Hello everyone,

    I'd be interested in finding an accessible video editor for Windows.

Nicole Torcolini, if you have the time, give the Linux build Vinux a
try. Vinux is accessible and through the Linux program repositories
you've got access to such full featured media editors as LIVES
http://lives.sourceforge.net/ and Openshot http://openshot.org/ as well
as many much simpler programs that are all free. LIVES will run on MS
and Linux but it is a very complex program. Openshot is easier but only
runs on Linux. I'm sighted so I can't vouch for accessibility on either
one, but they are free, so if they don't pan out you haven't lost
anything but time.

Depending on how large your files are and how detailed you plan on
getting with your editing, you'll need to assess how much computer you
need since media editing, cutting - splicing and recompiling, can get to
be extremely hardware intensive. I'd say that your best bet would be to
dual-boot Vinux alongside your present OS which I'll assume is MS. If
you were to try to run Vinux in a virtual machine within MS you might
loose some performance which you can't afford and still get good
processing results unless you know your hardware specs exactly and could
adjust your virtual machine settings to use them fully. That gets tricky
and I wouldn't recommend that route. If this is a serious venture, you
may want to check on what hardware upgrades you can get put into your
present computer too to get the best processing power, even if you don't
choose Vinux.

There may be some Vinux users who do some media editing and you can get
their evaluations on programs and their accessibility from the Vinux
support list.
