Key takeaways
- Effective subtitles convey the message, make product names legible, and stay clear of interface overlays.
- First, correct the transcription, proper nouns, and punctuation.
- Avoid word-by-word animations that move too fast to read instructions or watch the product demo.
Effective subtitles convey the message, make product names legible, and stay clear of interface overlays. Effects should support viewer comprehension rather than distract from it.
The Step-by-Step Approach
Start by proofreading the transcript, proper nouns, and punctuation. Break sentences down into natural sense units. Preview the video on a mobile screen and across intended placement formats. Keep key visual elements well clear of on-screen UI overlays.
Implementation Example
Fictional example for illustration purposes, with no claimed client results: A demo explains a two-step setting. The captions follow the action without covering the button. Technical terms match official product documentation, and a clean textless version is archived if requested.
Mistakes to Avoid
Avoid overly fast word-by-word animations that prevent viewers from reading instructions or following along with the demonstration.
