Blind Guy Trying to Find Accessible Video Editor (self.VideoEditing)

per /u/accessaces who made me take dictation rather than logging in herself:

If you are willing to use a Mac, Screenflow is very usable. They do not have a Windows version. Their keyboard shortcuts are extensive and fully user configurable. Once you realize where the editing area is, ie. in the scroll zone, editing is a piece of cake. I had a friend help me set up a couple of VoiceOver hot spots and label a few of the unlabeled graphics but I don't even depend on those any more. I wish TechSmith would create a similar Windows product but they only offer one product dual platform.

If you have it or can afford it then Final Cut Pro is an option as well. I don't use it but a blind friend does.

If you are interested in adding captions to your video I find the Cadet software from WGBH works extraordinarily well. It works best with NVDA but I have already reported the few JAWS bugs so they might be fixing them now. What I have been doing is getting youtube to autogenerate captions and then cleaning up the captions after the fact.

$1, all of the filming, editing and captions done exclusively by blind people. Some episodes were edited by me using ScreenFlow and some using Final Cut Pro by a friend who is also blind.

Thanks for the suggestions. I will do some more research on those programs.

I just wanted to give an update. I was checking out another post and Reaper was suggested. I tried out Reaper, and it took a while to figure out how to use the program efficiently, but now, I am happy with it.

​

Some other video editors that people said are accessible include VirtualDub/VirtualDub 2, Machete Video Editor, VideoPad, and VideoReDo. However, out of these, I have only tried VirtualDub 2. It was fine, but I think I prefer Reaper.
