Questions
When should I use subtitle style captions?
They're best for interviews, podcasts and documentary clips. Full sentences, low in the frame, like film subtitles. It's the most readable for long speech and feels editorial.
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.
