That doesn't really add up to me.


Blindness is not a binary condition. There are a wide range of deficits
including a somewhat arbitrary "legally blnd" state which differs from one
country to another. There are those whose blindness may be principally in
color perception, night time vision, peripheral vision, etc.

The bottom line is that video editing and many other tasks which rely on
vision can be performed by those individuals whose medical and / or legal
situation is accurately described as blind.
