Captions should help people follow the spoken content without competing with the video.
|
|
|
|
## Review the words first
|
|
|
|
Correct transcription mistakes, names, punctuation, and line breaks before polishing the animation.
|
|
|
|
Listen to the audio while checking the caption timeline. A visually neat caption that appears on the wrong word is still wrong.
|
|
|
|
## Adjust timing
|
|
|
|
Move or trim caption segments so the text follows the speech. Keep enough words together to make sense, but avoid leaving a large paragraph on screen.
|
|
|
|
## Adjust the design
|
|
|
|
Choose type, size, placement, contrast, and emphasis that remain readable across the footage.
|
|
|
|
Use a restrained style for normal subtitles. Use expressive word-level animation when the caption itself is part of the visual storytelling.
|
|
|
|
Browse [caption components](/catalog/components/caption-highlight) for reusable treatments.
|
|
|
|
## Check the complete video
|
|
|
|
- Watch with sound.
|
|
- Watch once with sound muted.
|
|
- Check important words against cuts and overlays.
|
|
- Check the caption position over every background.
|
|
- Confirm the final caption disappears cleanly.
