So, Apple has jumped on the Adobe bandwagon and is now charging rent for creative tools 😞

Alternatively, you can use free open source alternatives without any subscription:

@FediFollows I've tried some of these, and as a blind person they don't fully support keyboard navigation and screen readers like NVDA and Jaws, whereas Apple actually takes into consideration that blind people may wanna try and create stuff, and thus they make these tools accessible with VoiceOver.

Sorry to hear that, thanks for the headsup about these problems.

I hope the developers of the open alternatives pay attention to this as accessibility is vital.

@FediFollows Same, I've tried Kdenlive and OpenShot, and they both have serious issues, so I'm either stuck to using Powerpoint for making videos, or relying on my girlfriend @chloehodges to get videos done for me.

Something that could help in the long run, if you have the time and patience of course, is sending issue reports listing exactly what parts are lacking in accessibility, how do they compare with tools that do cater to accessible workflows, and suggest ways to implement those changes. Many open-source projects lack the perspective of people that require accessibility tools.
