Platform-specific guidance

YouTube Shorts subtitle checklist

Make each caption readable at short-form speed while keeping the vertical frame uncluttered.

1

Caption the hook immediately

Make the opening line clear before the Short moves into the main idea.

2

Use compact phrases

Keep subtitle groups short enough to scan during fast edits and demonstrations.

3

Check mobile placement

Preview captions in the vertical composition and move them away from key visuals.

Subtitle guides for more platforms

Use the same editor while adapting subtitle pacing, placement, and styling for each publishing destination.
