Does Nero provide vertical video themes?

Yes, indeed.

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 ‘effect drop zone’ 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.

I have shot video with my smartphone vertically – how to edit and output this vertically, too?

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 ‘Edit Vertical Video’.

‘Express Editing’ and ‘Advanced Editing’ in almost all functions work exactly like the regular widescreen editing mode of Nero Video.

Does Nero provide more Disc Menu Templates?

Indeed, with the product versions Nero Platinum 2018 and Nero Video 2018, Nero introduces a new range of video disc menu templates.

My Day DVD1

Design wise, the new movie themes templates are close to the also newly introduced MovieTheme templates: The disc menu templates have two categories. ‘My Day‘ disc menus include a variety of templates associated to family, travel, events, and pets. The second category ‘Action’ includes outdoor themes.
My Day 8 Menu

You can use these disc menu templates also completely independent of the MovieThemes.

Action 4 Menu

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.

In my video projects, I make use of image formats like 4:3, 3:2, 9:16, and 1:1. Does Nero have a solution to fill black bars?

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 – like images from your DSC or smartphone in 4:3, 3:2, 1:1, or 9:16 aspect ratio – 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 ‘undo remove black bars’ 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 ‘Remove black bars’ via the arrow. This window will let you set advanced options.
