Adding Captions to Your Videos
1. Choose Style
Bold/Modern (TikTok), Minimal/Clean (professional), Animated (word-by-word), Outlined (high contrast), or Boxed (background)
2. Select Colors
High contrast works best: White text + black outline, yellow + black background, or branded colors with readability

4. Set Timing
One line per phrase, match speech rhythm, 2-3 seconds minimum per caption, smooth transitions
Best Practices
Caption Best Practices
Readability
Use sans-serif fonts with bold weight and mobile-first sizing (approx. 20% screen height). Ensure proper capitalization, highlight keywords, and break long sentences to match speech timing. Avoid all caps, overcrowding, low contrast, covering faces, or rushing the timing.
Platform Guide
For TikTok, use bold, large, centered text with trendy animations. Instagram favors aesthetic styling with moderate pacing and lower-third placement. YouTube Shorts work best with professional fonts, longer durations, and full sentences.
