limit lines to no more than 30 characters each and split at natural pauses. this ensures viewers can read quickly on small screens without missing content. - adjust display duration for readability
set each caption to appear for at least 1.5 seconds per line of text. longer lines may need up to 2 seconds per line to give mobile viewers time to read. - choose a legible font size and style
select a sans-serif font at 16–18px (or the platform’s equivalent) so text remains clear on vertical videos. avoid ornate fonts that can blur on mobile screens. - add contrast with background or outline
apply a semi-transparent dark background or white stroke around text to ensure visibility over varied video content. test in bright and dim viewing conditions. - position subtitles within the safe area
place captions above on-screen buttons and below any titles or logos. keep all text at least 10% in from the top and bottom edges to avoid being cut off on different devices. - synchronize with key visual cues
align subtitle start times with when dialogue truly begins and end just after the speaker finishes. use capsai’s drag-and-drop timing controls to fine-tune sync. - preview on multiple devices
after exporting burned-in captions or uploading SRT files, watch the video on iOS and Android phones to confirm legibility, timing, and placement across screen sizes. - optimize for social platforms
for Instagram Reels or TikTok, keep subtitles within the middle two-thirds of the frame. for Facebook or YouTube Shorts, ensure text isn’t obscured by platform UI elements. - gather feedback and iterate
monitor viewer retention and comments. if users mention difficulty reading, revisit line breaks, font size, or contrast settings to improve future subtitle formatting.
