Functionally, however, it does everything you want it to, and features recent developments in video editing capabilities like a magnetic snap feature. It looks and feels less sophisticated than other editors. Unfortunately, the Express UI makes everything feel like the software is a bit behind the times with the way the clips are laid out as thumbnails with white space between, above, and below the footage. It’s a budget multimedia package that’s a decent deal for the video editor alone. It’s a nice way to keep track of your footage as you edit. The timeline workspace opens by default in the 'Express Editing' view, which shows a thumbnail pic for your different clips segments in your sequence. The Nero Video Timeline is very easy to use and one of the most accessible we tested.

When you open Nero Video you can import media from a camera or storage device, select from projects you may be working on, or burn a disc. Another easy-to-use feature with new editors in mind is the 1-Click Slideshow theme, which automatically selects from a host of different titles to include text at the start of a video and incorporate background music from your library. It also has a feature that can easily import and display vertical videos taken on a smartphone to make them effortless to incorporate into a montage or home movie. Nero Video makes creating home movies and slideshows of your pictures and videos both personalized and simple, with a thousand templates and movie themes to choose from.
