In Nero Video Vertical Editing Mode available in Nero Platinum 2018 (and later) as well as Nero Video 2018 (and later) you will find a variety of Nero MovieThemes that you can easily utilize for quick and shiny vertical movies to share or watch on your smartphone. The themes cover typical topics like family, travel, events, pets, and outdoor action.
The âeffect drop zoneâ in intro and outro allows you to personalize your movie by simply dragging photos or videos into the preview window or timeline. The dropped asset will automatically be integrated into the animation pattern of the template.
The main movie part has integrated dedicated video effects per template like focus/out of focus (tilt shift), nostalgic effects, slow-motion, etc., and each template comes with an individually composed music track that automatically adapts to the duration of your project.
There is no need to know a lot about video editing, except that you need to decide which source videos or photos you want to use for your movie and where you might want to trim them. The rest is all done automatically via the pre-designed movie themes.
This way you can create vertical masterpieces in no time for sharing and watching on your mobile device.
Today, most videos and photos are captured via smartphones in portrait orientation, and are also shared and watched vertically. Following this trend, major social media platforms like YouTube and Facebook have introduced vertical video as a newly supported standard format.
Nero Video has comfortable functions to utilize this format out of the box, now.
Via the vertical video editing mode, Nero Video allows you to import, edit, and export portrait videos and photos in native vertical video format.
You can access the vertical video editing mode via Nero Video home screen either by dropping your files into the drop zone (dragging a 16:9 vertical video will automatically open a vertical editing project), or by clicking on the button âEdit Vertical Videoâ.
‘Express Editing’ and ‘Advanced Editing’ in almost all functions work exactly like the regular widescreen editing mode of Nero Video.
Vertical Video – Express Editing
Vertical Video – Advanced Editing
When selecting one of the new ‘Vertical Video MovieThemes’ intro, outro, visual effects and matching music will be added to your vertical movie automatically. This way you can create your vertical masterpieces in no time for sharing and watching on your mobile device.
Indeed, with the product versions Nero Platinum 2018 and Nero Video 2018, Nero introduces a new range of video disc menu templates.
Design wise, the new movie themes templates are close to the also newly introduced MovieTheme templates: The disc menu templates have two categories. âMy Dayâ disc menus include a variety of templates associated to family, travel, events, and pets. The second category âActionâ includes outdoor themes.
You can use these disc menu templates also completely independent of the MovieThemes.
Via disc menu templates, you will create high quality playback menus for your Video-DVDs, AVCHD und Blu-ray Discs⢠in a snap. Then just access the playback menu on your video disc via the remote control of your DVD or Blu-ray player.
Indeed, it can happen quite frequently that one uses a variety of image and video formats within a 16:9 widescreen video project which do not cover the full width of your video. This way you will see those ugly black bars left and right of your video image.
If you import source clips into a 16:9 Nero Video project that do not have an aspect ratio of 16:9 â like images from your DSC or smartphone in 4:3, 3:2, 1:1, or 9:16 aspect ratio â and you drag & drop these clips to the timeline of Nero Video, now all black bars will be automatically replaced with a mask image taken from the content of your source clip. This great effect is introduced with Nero 2018.
This way, all of the clips in your project will have a consistent and nice look and feel. Within the context menu options of each clip (right mouse click), you can decide if you want to have black bars removed from any clip in your project or only for the given one. You can also âundo remove black barsâ for each clip individually via button or context menu.
In advanced editing mode you also have the option to modify shape and color of the mask per clip. Just select a clip and place the timeline cursor over it. Then check the properties windows and open the listed effect âRemove black barsâ via the arrow. This window will let you set advanced options.
Nero Video is one of the most popular applications within Nero Suite. This is equally true for the included âMovieThemesâ, enabling the creation of automated movies and slideshows. Nero keeps getting user inquiries asking for new templates, also including new topics for MovieThemes.
With introducing new Nero Platinum 2018 and Nero Video 2018 Nero have taken the wish lists of users seriously in multiple aspects.
There is a whole range of new features for widescreen video and disc projects, and a complete new vertical video editing mode, only to mention a few. Within this blog, we want to give you some insight into the new MovieThemes for widescreen videos. Stay tuned for coming Nero KnowHow FAQ blogs with more details on new features in Nero Platinum 2018.
As you may know Nero Video MovieThemes contain all the ingredients for a final movie: intro, outro, main part of the movie or slideshow, pan & zoom, transitions, as well as matching music.
All of that is still the base of the new movie themes, but intro/outro as well as the main part of the movie have seen quite some upgrades in design. The main movie part now has integrated dedicated video effects per template like focus/out of focus (Tilt Shift), nostalgic effects, slow-motion, etc., and each template comes with an individually composed music track that automatically adapts to the duration of your project. The new âeffect drop zoneâ is unique: via intro and outro, you now can better personalize your movie by simply dragging photos or videos into the preview window or timeline. The dropped asset will automatically be integrated into the animation pattern of the template.
Via these improvements, the newly designed MovieTheme templates in Nero Video gain a stronger individual appeal matched to the respective theme. Â Now, you will achieve small and larger master pieces of your videos and photos in less time with more individualized and creative results.
The new MovieTheme templates are available within two categories. âMy Dayâ includes a variety of templates with themes associated to family, travel, events, and pets. The second category âActionâ includes different outdoor themes.
When making use of Nero MovieThemes there is no need to know a lot about video editing, except that you need to decide which source videos or photos you want to use for your movie and where you might want to trim them. The rest is all done automatically via the pre-designed movie themes.
By the way: the music tracks integrated into the new MovieThemes are also available as individual drag & drop music tracks for your other projects. You will find them under âMy Mediaâ > âAudioâ, > ââMy Dayâ, or âActionâ.
