Questions
When should I use bold keyword highlight captions?
They're best for educational and tips content. Short phrases of 1 to 3 words, with the one word that matters in a bright colour. The viewer reads the keyword even when skimming.
Do captions really matter on short-form video?
Many people watch with the sound off, and captions also keep viewers who are listening locked in. Readable captions are part of the edit, not an extra.
Can I mix caption styles in one video?
Keep one style for the whole video. Switching styles mid-video makes it feel unedited.
