How Does a Blind Person Edit Video?
The Staunton Media Lab (SML) is pleased to present a new video release entitled How Does a Blind Person Edit Video? Watch as SML Audio Director Coley Evans, who is blind from birth, edits a video using Windows Movie Maker.
SML hopes you will share this extraordinary video. It's built around a screen capture from Coley's first effort at video editing. You are seeing something even Coley can't see: what it looks like when a blind person edits video.
How Does a Blind Person Edit Video? was made with the following process:
- Coley downloads video from YouTube and opens in Windows Movie Maker
- Coley starts the screen capture program, Screencastify, which makes a movie of his desktop
- The screen capture movie is converted to MP4 using VLC software
- Video of Coley editing video without a monitor or a mouse was added
(Shot with a Canon HD Cam saved to an SD card) - Video of short interview with Coley was added
(Shot with a Sony MiniDV Cam to an EZ Grabber capture card to OBS) - Music was downloaded from a credited source of copyright-free music
- Two synthetic, machine-generated voices are heard in this video
- The final video was edited by Devon Donis, Video Editor at SML, using Adobe Premier
- Directed by Steve O'Keefe, SML Executive Director
- Produced by Staunton Media Lab — Video & Audio Editing by the Deaf, Blind and Uniquely Able
