcher) comes in a refreshed design and updated workflows. Now, you will get going with your Nero product much more easily and achieve result faster than before.

The new user interface with completely updated design and workflows now includes animated buttons, which make the former next/previous page behavior superfluous. This way, you can directly open the info and video tutorial windows per application, now.

Moreover, it integrates a last used application function and gives prominent access to new Nero KnowHow PLUS. Via a slider, Nero Start allows you to change the UI between a lighter and a darker UI version.

Another highlight is ‘1-Click Video Story‘, that integrates into ‘Nero QuickStart’. Simply drag & drop photos or videos to the drop zone and your files will load automatically with a predesigned movie theme inside of Nero Video. Also see Nero KnowHow 00139.

‘Nero Start’ is available for all Nero Suite and standalone products, and also includes access to new ‘Nero KnowHow PLUS’.

Changes in the Version Installation Behavior

First published with Nero 2019, ‘Nero Start’ becomes independent of the installed Nero Suite generation. It is part of the Nero product installer but installs individually as ’Nero Core’ (including Nero Start, Nero Control Center, Nero KnowHow PLUS, and  Nero Update), after which the Suite applications will be installed.

From Nero 2019, ‘Nero Start’ will reside on the system and integrate with the Nero product version you own. Your product version displays prominently in the header of Nero Start. Even if you uninstall Nero Suite, ‘Nero Start’ with ‘NeroKnowHow PLUS’ and ‘Nero ControlCenter’ will still be available and usable.

Because ‘Nero Start’ will be generation independent, you will no longer see a version number associated to the Nero icon in Windows Start Menu. The icon will not say ‘Nero 2019’, but will just say ‘Nero’, or ‘Nero Start’ respectively. If a desktop shortcut was not added automatically, clicking on this icon in Windows Start Menu, will launch the application and automatically create a desktop shortcut for ’Nero Start’.

What to do if ‘Nero 2019’ was not installed, but only ‘Nero Core’

In some circumstances, it can happen that after the initial installation of Windows prerequisites and ‘Nero Core’, the installer will ask you to reboot. In most cases, the installation for Nero applications will automatically continue after the reboot.

In the rare case that the installation does not continue automatically, please run the installer you received with your Nero ESD purchase or run the Nero program installer on the DVD of your Nero retail product again, to finalize the installation.

Nero Suite 2019 users (Platinum/Standard) have access to the complete App version with all features enabled. The free version available in the App Stores is restricted for consolidation from mobile/cloud to cloud only. Users that want to include their PC and even their Mac into the consolidation can buy this feature via In-App-Purchase.

NEW: ‘Nero KnowHow PLUS’ and ‘Live Guide’

Many Nero customers already know and utilize the Nero learning center ‘Nero KnowHow’. So far, the app was limited to Windows 10 and mobile users (iOS/Android). Starting with Nero 2019 any user can now benefit from the brand new ’Nero KnowHow PLUS‘ under Windows 7, 8, and 10 as a new PC application. A unique and very comfortably integrated feature is the new ‘Live Guide‘ which simply gives context sensitive help for the application in use and for the given use case via FAQ, manual page and video tutorial. This way, utilizing the Nero Suite becomes even more easy and intuitive. Customers can also send direct feedback to Nero within the given context.

NEW in Nero DuplicateManager Photo: Find & Remove ‘Similar Images’

Many users have a whole bunch of similar images sitting on their PC, be it due to photo editing, HDR series shots, resizing, format conversion, and more. It is so easy to get lost in one’s photo archive that has heaped up on the PC over years. This is where the brand new feature ‘find & remove similar images’ in Nero DuplicateManager Photo comes into place. The new function finds similar images and automatically sorts it into categories of similarity types: “Places, Series, Motive, Resized, Format, Other “. This way, users get a fast and comfortable overview of their similar images and can easily decide which ones to delete and which ones to keep. Getting their duplicate images and similar images cleaned up, users will gain more storage space on their PCs and at the same will have Nero MediaHome as their central media archive cleaned automatically, too.

NEW in Nero MediaHome: Access ‘OneDrive Files on Demand’

With Nero 2019 Nero MediaHome users can now access their ‘OneDrive online files on demand’ and have the option to individually download these, only when needed.  This way, they can save storage capacity on their PC while having photos, videos, movies, TV shows, and music available anytime via download in Nero MediaHome, and thanks to Nero MediaBrowser even in any other Nero application.

All files will automatically be loaded into a pre-designed video project complete with intro and outro sequence, effects, captions and matching music. Simply preview the video project, export, and share it.

NEW in Nero Recode: Convert to ‘Disc-compatible Formats’

Now, Nero users can transcode non-compliant source video files to fully compatible videodisc file formats prior to importing them into videodisc projects (DVD-Video™, AVCHD, Blu-ray Disc™). After conversion, the files can be handed over to video editing or authoring projects in Nero Video. Thanks to this new pre-conversion function in Nero Recode the time needed for rendering and burning a videodisc in Nero Video can be drastically reduced by utilizing Nero SmartEncoding.  The new Disc-compatible profiles are also beneficial for users that want to utilize 4K source video for editing and exporting to Full HD or Blu-ray Discs™ but lack a more powerful editing system. When transcoding from 4K to Full HD before sending the video files to Nero Video, also lower performing systems will work more effectively.

NEW in Nero BackItUp: BackUp and Restore via the Cloud

Now, Nero users can do their online backups with ‘OneDrive’ and ‘Google Drive’ cloud storage. Actually, data can also be restored online, making backing up and restoring with Nero BackItUp independent of a special location.
