What Is It?
Note:
It is not just for video files. Encrypts any file.
The most convenient way to securely lock video files on your PC.
Video Padlock is super-easy to use. When you open it the first time, you'll be
asked for a master password, which will be required to access your encrypted
videos later. Inside Video Padlock you can use the following buttons:
Lock button
JAWS reads this as Encrypt
Play button lets you play your video / view your file.
Unlock button lets you decrypt your video file or any file.
JAWS reads it as Decrypt
Delete button
Replay Video Padlock Version 1.2 7-20-2012
JAWS 14 screen reader
Helpful Hints
Do not use your ENTER keyboard key to activate a button on the main interface
of Video Padlock because it will close the program completely and you will need
to run Video Padlock again.
Only use your spacebar to activate the buttons on the main interface.
Activation Code
Copy the activation code to your clipboard provided by Applian Technologies
because you will need it.
Installation
Installation of Video Padlock very accessible.
At the end of the install the user is asked to install Applian Director which
is not part of Video Padlock but another product from Applian Technologies
presented an issue as JAWS read three unlabeled buttons and the user is unable
to determine what they are or what they do. Was told there is a checkbox that
is checked / enabled on the Applian Director install screen but JAWS does not
announce such a checkbox. Try to use your route JAWS to PC cursor which is
insert+minus on the numeric keypad and use arrow keys to navigate to the text
that reads 1 MB and do a JAWS left mouse click which is numeric keypad / to
activate the checkbox to appear normally. If this works then make sure to make
the selection you desire to install or not to install Applian Director. I do
not know anything about Applian Director. Never used it. Make sure you go back
to the PC cursor mode which is numeric keypad + and choose next button or
cancel depending what you did in the checkbox.
Registration / Entering Activation Code
The registration process works well. Run Video Padlock. A registration screen
appears. Edit box for code is shown. Paste the code and choose register button.
If successful a thank you message appears. Choose continue link.
Video Padlock is running. Full access. No demo.
Main Interface (UI)
The main interface which I will call the UI from here on out is accessible.
Title is read with insert+t.
To select a button only use your spacebar.
Do not use your ENTER keyboard key.
Use your TAB or shift+TAB keyboard keys to advance to each button on the UI.
The buttons are
About
Help
Minimize
Exit
Play
Encrypt (referred as the lock in the user guide)
Decrypt (referred as the unlock button in the user guide)
Delete
Settings
After the settings button you have the
List View 0 items
List View Hint
When you have encrypted files they will appear in the List View. Arrow down to
a file in the List View and do
While in the List View use JAWS keyboard commands
insert+ctrl+numbers row 1 to hear the name of the encyrpted file
insert+ctrl+numbers row 2 to hear the date of the encrypted file
insert+up arrow to read the entire line in the List View.
We are finished with the UI.
How To Encrypt / Lock A File
Press spacebar on the Encrypt button.
A standard dialog box and fully accessible called Select Files to Encrypt
appears.
In the files types list I chose All Types as I am going to encrypt / lock a
text file .txt here. You can encrypt any type of file with Video Padlock and
not just video files.
I located my file and it appears in name field in the standard dialog screen.
Choose open button.
When its not a video file it will warn you that if you are sure you want dialog
box so choose OK.
Bug report for developer. The warning dialog box is read as Replay Music and
not Video Padlock but nothing to worry about or fix.
Video Padlock is back in focus.
TAB Key over to the List View contents.
Arrow down one time.
The file path of your encrypted file is shown along with date created.
For example,
C:\downloads\test.txt 8/17/13
Use JAWS commands to read the List View
insert+ctrl+numbers row 1 for file name / path
insert+ctrl+numbers row 2 for date file was created
insert+up arrow to read entire line
Since you encrypted this file it will no longer appear on your hard drive. You
can only view it within Video Padlock. If you delete this file within Video
Padlock it will be forever gone. Be careful.
How To Play / View An Encrypted File
Go to the List View
Arrow to the file.
Shift+TAB a few time to the Play button and press spacebar.
Processing is heard.
The file is played or viewed.
In this example since I used a text file it was opened by NotePad text editor.
alt+F4 to close the program that opened the file.
How To Decrypt / Unlock A file
Go to the List View
Arrow to a file.
Shift+TAB key a few times to the Decrypt button and press spacebar.
You have unlocked your file.
The List View no longer shows the file.
Your file is now back in its original location on your hard drive.
Settings Button On UI
Press spacebar on the settings button on main interface.
Settings dialog appears.
Choose the type of encryption.
Default is partial encryption radio button is selected.
Change password button.
Open log file button. This is for tech support. in case you are having an issue
and the want you to send a log file to them.
Forgot Your Master Password?
Use utility called Clear Activation Code. This utility has a reset/clear
password button.
Run the utility program offered by Applian. It is accessible as I tested this
utility.
