Questions
When should I use outline stroke captions?
They're best for gaming, sport and high-energy edits. Big white text with a thick dark outline, readable over anything that moves. Loud on purpose.
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.
