Nero 2018 Platinum suite review

Nero was born in 1995 and since then it has become the absolute reference when it comes to recording optical discs, first CDs and then extended to DVDs and Blu-Rays. After its success as a recording medium, Nero has expanded its functionality to become the most complete multimedia suite on the market, as well as tasks such as listening to music, playing video, editing video, creating your own personalized DVDs and much more. turned into a child's play thanks to the excellent tools that Nero offers us. Nero is the definitive tool for lovers of the digital world and is responsible for proving it in each of its versions, it is not easy to stay on top for so long so that the company's effort to excel year after year is commendable.

Main interface

When we open Nero 18 Platinum the first thing we see is its modern Nero Launcher interface, it has a design very similar to the interface introduced by Microsoft with Windows 8 and, in a way, it remains in the menu of the current Windows 10. This screen de Nero 18 is organized in tiles that represent the different functions and applications of the suite in a very orderly way so that the user always has everything under control.

Nero MediaHome is the access point for all the multimedia functions of the suite, it also supports cloud storage so that you will have access to your favorite files wherever you are. Its interface is very easy to use and will allow you to have everything perfectly located at all times. For lovers of photography Nero 18 Platinum has a very complete manager to have everything always perfectly ordered, thanks to Nero Geotags you will be able to tag all your content and create presentations from all the sites you've been to in a very simple way.

Nero 18 Platinum also knows how to adapt perfectly to the era of streaming, thanks to Nero MediaHome we can stream through our WiFi network with automatic conversion to different formats to facilitate viewing. You just need to drag the file in question to the conversion area to start the process with great speed.

Recording and video editing, the strengths

One of the main strengths of Nero 2018 Platinum is undoubtedly the burning of discs that was the reason for the birth of this suite. Nero Burning ROM offers us a very powerful and easy to use solution to burn all our discs as well as to do all the ripping we need. Thanks to Nero Recode we will be able to create our own personalized DVS with all our preferred multimedia content. It is also compatible with AirBurn that will allow us to record our discs directly from the smartphone or tablet, we will only have to have left the computer on with a blank disc inside to be able to record it.

Nero SecureDisc ensures the highest speed of burning optical discs while maintaining maximum reliability. It also includes an encryption function to protect our confidential files from the eyes of others, something especially important in the business sector. Finally, it offers us the possibility of dividing the content into several discs in case one is insufficient. As always, Nero's options when it comes to recording discs are very extensive, not in vain has the company been the undisputed leader for more than 20 years.

A unique functionality of this Nero 2018 Platinum application is the SecurDisc format, which adds redundancy to our data (in exchange, of course, for the loss of space) to dramatically improve the integrity of our data in the face of possible deterioration of the media. Furthermore, it allows us to add a digital signature and / or 128-bit or 256-bit AES encryption to our data. The level of redundancy can be adjusted from x1.5 to x9, the more abundance the more the effective capacity of the storage medium is reduced, but in return we gain in security.

Video editing is something that is totally booming today and is one of the basic functions that every user of a multimedia suite is looking for. Of course Nero 18 Platinum is also up to date when it comes to video editing. Nero offers us a lot of options for video editing with which we can create home movies of incredible quality and with a very professional look if we are a little skillful.

Express mode does a great job when it comes to quick editing or stitching multiple files into one. For users who want more, it offers us the Advanced mode that offers a timeline for each track, advanced framerate control, video transmission and text effects. Without a doubt this Advanced mode is made for users who want to give their projects a professional touch without leaving the ease of use of the tool used.

Nero 18 Platinum will allow us to work with formats such as video DVDs, AVCHDs and audio CDs in a very simple way, regarding the export format of our videos we can choose the one that adapts to all types of devices such as Smartphones as well as save them to Dropbox, Google Drive or OneDrive.

Nero 2018 Platinum offers us a wide variety of fonts and styles, as well as predefined designs to give a great finish to our project without having to spend a lot of time on the basic design. Of course you can create your own style and save it for later use. Nero 18 Platinum is very fast when rendering videos, something very important in the 4K era where videos are very heavy.

Photos and music also matter

If what you need is a solvent photo editor, you will also find it in Nero 18 Platinum, it is not the strongest point of Nero but it will serve you perfectly to do some touch-ups such as removing red eyes or cropping with your favorite photos.

As for music Nero 18 Platinum gives us the possibility of combining different audio files in a playlist. A strong point of Nero in this regard is that the playlists we create will also be available in Windows Media Player and iTunes.

Music Recorder is now included in the main package to give you access to more than 90, 000 Internet stations that will provide you with a large number of streaming music tracks. The possibilities of this application continue with the possibility of creating playlists and downloading the files to our hard disk to continue enjoying them even without a connection to the network.

Safety also matters

Backups also have their corner in Nero 28 Platinum with various options that focus on user safety. If you are trying to recover data from damaged disks, deleted files or partially unreadable data, Nero offers its Rescue Agent to help you with the task. The BackItUp option is also offered to create backups in a very simple way, as well as a trial version of your TuneIt Up cleaner .

Final words and conclusion about Nero 2018 Platinum

As always we have to make a fair assessment of what Nero 18 Platinum offers us. We are facing the best optical disc recording and multimedia suite that we can find on the market, Nero has been at the top for many years and has managed to adapt perfectly to different times, the suite has been adding over the years all the functions that a user may need to offer a tremendously complete and functional package.

One aspect to highlight in Nero 2018 Platinum is that they have managed to maintain a perfectly organized interface and that makes the product very easy and pleasant to use, something that is not always easy when so many options are offered, in this sense Nero shows us that it is capable to handle complexity better than anyone.

Something that we also liked a lot is the inclusion of Music Recorder as part of the main package, before it had to be purchased separately and without a doubt adding it to the main product is a very interesting attraction, since music streaming is increasingly common and With this we forget about the need to contract another service.

In short, Nero 18 Platinum is the updating of a suite that lacked nothing but knows that it cannot rest on its laurels but must continue to improve year after year, even if it is with small steps, after all. they don't need to make big changes since they already have the best product in their sector.
