Questions
When should I use boxed captions captions?
They're best for busy backgrounds and outdoor footage. Each phrase sits on a solid box, so it reads on any background. Great when the footage is bright or busy.
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.
