Here's another one for the #blind#hiveMind primarily, but feel free to chime in if you have a good idea.
For an upcoming video/stream, I am looking into video editing as a #screenReader user. I'd like to cover both #mac and #windows and am curious what solutions have worked well for people in the past.
Conditions are no mouse usage at all, app needs to be screenreader-compatible, ideally somewhat full-featured both for #audio and #video.
Be it #iMovie, #Clipchamp, #quicktime, #reaper, a dreaded #AI tool, tell me thy success stories, thy struggles and thy findings! 😊 #accessibility

Gary’s Videos: A Relatable Journey of Discovery (and Frustration!)

Ever watch a tech video and feel like you’re looking in a mirror? Gary’s videos perfectly capture the real-world struggles and triumphs of exploring new systems, making them a must-watch for anyone who’s ever debugged their way through a late night.

The Framework 16 laptop detects when it's booted partially assembled. It boots into a special mode to walk you through completing the assembly. The screen updates to reflect your progress and prompt the next step. This requires no tools to complete. Impressive! Watch:

An early morning alone on the banks of the (still young) Isar river some weeks ago... Really more "flow" rather than #WaterfallWednesday, but I just absolutely cherish places and moments like this & feeling so privileged being able to experience these after decades of living in large cities... (each time also a reminder how much we stand to lose...)

Short POV video of a mountain river with crystal clear pale blue water gently flowing. At the beginning of the video some trees are bent over the water, the view then pans to follow the flow with mountains in the background...

Do (Or Don't!) Look Down... into the beautiful valley (Rappenalptal) 😍

Short 18second, 270° video panorama of a beautiful large & deep alpine valley from around 800m above. The ground drops off steeply directly next to the narrow path (already on a slope itself). The mountains on the other side are up to ~2700m above sea level and ~1600m above the valley floor with green & rocky slopes, forest in the lower sections. A small road is leading along the last houses towards the end of the valley (the border pass is briefly visible between 12-14 seconds). Semi-cloudy blue sky, with some clouds nestled around the peaks and their shadows creating extra drama...

The lovely new asphalt on the beautiful bike path in the woods of Îles des Sœurs creates a feeling of speed, even though that isn't the case. The wide angle and proximity of the trees enhance this sensation.

So I have hundreds of videos of ~1 minute recorded from my phone ~10 years ago, and they generally don’t have that great compression, nor they are stored in a modern and advanced video format.

For archiving purposes, I want to take advantage of my workstation’s mighty GPU to process them so that the quality is approximately the same, but the file size would be strongly reduced.

Nevertheless, compressing videos is terribly hard, and way more complex than compressing pictures, so I wouldn’t really know how to do this, what format to use, what codec, what bitrate, what parameters to keep an eye on, etc.

I don’t care if the compression takes a lot of time, I just want smaller but good looking videos.

Any tips? (Links to guides and tutorials are ok too)

Also, unfortunately I am forced to use Windows for this (don’t ask me why 🫠), but I know nothing about Windows because I hate it. Practical software suggestions are very much welcome, too!

This is an inspiring video about a community who set up an organic market garden at their local school. Which serves as an outdoor classroom for teaching a range of subjects, provides produce for the school community, and brings in funding by selling to cafes and restaurants;

This is what political vision looks like. Replacing community-run school lunch programs with one-slop-feeds-all corporate sweatshops ... does not.
