Re: Video editing

[Dave Carlson]

Hello again Tom,
I’m really interested in what hardware and software you are using with the Mac 
to convert VHS tapes to digital files. I need to archive some important tapes 
before we sell off our VCR.

Thanks!

I’ve been using the Mac for a little over a year but still consider myself a

software where I can edit these videos.  Simple editing like cutting an 
copying, nothing else.  I tried iMovie, but that is a little intense.  Can 
anyone recommend a simple video editing software to do this?  Thanks.

RE: Accessibility of Ring Video Doorbell V2

Hi;
Yes app is accessible. A sighted person will have to draw an area of focus

rest is accessible.

Hello,
My family have 2 iPhones running IOS 16.4.1 and we are considering installing a 
Ring Video Doorbell version 2. I am blind and so use VoiceOver on one of the 
iPhones. Is the Ring App accessible to the extent that I can adjust the

ringing the doorbell? Can I setup the doorbell to talk to both of our iPhones?I 
anticipate that the doorbell would connectto Many thanks for any help … Paul

Hi,
I have read about this on this list in the past. However when I got my new 
silicon iMac I just used a previous Time Machine backup and all went perfectly.

Re: Accessibility of Ring Video Doorbell V2

[Yolanda Thompson]

So, ring keeps causing MAC users frustration because they say they
will not support MAC, then I think the last thing is the ring info can
be accessed via Safari.
However, on the iPhones it works well. Had to address some
inaccessibility in setup and so forth; however, last I heard they had
fixed this.

Accessibility of Ring Video Doorbell V2

[Paul Hopewell]

Hello,
My family have 2 iPhones running IOS 16.4.1 and we are considering installing a 
Ring Video Doorbell version 2. I am blind and so use VoiceOver on one of the 
iPhones. Is the Ring App accessible to the extent that I can adjust the 
settings, get alarms when the doorbell rings, and be able to talk to the person 
ringing the doorbell? Can I setup the doorbell to talk to both of our iPhones?I 
anticipate that the doorbell would connectto 
Many thanks for any help … Paul Hopewell

Re: Preparing for a new Mac?

['Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries]

Hi Lenron,

Are you sure that reinstalling from a Time Machine backup when going from 
silicon to silicon works?  I’d love to go back to using Time Machine to do 
this.  It’s definitely the easiest way to migrate your content.  I just don’t 
ever want to go through all that headache again. :)
Cheers,
Donna

Re: Preparing for a new Mac?

[lenron brown]

going from a silicon to another works just fine. There is no way I am
going to start fresh every single time. My computer is setup as a
production system, and having to start from square one if nothing is
broken is not something I am trying to do.

Re: Preparing for a new Mac?

['Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries]

By way of contrast, I’ve always set up every new Mac from a Time-machine 
backup.  So that’s what I did when I got my Apple Silicon Mac.  It was a total 
nightmare!  I spent the better part of a week trying to get the new Mac up and 
running.  Most of that time I was in recovery mode, because that was the only 
thing I could access.  With lots of support from this list, I tried everything, 
including reinstalling the OS.  Nothing worked and eventually I gave up and 
returned it for a new Mac.  Even though next time I’ll be going from one 
silicon Mac to another, I don’t think I’ll ever restore from a Time Machine 
backup again.
Cheers,
Donna

[Brad Snyder]

Perhaps so.
I know of at least a half dozen who have attempted setting up a new Apple 
silicon Mac from a Time Machine backup of their Intel Mac, and everyone of them 
ended up with an unusable Mac that had to be returned to Apple.
I have never been in favor of setting up a new Mac from a Time Machine backup, 
even in the Intel days.
I have always viewed setting up a new Mac as an opportunity for a fresh start, 
that leaves behind all the clutter and miscellaneous garbage that had 
accumulated over time on my old Mac.
It is a bit more time consuming to start fresh, but I have always felt the 
effort was worthwhile.

Re: Preparing for a new Mac?

[Brad Snyder]

Whatever you do, do not attempt to setup your new Mac with Apple silicon, from 
a Time Machine backup from an Intel Mac.
The 2 Macs have different internal hardware, and different versions of the 
macOS that are not compatible with one another.
Everyone I know who has attempted setting up a new Apple silicon Mac from a 
Time Machine backup from an Intel Mac, has rendered their new Apple silicon Mac 
unusable, and has had to return it to Apple.

Several things. Make sure you have access to all your passwords. Keychain is a 
good way to go, but there are other ways. Back up all your files to cloud 
storage, iCloud, Dropbox, etc. Don’t delete your old Mac until you are 
satisfied you have everything on the new one.

Preparing for a new Mac?

[Maurice A. Mines]

Good morning all I am beginning to process of preparing for a new Mac. I 
currently have an Intel-based MacBook Pro 2020 I am waiting for the final 
shipping on a new MacBook Pro 14 inch M2. What things should I be doing to 
prepare other than the things that I’m already starting to do. One I am going 
through the list of the applications that I use to find out which applications 
were require versions that run under silicon. To beginning the process of 
switching back up media. Can’t use the old back up media because well quite 
frankly it’s too old. Is there anything I am missing?
Two notes, one my email is of a personal nature. Meaning talking about my 
personal computer. Nothing to do with the national Federation of the blind at 
all. To please be aware that I’m dictating with to my phone so here’s hoping

Re: Video editing

[Kelly Ford]

Hi,

Although it is primarily used for audio editing, the Reaper program can be used 
for editing videos. I’ve had success trimming and making basic edits to screen 
recordings I’ve produced using the program to edit.

See www.reaperaccessibility.com  for more 
details. It might seem like this is using a really complex tool but you can 
focus on just the basics of setting markers, cutting and such.

Re: Video editing

[Dave Carlson]

Tom,
Can’t help with the editing, but can you tell me what hardware and software you 
used on your Mac to transfer those VHS tapes to digital format? I also have 
some that I need to preserve before the VCR finally dies.

Video editing

[Tom Rash]

I’ve been using the Mac for a little over a year but still consider myself a 
newbie.  I’ve started a project of digitizing VHS video tapes.  I have over 40 
years of old family videos on my hard drive now.  I’m wanting a piece of 
software where I can edit these videos.  Simple editing like cutting an 
copying, nothing else.  I tried iMovie, but that is a little intense.  Can 
anyone recommend a simple video editing software to do this?  Thanks.

Dolphin Easy Reader & Braille display

['Andrew Lamanche' via MacVisionaries]

Hi,

Is it possible to read books with a refreshable Braille display in Dolphin Easy 
Reader app on the mac?  I can’t find a way of doing so.
