Start with where the video will be watched. On a busy, bright or fast-moving clip, pick a style with an outline or a solid background so the words never sink into the picture. On calm footage, a minimal or serif style keeps attention on the speaker.
Then think about how people read along. Styles that highlight the current word help viewers follow speech with the sound off. Styles that show a whole phrase at once are easier to read when people talk quickly.
Whichever you choose, check the final frame on a phone. Captions that look generous on a laptop can be cramped on a small screen, and each app draws its own buttons over part of the video. The safe zone checker shows where.
In the editor you can change the font, size, colours and position of any style, and move the captions by dragging them on your own video. Exports have no watermark.
